My packet arrived at the house today. I'll be home tomorrow to check it out

I'm hoping that the weather channel misses it like they usually do. Right now they're predicting rain all weekend. Fingers crossed.

[hemigeno]

At the moment, they're calling for a 40% chance on Sat and 10% on Sunday.  Low 80s for a high.  Like you mentioned though, they can be pretty far off on those long-range predictions.

I am guessing we are going to get the remnants of the storm hitting Texas now.    Hope that mess gets on out of the way!

[nvrbdn]

last night they said rain wed, thurs, and fri morn. so if it stays its sounding better.course thats local and not weather channel.

[hotrod98]

We're watching the weather. It's sort of expensive for us to come up there and not be able to enjoy the show. Even though we're bringing the bird, this year we're primarily interested in the the drag racing. Even a little rain will put a quick end to any drag racing action.
We need the chance of rain to be about 30% or less both days to make the trip.

I hope the mess we have gone through in North Texas doesn't make it to St Louis... Arlington has been having significant flooding.  I believe I heard the rainfall amount was about 12 inches so far...

Monster Mopar seems to draw rain, but its usually not severe weather.

Good luck everyone!

the weather on the news tonight was buckets of rain thurs and night, ending friday morning. the map showed around 5;30am, but prob a little later in the morning on fri. slight chance of a stray shower friday slight chance of a small shower on sat. clear sat afternoon and all day sun. thats dave murry channel 2 st.louis. so im bettin on a nice weekend.

I wonder if he noticed that the remnants of the hurricane just changed directions and is heading for SL. It's drowning everyone from Dallas to NW Arkansas right now. It's been raining here for the last two days and is supposed to continue. Dallas was just hit with a couple of tornadoes and we're (NW Arkansas) under a tornado watch here for tonight and tomorrow. Here in the south we have four seasons...cold, wet, hot and wet again.
I never did get my new windshield properly sealed in the bird. It took two weeks to get the car dry again after the two rainstorms I went through in Branson in June.
This has been the worst year ever for carshows for me and I didn't need that. Even the local carshow was rained out in April. My first show with the new bird was a total wash.

I was at the track around 10am this morning, to officially stake out / reserve our parking spaces.  We'll have the same semi-circle arrangement that has worked well the past couple of years.  There was already a 200' arc with red flags to show the area we're in, and that will represent the back end of the cars - unless we get too many and have to rearrange things (that'd be a good problem).

The DC.com tent will be just to the outside of the circle, and Rich's tent for our special guest (Ramo) and Doug's #7 car is on the opposite side - closer to the main Registration Tent.

Also - track laps will be at 3:30pm on Saturday, and 11am on Sunday.  We'll need to line the cars up about 1/2 hour before each session, with the line beginning at the registration tent like usual.  I'll have an instruction sheet to hand out at the show for everybody as in past years as well.

I hope the rain doesn't affect the track laps

If it is raining, or the track is visibly wet, we will not be able to do the laps.  That's not anything the MMW guys have control over, unfortunately.

Thanks for all your hard work Gene.  The Charger looked great!

[hemigeno]

There were lots of other people who put in just as much time/effort to help out as I did - it's a team effort, with the ultimate goal for people to come out, have a great time, and leave with a smile on their face looking forward to next year.  Hope we achieved the goal...

[hotrod98]

Geno..you da man. 
I appreciate you and everyone else helping me with Sandra. She had a great time. Especally the laps around the track. She was smiling all of the way. She kept asking me if we could go faster.

[41husk]

Glad to see you and Sandra made it home safe.  It was great seeing the Daytona and black Ice bird side by side.  I was worried for a bit I might not get it off the hauler.  I got several pics of them together

Sandra and I had a blast. I enjoy seeing her happy. I keep worrying that each show will be the last one that she will be able to attend and unfortunately it's looking more and more like that will be the case soon. We're both glad that she was able to enjoy the bird this year. One things for sure, she hasn't forgotten the laps around the track. She smiles every time I mention it.
I hope everyone had a safe journey home.
