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.

I say cancel this thing quick. No sense pissing people off that drive all the way down there just to have to drive back.
You know they'll close the place in a heartbeat if there is any chance of a wet track. Way too much liability on their part.

GOOD NEWS!
http://www.etownraceway.com/
check out the website, it says :
"RACEWAY PARK HAS EXTENDED THE RACING SEASON BY ONE WEEK
ALL ACTIVITIES FROM N0VEMBER 16 & 17
have been rescheduled to November 23 & 24"
that means Acura Wars is *ON* for next weekend! Lets hope for no rain!
Now i have to figure out if I want to drive all the way back to NJ again for the meet (I live in Northern Virginia, but my parents live in NJ).. Hmm, decisions decisions.
