Div 4 points meet

John Duzac · 03-21-2023, 07:59 PM

The weather looks very wet this weekend at the NHRA Division 4 points meet at Baytown. Am I the only one concerned about being stuck in the Baytown mud? Friday 90% chance of rain. Saturday 0% that sounds great! Sunday 56%. I’m hoping things change for the better.

Saturday looks clear. Between Friday's chances, Saturday and Sunday even if rain is forecast. Maybe the race can be run. We don't have a lot of choices with so many tracks shutting down. I would hate to stay home and miss a race that close.

Besides the forecast looking bad,how bad are the pits already since they have had rain with more to come? Long way to go to just get stuck in mud .....Victor Penrod

Victor, the muddy conditions are exactly what I’m talking about. It is widely known j what happens when the pits get wet. Factor in how much rain hit that area in the last week. This makes for a soggy mess. After given much consideration, I’ve decided not to go to this event. I’m wishing everyone who attends this race, to have a great time with drier weather conditions.

They canceled the national open last November for less.

Decided to stay home too Mr.Duzac,850 miles round trip and $4 diesel doesn’t help.....Victor

Good point about pit conditions. We may be making a big mistake by going but we don't have a lot of chances to race this year. We'll see if it's a bad decision or not. John may be making the right one.

Right now there is a lot of pavement room, & the grass areas are dry. Rain chances are down some until Sunday, come on down

Based on this, watching Comp alone would be worth the trip…

Its the last race...a little rain and mud seems like the appropriate send off!
