This type of stuff is usually on the tip of your tongue, Paul.

Just looking for your best guess, Dude. We're going up there anyway. Didn't expect you to reimburse my ticket if you were wrong.

Gateway ought to be killer this weekend, bright sunshine, cool and barometer is through the roof! Joliet may be just as good.

The local TV forecasters call for the rain tomorrow morning to be "early" and expect it to be "periodic" in the morning and out of the Petersburg area by about noon, so things look a lot better for tomorrow afternoon and we could run until curfew tomorrow night. Sunday is now starting to look pretty good - all this based on predictions that the low pressure area will slowly drift south and take the rain with it. Right now we are on the back side of the low, so the rain is coming in from the northeast instead of the southwest and the center of the low is moving south.

Let's hope they are as correct about tomorrow as they were about today.

I think the Saturday curfew is 11 p.m., will check in the a.m. It's enforced pretty strictly here, so they will pull the plug if we run up against it.

Correct oh, Compuserve'd one

From the NHRA.com schedule for this event:

Local ordinances require that no race vehicle engines be operated prior to 8:00 AM Friday or Saturday, and 10:00 AM Sunday (this includes driving to and from the staging lanes). Also, race engines may not be operated after 11:00 PM any day of the event.

11 o'clock on a Saturday? Maybe dragstrips shouldn't let retirement homes build near them. Anyone who lives near a racetrack and complains about the noise should be zapped by a cattle prod.

It's scary to think what could have been this weekend in Chicago, especially considering the times they ran in the spring when the crew chiefs were still trying to get a handle on the new tires. As much as I'd like to blame this one on Glendora, I thought I remember reading somewhere that it was actually Route 66, that only wanted one race. The situation in Richmond sounds eeriely similar to what happened in Maple Grove. I wonder if tomorrow gets rained out, if they would qualify on Sunday and race on Monday, or if they would do as they did at Maple Grove and completely reschedule the event.

They could set the field based on points if tomorrow gets rained out.

I highly doubt they would do that with two open weekends still left on the schedule before the next event in Las Vegas. I would bet they would only set the field by points at the Finals, when they are pretty much backed into a corner because of the awards ceremony.
