Some friends of ours from Shreveport were here for the weekend (Houston area). They said they've had a lot of rain with more coming Thur. thru Sun. I just talked to Trey, and he said the race on.

I just saw the local weather forecast and it showed a small chance of rain (10 to 20 percent) til thurs and then
on fri was 20, sat and sun 30. That's not too bad.

Looking at the schedule I don't think there is much choice.

Sept 23-25 St. Louis National and Ennis ET finals

Oct 1st Track has a booked in show scheduled

Oct 7-9 Noble Divisional

Oct 13-16 Ennis National

Oct 21-23 would make 3 div 4 races in 3 weekends

Oct 28-30 Track has JD championship

November - Vegas nat/div then Pomona

weather doesn't look great

I will be there, rain or not

Re: thunder road divisional-weather
 
Iffffff the weather does not cooperate, then it appears that Last weekend in October would work best. Should not be an issue to run JD and divisional same weekend especially since the track is scheduled to be running an event already. My 2 cents...and that's usually what it's worth. :p

Re: thunder road divisional-weather
 
We will be there too! Anybody know if VP fuels will be there?

Re: thunder road divisional-weather
 
Team Woodfin will be in attendance with the Super 10:)

I think the best option is to attend. Our D 4 officials will make every effort to get it done. Maybe cut back the number of qualifying runs and go into eliminations as soon a practical.

Well it is definitely no financial burden for trey for us to travel and sit all weekend in the rain, all we can hope for is for the weather to move out and have a doable weekend, sure looks like a long weekend of sitting in the rain, on a good note, will bring plenty of food to cookout and adult beverages to bide my time.........see you there!

Crazy idea, how about making Noble a double like Topeka? Just a crazy thought.

That's what I'm doing. The weather is looking better and better. I got 60% Friday, 40% Saturday and 20% on Sunday on the weather app right now.

Mine shows 60%, 80%, and 50%. As much as I want to try the new set up, I will be staying home

X's 2, Not looking to promising, you are probably the smart one for sure. Good luck to all that make the trip!

The Super 10 is on the property. At 5:30 Wednesday evening there where about 30 rigs at the track.

I think we are good to go.May get a shower but a normal day in North Louisiana. Let's go racing and tell Nelson and his crew Thanks. Track will hook and may I say looks really Great.

Woodfin 09-14-2016 09:20 PM

Re: thunder road divisional-weather
 
I agree about looking good. A quick tour as we headed out gave me a smile.

Re: thunder road divisional-weather
 
There is still time to make the Thunder Road Lucas race. Two time runs for all classes Saturday.

Not really sure why he even bothers to make a schedule in advance, he has yet to follow it as they were advertised.

Just finished E2 in SS and the rain hit.

Larry Sullivan 09-17-2016 06:24 PM

Re: thunder road divisional-weather
 
According to weather radar, that rain cluster is now past Gilliam, might be able to resume yet today. and there's nothing behind it (for now, anyway).

Brett C 09-17-2016 10:33 PM

Re: thunder road divisional-weather
 
Finished 2 rounds after rain hit. Finish tomorrow.

Brett C 09-18-2016 12:36 PM

Re: thunder road divisional-weather
 
I think we were down to semis in everything and a big storm hit!
Not sure if its gonna quit in time so that they can dry the track to finish.
I'm out in E4, so won't see if they finish.
Good luck to those remaining.

Brett C 09-18-2016 02:05 PM

Re: thunder road divisional-weather
 
When we left track drying was underway. Track was good all weekend especially with the heat & humidity as high as they were.

Congrats to Greg Stanfield for his Stock RU, at his home track. We raced with him and his dad, Howard, back in the '70's, at the Hallsville,TX track. They were real nice folks. Mr. Howard always made it a point to come by and say hi, and ask how are cars were running. I think they were running a Chevelle wagon back then.

Also, congrats to Aaron Stanfield, for making it to the final 5, in SS.

Big thanks to the Track, the Track and D4 Crew, and the Racers for a great weekend full of sun and fun.
