Now they're saying 30% change of AM showers for Sat. I think the moral is that it's too early to tell. I'm hoping that by Wednesday we should have a better idea....
BTW... I think it's too late to change it to Sunday... to many boards involved and not enough time to let everyone know....

ok guys, i wanted to let u know if anyone wants to convoy with me, ZeroRyde from ClubRSX/TriStateRSX and i r headed down at approx 7:30AM Sat morning...we should get to the track by 9:30, plenty of time to get practice runs in...if anyone's interested in meeting helfway or joining the convoy, that's cool too
please let me know if yer interested in joining us via IM/PM/E-mail...the route hasn't been set yet, but it's gonna start via LIE to Cross Island South to Belt Pkwy., cross over Verrazano to the Outerbridge Crossing into NJ...whether we take GSP, NJ Tpke., or Route 9 is still up in the air

I’ll be taking I-78 east & 287 before heading south toward Englishtown.
According to my map, it looks like RT-9 is the best route to head south from that point….NO ???
Maybe I’ll see you guys on the road.
I haven’t programmed it into the NAV yet, so I don’t know which route it suggests.
I guess I’ll be leaving the Allentown area around 8AM.

Well, this morning's www.accuweather.com forecast states...Cloudy to partly sunny...High 54.
The rain is expected to end Wednesday and then reappear on Sunday.
As most of us know, weather forecasting is hardly the most accurately performed task. At any rate, Thursday or Friday should give us a decent idea.

the LI crew is gonna meet up with anyone off the NJ Tpke. at around Exit 12 rest area...the closest rest area to the Goethals Br. SOUTH of the bridge...the Goethals Br. exit is 13 i think, so continue south past that exit, and the 1st rest area is where we're gonna b
i think the CT crew is meeting up somewhere also, so u have this stop as an option...after this stop, we're headed all the way down to E-town via Garden State Pkwy. to Route 9...if we stay on NJ Tpke., we'll b goin about 30 minutes out of the way if we stay on major highways, and i don't wanna b taking backroads...Route 9 is much easier

Question….
Does anyone have one of those little DC powered air compressors to bring along?
I have a nice digital gauge I can bring, but my compressor is only A/C.
I hear everyone talking about experimenting with different tire pressures all the time, but how do you do this when you’re at the track?
Or do they have an air tank there we can use?
I’m probably packing a lunch and a few sodas and maybe something HOT as well.
Then I’m in for a late dinner with you guys after the races.

Since the weather is looking questionable for Saturday, when / where are we going to get the definitive answer on if this event is being held or not.
I think we need to devise a plan now since many of us are traveling quite far and plan on leaving EARLY on Saturday morning.

It depends on the weather really. We could get there make 1 run and if it rains then the track is shutdown.
I think if it gets worse or they predict like 70% chance of rain then i'm out for sure. I"ll wait till friday morning to make a call one way or another.

Sat
Nov 16 Light Rain / Wind 44°/41° 80 %
We should know more by tonight or early tomorrow morning, it doesn't look good...........
Best thing to do is check the hourly forcast on weather.com. Perhaps it won't start raining until 12 noon and we can get some runs done in the morning.
