I'll probably be there as long as its not raining. I haven't ran my car since it was stock, so I'm wondering what it will do with the little mods I do have.

Hope to see some Subys there!

STiPete · « **Reply #12 on:** May 16, 2006, 11:23:30 PM »

I thought you had to be in the 12's for them to require a helmet and 11.5 and under for them to require a cage..

beat22 · « **Reply #13 on:** May 16, 2006, 11:47:22 PM »

13.99 for helmet

Nah, I meant the Saturday after WBM, so that would be the 27th

scoobyblu · « **Reply #20 on:** May 17, 2006, 08:26:05 PM »

Well I went all the way down there for nothing tonight and I even called 3 times to make sure they were runing.
But I guess at the last minute they canceled.....not cool.

beat22 · « **Reply #21 on:** May 17, 2006, 09:18:46 PM »

ionic and i had already paid and were staged....then the rain came...and canceled....see you next next week

i0nic · « **Reply #22 on:** May 17, 2006, 10:16:17 PM »

yea that sucked. the b*** of it is that the rain lasted MAYBE 20 minutes, and then it stopped ofr the most part. guess the track was oto soaked to run though. oh well.. good thing these are every week.

beat22 · « **Reply #23 on:** May 17, 2006, 10:42:39 PM »

ionic...did u see that cosworth trying to loose me on the way back....lol

Just so you know, the problem with LVD and the rain is two fold.

They don't have the proper equipment to dry it, and they are EXTREMELY worried about rain that collects in the crevices of the cars, then drips on the starting line. It can create a VERY dangerous situation at the line (I saw several cars come WAY closer than comfort with the wall last year at Musclepalooza before they canceled the racing due to rain).

Sucks that you guys went down and didn't really get any runs in.
