With all the financial & ownership turmoil earlier this year that led to the cancellation of the May race, I supposed these guys are fortunate to have a 2013 divisional, period. However, I suspect we'll see a disappointing car count all 100% due to the summer heat. Besides the human body, its just tough on everything and takes all the fun out of going.

Good Luck to you folks who decide to "tough it out"! Maybe a cool front will sneak in and give you some relief.

Wonder which forecast to believe? Weather channel said, forcSunday, 98 deg. Weather underground said 106?

Either way hot. My wife said your not going are you? I said yes she said your dumb for going! This dummy is going. LOL

I only live 20 minutes away, and I believe I am going to pass on this one. Texas heat can be brutal this time of year.

Heck, Ed, we have race cars. Have to admit, we ain't just real bright.

We're only an hour away and this was going to be our first class race but we won't make it. We've been busting our butt this summer to get the car together but the new rear wheels aren't clearing. Going to have to order new spindles. To be honest, I'm not as disappointed as I thought I'd be because I'm not interested in sitting in the sun for 3 days. Going to be a cooker!

Hey Gals & Guys,

I will be there unless some critical emergency arises that prevents me from attending! This track has had it's challenges scheduling this event, but the track officials and IHRA personnel will be there from start to finish. The starting line crew will be in the elements all day for your racing pleasure. Our support is vital to our sport and a tracks survival. This facility is first class.. and we cannot let it slip thru our fingers. If one day we do not have a place to race all we have to do is look in the mirror and we will know whose fault it was or wasn't. We did not fall in love with an indoor sport with a controlled environment.

Hope to see you there.
PETE
