Thanks Kevin,

Now most importantly what routes from the south are open to get to the track with all the flooding that has happened in VT?

I typically go up 93-89- exit 21 in swanton onto 78 through the Missisquor national refuge right on to route 2 to Rouses Point where we cross. Anyone know if this route is safe?

Thanks

Eric

90% risk of thunderstorms for Friday.
80% chance of rain for Saturday.
Mainly sunny on Sunday.

I89 was closed last week in Richmond Vt. (exit 11) for 2 days but has reopened. I have not heard about any flood damage from Swanton to the Rouses Point area. Most of the flood damage was in central Vt. and around my area. If I come up this weekend I'll go on Rt. 78.

As of now, Thursday is sunny all day, Friday looks like scattered rain, Saturday looks the same. Sunday looks really nice.

We will host the 10K race on the nicest day and come up to a solution which everyone can agree on, should Saturday get rained out. Perhaps combine the purses, run one race(still 2 Grade Points) and pay down further and more money to round winners? Idk, however we will discuss options with NHRA tomorrow once we are at the track. Safe travels to all.


NOTE: If you are unsure of your documents/ID to enter Canada, please call the Canadian Port of entry you will be crossing to speak to them. I know a Passport will work 100%; however I am not familiar with other forms of enhanced ID will, due to Canada not providing its citizens with such ID's. Tnx

The Casey's and the LaBrecque's are planning on arriving later tomorrow. I spent the last 2 weeks in VT 10 miles from the border. The weather man was wrong most of the time and always said it was going to be worse than it ended up being. Let's see what happens

See you there

Yesterday we received beautiful weather and a great day of testing.

Today the rain stopped at 8ish and we were testing at noon for about 3 hours until the rain came in.

Tomorrows weather looks promising and Sunday looks great for racing. The Brunet family has been working tirelessly to provide a great track surface as usual.

Seen lots of familiar faces and met a few new ones today. Hopefully more racers show up tomorrow; however the numbers so far are very positive for our first year back hosting the 10k race.
