so the weather forecast is getting worse each day now it says 50% fri/40% sat/50% Sunday rain.

i think its getting to the point of bail out.
8+ hour drive for me from nj.

so whose still going and who's not.

rite now I'm on the fence

 

Im planning on going but its only 4 hours for me. I wont run in the rain. VIR can be weird in terms of weather. Ive seen heavy forecast never rain. It is a bummer to have such a forecast for such a great weekend..... Im going.

 

I will be there. 2 1/2 hours form Charlotte.

TRJ is right. Weather shifts a lot. Last September at the Potomac 3 day event, it rained hard Friday morning, then broke around 11:30 and the track was very drivable at 1 PM and the rest of the weekend.

I was at CMP 2 weeks ago and the rain was constant all day Saturday and Sunday. Fun to drive in for several sessions Saturday, but I loaded up up Sunday morning at 10 AM after looking at the weather maps.

My student had a C4S, which was perfect for the conditons.

8 hours is a long haul, but you never know.

 

a little over 4hrs for me and i think im still going. i would hate to have that feeling off not going, then it doesnt rain at all or atleast during track time. it can rain all i night for all i care. it did rain for a little bit last year if you guys remember. i didnt run one session but with 3 days of track time i didnt feel like i missed anything

 

i'll see you there Tom and i dont think it can be any worse than CMP 2 weeks ago

 

Agree 100%. CMP was wet!

See you there.

 

C'mon you guys! I'm towing 14 hours to be there and I don't even have a roof on the car!

If it rains 100% of the time all weekend, I'm sure I'll skip a couple of sessions, but I'll still get a bunch of laps in.

I'll be there. Don't really have any wet weather tires so not sure how much driving I'll be doing. But, as said above, VIR is weird where weather is concerned.

Yeah, all I have is hoosier R6..... Anyone run those in the rain?

 

we'll get out the cutting tools and we'll learn how to grove our own.

but i hope it doesn't rain that much.

anything elce to do in danville area casinos,titty bars w/California girls

 

Oh come on. You're not going to put any faith that the weatherman is going to be right do you? If those weather models are so accurate, then how come they change the forecast everyday?

I'm driving 8 hours and I don't care if it rains. I'm actually looking forward to it. The part I don't like is the temperature. I'd rather have it in the 60's, but what can you do?

 

I'll be up there at some point. If it does rain I'll see if I can do a late entry and run the wife's car. Rain = Fun and good learning opportunity

 

Absolutely,

A great track to run slicks on in the rain. You will learn alot. T1 is really bad just past the apex and be careful in T10. Pretty safe everywhere else.

 

I'm going. Have to go slower in the rain, but it is great practice and it is a DE afterall. My R888's should be great for anything short of a down pour. If it puddles too much the track will be closed anyway.

 

the R6's will have to stay in the truck til it clears up. i have sport cups but they're not that great in the rain either. all in all, we will still have a great time.............i hope!
