Noble weather

I've only been there once but I'd venture a wild guess and predict that the wind may blow at some time during the weekend. (Probably a headwind.)

Like I said, I was only there once, over ten years ago. It may have been my imagination but I don't remember it stopping throughout that weekend.

Just checked the Weather Channel again. Still says the same thing. Local TV weather forecast last night was about the same. Chuck, the wind always blows around here. I thought we had all the wind until I ran the points race at Great Bend KS early this year. Wow!

Weather men don't have a great track record in Oklahoma. Wasn't supposed to rain during the Tulsa points race. They missed that one too.

Ed,
I put as much belief in the Weather Channel as I do, well never mind..... :-)

I prefer to monitor weatherunderground.com, seems like over the years they've hit it more consistently than TWC.

That being said, do you realize that this years event will be the 20th LODRS event @ Thunder Valley Raveway Park? 20 years.....
And in the previous 19 we've had LOTS of sunshine, some SNOW, rain of course and even some hail. Believe I remember watching a tornadic front blow through one year as well......
And like Mr. Norton said, wind,...... cross, head & tail, sometimes all 3 in the same weekend!
I've been to the previous 19, and will be there announcing the 20th as well.
No race car though, it's gone, I've retired.

And most unfortunately, no Lynn, for he's gone too.... but I know he'll be there in spirit!

Looking forward to seeing everyone for the 20th, planning on having some fun next weekend, hope you all are too!

Unk

Unk, "same weekend!" Hell, I think something that uncomplicated could be expected in the same RUN!

Sorry to hear you've retired the car. Hope you had a good time with it?

Chuck, it probably has at some point in the last 19 years...... :-)

Just not enough time with my schedule to try to keep up with a race car. Of course I had a GREAT time with it, but it's the people in the sport that make it memorable.....

Unk
