Default New Hampshire in the Spring???

Two weeks ago we had our first event of the year at NHMS. We lucked out weather wise in that is was dry all three days and the temperatures got into the 50s and might have touch 60 on the sunday. The picture below is taken TODAY at my house which is about 15 miles from the track.

I was snowed out of our first event here in Colorado this weekend. Winter storm warnings are up, my driveway still has an 8 ft snow bank next to it and even though the ski area has closed for the season, they are reporting a record snow depth on top - 160". Maybe I should take up kayaking because this runoff is going to be something! Ready for summer........but would settle for even a little spring. Best,

I was up north in the Tuftonboro region on route 16 as the snow fell. It is amazing how quickly people "forget" how to drive in the snow. I was watching people slip and slide all around 16, in one case wondering if I was going to get hit head on by some fool. Most of the accidents were from people driving from the south where it was raining. Drove into the snow and did not adjust their driving habits.

We were very lucky with the weather at NHMS. There is an open track day this coming Saturday. I am hoping for similar weather.

I was there for work (iRacing). NHMS holds an open house in the spring for ticket holders and brings in partners and vendors for the day. We brought the demo trailer. Did a bunch of laps on the road course in the Williams F1 car!

I actually saw a 36' RV doing laps on the oval with snow coming down - that is NASCAR fans for you!
