Why aren't they racing now?? I don't care if we have fireworks or festivities.. Let's get racin'!

[glock rocks]

I’ll include that in the ping post in a while. Thanks Norm.

[Pete-R-Bilt]

so if it gets rained out and the TS is moving at 4mph it’ll be gone by Thursday will the high score be 18?

or the race made up on Thanksgiving weekend...

[MtnClimber]

No rain here in the Colorado Rockies, but it got down to 33F last night.

[SouthTexas]

Because the drags are on right now and a gurl has the top spot in funny cars! ;)

[SouthTexas]

We have wind out of the north right now. It is a bit cooler, think our high today will only get into the mid 90s.

[MtnClimber]

Well, it may rain in Hotlanta, but I will still be grillin’ and the beer will still be chillin’.

[glock rocks]

Yah, the doppler up above sure got colorful since last night. Got down to low 50’s here last night. Beautiful sunny day today. We’ll be grillin later... regardless.

[NormsRevenge]

Tough call. re-sched? but when.. we might get a few laps in or more, ya never know..

[SouthTexas]

All you have to do is put the beer outside!

OK, that’s all we have to do with the meat too, roll it in foil and throw it on the sidewalk.

[MtnClimber]

Where’s TorkBlender?

[SouthTexas]

Church prolly, they don’t start as early as the rest of the country.

[MtnClimber]

Indy Cars at Baltimore on right now on Versus. Looks to be a road course right on the harbor.

[MtnClimber]

Prolly where he is. He sure needs it!

[SouthTexas]

Prolly praying for the rest of us heathens.

Off to the store.

Raceday Update From Atlanta Motor Speedway President and GM Ed Clark
Sunday, September 4, 2011

http://www.atlantamotorspeedway.com/media/news/596023.html

Race fans, we are all excited to host you today at Atlanta Motor Speedway for the AdvoCare 500.

I just stepped out of a meeting with the National Weather Service and wanted to give you all an update. Our contact there has told us we will have some light rain today, but the heavy rains should stay to the west of us.

The pre-race festivities have been moved up a bit in order to have the green flag fly promptly at 7:30 p.m. It appears we have a good opportunity to get the race in tonight and our track services staff will do everything possible to maximize that opportunity. So come out, enjoy the cooler temperatures and light breeze while you take in all the sponsor displays and activity all around the track.

...the heavy rains should stay to the west of us.

Wishful thinking. That's not what the radar looks like now.

[SouthTexas]

The north wind you sent is not cool, 105 in the shade right now.

[happydogx2]

(Church) doesn’t start as early??

We’ve got 8:00am services.....
