National Time Trials Weather

Weather.com is predicting highs in the mid 60's and a 30% to 40% of showers all three days. We have been seeing lows in the mid 30's at our home in Tempe - lows out in the desert at Firebird are probably below the freezing mark. I've heard great reports from local racers about the new Firebird surface, but if there is a cloud cover, we're going to see very low track temps.
Should be a very interesting weekend, hope to see some Maters! I'll be parked in front of the boat stands - Silver Caddy SRX.

Re: National Time Trials Weather

I'm going to pass on this weekend. Had planned on making the initial shake down runs on my funny car but it will have to wait 'til things clear up. Looks like it's going to be crummy in Vegas too.

Re: National Time Trials Weather

The last time it was raining outside my house, before heading to Fireturd, was the day that Hight ran that 4.63, Tony P made his record setting pass, Tony Shoe made the fourth quickest Top Fuel pass in the history, and Hot Rod Fuller ran his career best ET and speed; thankfully, I went anyways. Unfortunately, if you aren't local, you have a lot more to lose if the weather doesn't cooperate.

Re: National Time Trials Weather

What about monday? I know some of the teams usually hang around to make some more passes. Can anyone show up to watch or do you have to be a team member?

Re: National Time Trials Weather

I don't think the Monday session is open to the public, but I'll check this afternoon, assuming Continental gets me there. They have changed the gate three times already.

Re: National Time Trials Weather

Weather Underground starts showing a low probability of rain Saturday afternoon, then it jumps to 70 percent around 9 pm and stays there all day Sunday. Monday is supposed to be dry again.
