Re: October 22nd Fun Day at Rockfalls~
I might go watch. I have nothing else better to do in the morning. I wanna run my car, but it'll be another year before I fix all the problems. I'll probably bring a Video Camera along if I feel like it. How many do you guys have so far? I'm like 50/50 on going....

You can ride with someone if you don't want to drive. I think my co-pilot seat is empty. You will probably get to experience a few good pulls on the way over

Re: October 22nd Fun Day at Rockfalls~
Well the forecast says rain for much of tommorow. My brother and i have decided not to even bother. For him, he's gotta load the car on the trailer and all so he doesn't wanna bother if it isn't gonna pay off. If it rains, it takes the track so dam long to dry in this colder weather. Rain date is Sunday and that forecast doesn't look any better. Jennifer, the track director emailed me back and said if the fun day doesn't happen this weekend, the season ends on that note. Looks like 11's will have to wait till next season.

Re: October 22nd Fun Day at Rockfalls~
It was suppose to rain tomorrow, then it wasnt. Now it's going to rain again...I guess we'll just have to wait and see if it does rain of not...haha.
Jet- is that seat still open? I could just leave my car at champs or somewhere if it is. PM me if it is and you're still planning to go....I wont be home till later tonight.

Re: October 22nd Fun Day at Rockfalls~
At this time of the year it would have to almost not rain period the entire day. It would take a long time to dry even with the brusher they use to clean the track surface. If it were like 80+* out, it could rain and be dry in no time. We'll have to see though. If it looks as though it will piss even a little from the sky, i'm out. At a certain point of the day, you don't get your money back.

Re: October 22nd Fun Day at Rockfalls~
I hope it doesn't rain, I can't make it on Sunday if it does. I guess I'll be putting the old dog in storage if that happens.

Re: October 22nd Fun Day at Rockfalls~
I've never raced on a real cold day. Obviously our engines run better in the cold but what about the traction? I would think that you woudn't get as good of traction due to the tires being stiffer.

Re: October 22nd Fun Day at Rockfalls~
I'm getting up at 5:30 to check. If it's raining or even close here, I'm out. If it looks alright, I'm going down to load up the car and head over. Weather.com showed no rain until tomorrow night.

Re: October 22nd Fun Day at Rockfalls~
Goat- when you get up, maybe post something on here. Since weather generally moves from west to east, you guys in Mpls would know what it's gonna be like before we do over here in WI.

Re: October 22nd Fun Day at Rockfalls~
Btw- do you think the traction would be pretty shitty in 40-45* weather?

Re: October 22nd Fun Day at Rockfalls~
Well, I won't be making it. I wasn't able to get my car in the shop. It should be done tomorrow afternoon though. A day late and a dollar short... I am actually hoping it rains so I can go Sun. I will be at CF on the 29th if anyone else wants to go.
