Where is the "drought" the weathermen keep complaining about?  We get 2 or 3 nice days during the week, then it rains all freakin weekend. Or it rains friday night-saturday morning, but rains hard enough no one can go racing.  Last week we got over an inch and a half of rain friday night and that cancelled all racing for saturday. Today, its raining like mad right now, and there's no way anything will dry enough today so we can go. What makes this so frustrating is we finally recieved our 36' gooseneck trailer so we can take both cars to the track, and we haven't moved it since we brought it home. And next weekend is supposed to be the start of our points program and I was really hoping to have at least one trip to the track under our belt with the new trailer first.

Let Momma Nature do her thing...Better days is ahead I'm sure.
My complaint is being stationed/living 100plus miles from the the nearest track. I've been thinking about renting a truck and uhaul trailer to get car to/from track just in case I broke. goodluck

If we were looking at that mess down here, the whole state would be shut down.

I hear you Kid, here they wont even send out the plows for this. We need a couple Feet of snow or Zero Visibility for schools to even be closed. But I guess when you live in the Snow Belt you get used to it BUT it really gets depressing after a while.
