Re: LIVE from the Auto Meter Northern Class Nationals!
Hello People.........
If a forecast has 10% , 20%, 50%, or even 80%, it means that there is that percent CHANCE of rain. If it rains for just 10 seconds, it has fulfilled the percent predicted whether it be 10% or 80%.. So if 10% is predicted and it rains all day the prediction is accurate just as if it was predicted 80% but rained only 5 minutes. So you all need to get your heads out of the clouds and understand what "chance of rain" means. There has been only one weatherman in history who was always right in his predictions, and that was Les Nessman of WKRP in Cincinnati. Wish I was there but can't be.Good luck to all. Ron Ortiz U/SA tonight's forecast....................dark.......with scattered light in the morning

Re: LIVE from the Auto Meter Northern Class Nationals!
People shouldn't be scared of the weather. Like Michael said it was 80% yesterday and it did rain in the morning but was clear blue skies the rest of the day. I live 10 mins down the road from NTR and no hail or anything. I've run events there where it was raining on 70 and we were racing. Weather looks good for the weekend. Highest percentage of rain on weather.com is 20%. Going to be a great race.

Will stop out at the track Thursday afternoon, maybe 3 or 4pm or thereabouts. I look forward to being a part of this great event. Can't wait!

Re: LIVE from the Auto Meter Northern Class Nationals!
Just pulled off on side of the interstate at Verona, KY after we saw Greg Hill putting out his triangles behind his motorhome and trailer. Looks like the engine is terminal. He has already called Irvin Johns wrecker service to come and pick him up. So sorry about Greg's bad luck. We are back on the road now and should be at the track before 4.

Re: LIVE from the Auto Meter Northern Class Nationals!
I haven't been able to get out to the track yet, still doing customer work, but Rob Jackson (RobzNeed4Speed) and crew pulled in, and he posted a few pics on Facebook. Probably the #1 call I've been receiving is people concerned that the asphalt may be parked full already. It's not.
When the sponsor rigs are in position, we'll also be able to open up the "V" down next to the staging lanes for additional asphalt parking. The light rain is supposed to end by 3pm, with one more little cell from 6pm-8pm. After that, we're free and clear, with a GREAT forecast for Thursday through Sunday. LET'S RACE! The track-run Test & Tune ($50) will be from 1pm-6pm on Thursday. Redman will be there tomorrow to oversee track prep to make sure you'll have a good, consistent surface all weekend long.

Mike:
Since I am a Sponsor of the Pure Stock Challenge. Would I have to park in the Sponsor area? D |
