Noble revised schedule
 

Reveised, revised schedule.....

Today is a rainout....

Sunday
Comp, T/S, T/D, Motorcycles, TAD & TAFC will have 1 qualifying round in the morning and then go straight into eliminations and run to completion tomorrow.

Once those cars have been eliminated they have been asked to leave and vacate the hard surface pit areas so that we can move Stk, SS, S/ST, S/G & S/C to the hard surface pit area.

Stk, SS, S/ST, S/G & S/c will get one hit Monday morning and then go straight into elims and run to completion on Monday.

With conditions being what they are, it's an unenviable, no win situation, and this schedule should allow the event to be completed in the best manner available.

They knew it was coming why didn't they wait until next weekend. Common sense people.

Is tech closed or still open?

Re: Noble revised schedule
 

1. They already have other races scheduled at the racetrack for next weekend.

2. Conflicts with Vegas national event for those trying to earn national points.

Re: Noble revised schedule
 

Tech is still open.

Knew it was coming?

If the racing organizations cancelled races based on forecasts, we'd never get 50% of them in. I've been announcing races for over 20 years (damn, that long?) and have announced many a race that called for rain all weekend and never saw a drop. I've also seen races cancelled where the forecast called for spectacular weather.

I've announced every D4 race held @ Noble and have watched it rain all around us yet we got the race in. I've also been frozen and roasted here too.

The forecast called for this front to hit yesterday and be gone by this morning, who knew it was going to stall out the way it did. Even the local evening news forecast last night called for everything to be "past" us and into eastern/south-eastern Oklahoma by mid-day.

Hindsight is always 20-20 but when the races at the end of the season are stacked the way they are/were (Reynolds/Noble/Vegas/Vegas/Pomona) there isn't much choice other than to soldier on and adapt as necessary.

I wish every racer could see what actually goes on behind the scenes in making these adaptive decisions. I think many would be surprised at the thought process and discussions that occur. It's a no win situation, and you're damned if you do and damned if you don't.
My stocker is at the track and will go home with me tomorrow night, the "real" job demands that I'm at work on Monday, trust me, I'd much rather stay and race!

that's my .02

Unk - In the past twenty years you've been cancelled and rained on -- frozen and roasted -- hit and stalled on -- "past" and stacked -- played the military -- been adaptive and surprized -- put in a no win situation and then dammed ......................................you're demeanor is a perfect example of how a Stock / SuperStock racer should roll with the punches thrown ........too bad about Monday ! ! !


PS -- Been under the weather all week -- 'gotta go take more meds .

PS - 2 - I'm free Monday so .........

Mother Nature is the only one to predict the weather. As they say "Shyt happens".
