Yeah, last weekend we were running it and it was bad enough that they eventually closed it off.

Def not the weather info I saw, on various sites.

I use Accuweather and Weather.com (weather underground), and a couple others.

Only thing possibly negative was a chance of showers (44%) on Friday morning.

I'm keeping the faith and staying positive for good driving weather.

Fingers X-ed!!

Figures, I'm there just for Friday (for the DE) Rain or shine, I'll be out there. This'll be the 4th time in the last 5 weeks I've been there and it's been wet every time.

I'll be out right there with ya. My first time to Mid-O. Maybe a little lead-follow in the first session on Friday?

If it's wet and since it's your first go you'll prolly be better served by just taking an instructor (preferably with local knowledge) out with you.

No more wet, enough is enough.

Quick question (for the wife-and for me):

What is the closest Casino to Bellville or Lexington/Mansfield?

Any info on that? Is Columbus the closest? Anyone know?

I am trying to get the wife to join me at this DE but I need some enticing.

Any help?

Thanks in advance...

Sorry to see that. Mid O in the wet is a skating rink at best.
