We will see you all there for crawfish and shrimp (and a little racing)!

We've sat in the rain for 4 days and wondered if we should have stayed home...but really regreted not going when the forecast was wrong and we missed the fun.

We are leaving Tuesday from Illinois. When you travel a long way vacation time and a lot of planning enter in to it all. We have been to the Gators where they scrub class and push us around as sportsman for any delay at the Cajuns, the schedule is more flexible and there is not a pro show to bump us. Plus the friends, food and fun are all there.

I am on vacation. I don't care if we end up racing air boats across the bayou in the rain. We are going!

See you there! Jim

They are going to have TopFuel Harleys and Top Sportsman & Top Dragsters.
This is going to make things tight in scheduling + rain.......
I think with the weather forecast I'm going to stay home....:-(

There are not many of any of these cars/bikes. Sure, there can be delays, but that won't be the issue.
Bottom line, most that want to go end up going.

Troy, there is a huge difference between your 1 hour drive and my 14 hour drive when there is current rain outlook of:

Wed. 80%
Thurs. 20%
Fri. 50%
Sat. 90%
Sun. 60%

I have been there and done that before but I can't afford to gamble on odds that are that bad in these days and times. I'm afraid of no car in class so that doesn't even enter into the deal. LA is a lot like FL when they say you have 50% or better chance of rain, you better bring a rain coat. I have been to the Cajuns 4 times and had a great time each and every time but I'm afraid I'm gunna have to pass this time. Thanks for all the comments and I hope those who do attend have a great time and may the sun shine on each and every one of you! Jim
