baytown mud fest

Just looked at weather underground. Only one I trust. It says 10% Fri 40% sat and 60% sun. So maybe they will try to complete race sat. My car and engine are in pieces so I'll just be watching. So if it rains I won't have to be pulled out like last year.

Ed, that is what my phone shows. I was told a local TV station there says 60% Saturday & 70% Sunday.

Bill's sister lives about 15 minutes from the track and she says it has been raining there for 2 days and forecast for Sunday is rain.

One told me it was 33 & raining all day today. I don't want a wrecker or winch truck pulling my motor home out of the mud either.

The weather looks too bad. This race should be rescheduled. It would be different if the entire pit area was paved. The pit area will look like a swamp.

John, I don't want to get anybody in trouble, but people we both know from Houston have contacted our div director about rescheduling it. They said he won't hear of it. Me isn't buying diesel, is he? LOL

I got my pre-entry stuff in the mail today. Wasting that is cheaper than buying fuel to get there for nothing.

Local TV forecasts are now showing clear Friday, 20-30 percent Saturday, 40-60 percent Sunday.

It will take us a single tank of diesel to get there. That's not the problem. Getting stuck I. The mud is the real problem! This race should have been cancelled and a make up date posted. We will make a decision to go or to sit this race out on Thursday morning. Good luck to everyone attending this event.
