Back story - how many peeps have REALLY gotten into it with all nannies off? Yesterday in DRY weather I was going to pull a quick u-turn to get around a line of turning cars...wheel cranked to the left and when I made the turn put just a "LITTLE" bit more throttle in it and BOOM...360 like that and I was shocked how little it took...the above could be a nice driver safety training applicable to many inclement driving scenarios...see ya'll there!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you want the cops called to have you arrested then go ahead and drift all around the lot. Can tell this is your first fest.

No need to be a prude about it....and he didnt say it was the host lot..

A little rain for the parking lot we can deal with, I'm hoping for decent driving weather tomorrow.

Thursday looks like a rainy drive for us. Bring your car covers. Then Friday they may need the track dryer to get some drag racing going. Bring plenty of beer if we get rained out on Friday. Saturday will be loaded with lots of track time but maybe we will get some passes in before eliminations

By way of history, We had some issues & some arrests at a previous fest..............we really don't want a repeat. That's all we are sayin'.

80% thunderstorms on Friday as of right now. Scattered in the evening. Not looking good.

Ace0751 · 07-12-2017, 10:12 AM

I just don't see where they are getting this rain at. I've been watching the fronts both north and south and I don't see any indication of them moving to BG. The north front is moving east and not shifting. The south front is stationary and not making any progress. if the south line start moving northward then I can see rain being an issue. My guess is pop up storms for Friday.

Hopefully we're in the 20% part of the viewing area

I completely agree, I have a very accurate weather map that I use and there is no big storms hitting BG, KY. just some spotty stuff on Friday.

RubyCamaro · 07-12-2017, 10:53 AM

This time of year "pop-up" showers/storms are not so much a function of fronts as just brewing up of humidity in the heat of the day developing hit-or-miss pockets of rain. That is the pattern that is being called for to continue.

Ace0751 · 07-12-2017, 11:19 AM

Unless the air is unstable, there will be no pop showers. It's going to come down to humidity and what the dew point is that will cause the storms to pop up plus where the jet stream shifted to. Still hoping for the best and nothing will flare up, Friday morning looks like a good start of a great day. After that though will be questionable, but when the PP starts we should be dry but muggy.

Great news............Fingers crossed

Detroit Muscle · 07-12-2017, 01:19 PM
