The fall WGI event is somewhat undersubscribed I think given the venue and the great fall scenery. Mickey is always there though kee[ing things interesting.

BIG change from this morning's 12Z forecast...actually looking a lot "better"*. Looks like the low down south is breaking up so the whole system is not nearly as channeled. Friday forecast is becoming dry all day, Saturday through noon possibly dry, PM mixed. Saturday overnight rain, Sunday morning possibly dry, Sunday afternoon mixed...

* Relatively speaking. The area could really use some good rains right now...
I give up. The models are changing hourly and don't agree with each other, even just 24 hours out. This is one interesting weather pattern - to those that have interest in it.
It might rain. It might not. Might be cold. Might not. Anyone have any dice?
Anyone know if we can get into the track tonight for tomorrow's test day? If so, will we have to pay the $25/head to do it?
See y'all in the AM!

Greg, I know last year the track did allow people Thursday access.
I would call the track and confirm just to be safe.
See ya tomorrow, rain or shine!

Andy,
I have run LRP Runoffs every year and also WGI fall event every year and I have never run the short course, this year will be my 5th.
Perhaps but rooting for you from the stands during the Pro-IT races gives all of us a fun time.:026:

Oh....wait...isn't the EP record the EP record, whether it's set in a National or Regional or rational race? Not sure I follow how being a Rational has anything to do with it.
(I expect a duh moment to follow, but I'll ask the dumb question anyway!)

Yes, in the first race three new lap records were set: EP, HP, and STU. However, this really wasn't an "optimal" day, with a slick track from rains overnight; my perception is that it has much more to do with the drivers taking their programs up a few notches.
My wife and I bailed after they broke for lunch, but for this forum Eric Heinrich (JS154) won STU and set that lap record, and I won STL (no lap record, which is still held by "Mr. NHMS" Glenn Lawton in this ITS RX-7!) Eric started on pole with Jonathan Leitner next to him, and I was behind Eric in P3. I managed to eek out P1 going into T3 and held that through T9...where I then looped the car in front of the field coming out of T10. While I always "clip" the T10 curbing (aka, Richie Hunter Berm) going through there, this time I grabbed a tad too much asphalt and it sent me spinning off driver's right. Fortunately the field behind me was full of talent and missed an errant spinning Integra, at which point I collected my wits and undies and jumped back into the fray DFL. My "man, is this thing 30 laps?" attitude changed to "man, this thing is 30 laps!" and I was fortunate to eventually reel in my competitors (but not without a fight).
The only other news I'm aware of is that Jeff "Really! I'm not gay!!" Lawton won ITA in his new Miata in a dry and misting but seriously-threatening-rain Group 5, and given the weather we drove through on the way home southbound, I'm wagering Groups 6-8 were a bit moist...
A fun weekend. Great to hang out at the track again. - GA
It was a reference to the race format. real races that count had been run.
speaking of which, to quali races count to set records? I'd thought not.

A qualifying race is a race - lap records can be set in them.speaking of which, to quali races count to set records? I'd thought not.
