    How bad would the weaher have to be? (PPIR)

    Will there a place to find out what going on with the races on Sunday morning? The forcast looks a little better south of Denver.

    Tell you what, you can call me sunday AM to see if we're riding, but we will pretty much ride in anything short of snow.

    If it's major downpour with water pooling on the track we may suspend racing too, but for the most part we ride rain or shine.

    It's still a question if we will ride in the rain at PPIR.

    Donna,

    Didn't realize that it was still in question. I remember rain races there in the past...

    It's a decision up to the track marshal more or less, but like others have pointed out previously -- why not run it in the rain? Been done before, and the track doesn't have wet traction issues that I can remember. Besides, it will add an interesting twist to a weekend where some championships could still swing.

    Race in the Rain! I've been hanging on to these rain tires for two years, and haven't even worn the injection nubs off! Snow...YES, the great pumpkin handles great in the slop.

    Let's get to it again at PPIR! WOOHOO>>>
