Fe Reunion weather

[cjshaker]

I'll keep a spot reserved Doug if you like.  We are parking in the back row like before.

Since I won't make it to the area till about 11:00pm, I'm assuming the track gates may be closed and I won't be able to drop off the trailer Thursday night like I did last year. That might make it difficult if somebody else shows up. If you can, that'd be great, but if somebody beats me there and wants to park there, don't worry about it. I appreciate the offer either way, Larry.

I'm pretty sure we can make sure there is a spot for you.  It's not like we are in the front row and holding 10 prime spots.  No big deal, been doing this for a 23 years now.

Me and Rory are in New Jersey. Went to Atco for the Tuesday test and tune but they had cancelled it for a poor forecast before we got there. It was dry at 7:30 PM, ground wasn't wet. Oh well.
We will probably tour around tomorrow and half of Thursday before getting to Selinsgrove.

I'm about to officially throw in the towel. Current forecast is 60% chance of rain Friday, 40% chance Saturday. 20 hours on the road with my old rig, and hundreds of dollars, on the off chance I MIGHT get to make a couple passes just isn't going to cut it. Pretty bummed right now unless something changes over the next day and a half.

The local report looks iffy for Friday, but Saturday dropped to 20 % chance for rain, as drier air moves in. High of 63, so not real warm, but jacket weather.

Well since I`m not going to the Beaver I decided to go to the Canfield swapmeet on Saturday. My buddy Moose has several spots and gets me in for free with parking. I called him and he says bring a rain coat as they are calling for rain all three days. This spring has been a real PIA!

The old axiom: "You have to show up and make it rain on you" applies.

Is Sunday a built in rain date or is something else scheduled for Sunday.?

[TomP]

Well is it a 60% chance... or rains 60% of the day or rains 60% as hard as it possibly could all day?

They didn't run at Atco last night because of the forecast yet it was dry the whole time they would have run. Get that a lot at home where Mission cancels the Friday night street legal races because it is raining at noon yet by 5pm when it would start it is warm and sunny and the ground is all dry.

[cjshaker]

I'm doing this for you and Rory, Tom. Because if I don't go it'll be sure to be good weather with no rain

Because of this HUGE moisture front that is being held on the east coast, it is just damp, drizzly, rain, no rain and showers pretty much everywhere. So the chance is that, it might rain, it will rain, then it will stop, then it might start again, then it'll stop, then....you get the idea. Of course it's supposed to be beautiful starting Sunday and all next week, which always seems to be the case. I don't think they will hold until Sunday, but even if they did, I have no choice but to leave Sunday.

I think for next year they ought to try and reserve the Friday/Saturday 3-4 weeks later. Every year it forecasts like this and we can't justify making a long haul. I know doing it on 4/27-4/28 is cool.......but a lot of FE's are in the 500+ cube range now 

[Stangman]

Only 5 1/2 hours for me but I hear what your saying Doug. I’m not even 100 percent I fixed my problem from last year but I can’t not go. I do understand the whole money thing though. Besides how would you go the whole year without seeing your FE buddies

Hi Doug

Just to let you know that we did cancelled our hotel. It seems to me this is a long ways from Menomonee Falls Wi. to go and watch it rain. Hopefully this is a blessing for the other racers that now it wont rain. Any way say hi to Trish from me and Mary and we will see you two next year since drag week is not around by us this year. If you go good luck and all be safe. Later

Dan

The forecast for this weekend changes about every two hours.

[fekbmax]

It's always a gamble,  there's been a 60% chance of rain here all day and so far there hasn't been a drop.
