3.11.06 Weather Update

Boy, how mother nature changes her mind, just last week the weather was predicted to be nice and in the 60's... Now according to www.weather.com, LACR website, and a lady at the Holiday Inn (approx. 15 minutes from the track) it has been raining there the last few days and per their local weather people it is forecasted to rain on Saturday.

The good news is at least we won't make a 5-6 hour drive to learn the race was cancelled due to rain, the bad news is... We won't get to race again until 3.26.06. Although, for all intensive purposes my check book could take the breather!

3.5.06 Race Postponed/Cancelled

According to www.weather.com, Sunday calls for an 80% chance of rain with highs in the mid-50's. Looks like we will not get to race the NHRA Chassisworks ET Racing Series until 3.26.06. Hopefully by then our rain will pass and we will have some nice weather to play in.

However, on the bright side... I have my first NMRA race scheduled for 3.11.06 at LACR (Los Angeles County Raceway) located in Palmdale, CA. Weather.com is calling for 0% percipitation and a high of 61 with bright sunny skies! Hooray!

Now for those of you who have never raced LACR, believe me when I tell you it is adjacent from a sand quarry (literally). So when winds hit just right, the sand blows right down the track. You can stand at the water box and watch the sand blow across the track. We have come to know this track as the "sand box"... It has it's obvious negatives, especially when your talking about hitting 130+ mph on two wheels. Most times the track is windy and hot, so your bikes sucks in all sorts of guck and your wind/sun burned by the time you get home.

Aaaaaaa, the pleasures of racing! I can't wait...
