I hope u guys have rain tires. Grattan weekend don't look so good so far. I am mad now. Why track days weekend it rain. Why why why.
See post #54. If it's calling for the wet stuff NEXT Thur.-Fri. then start worrying about it. :thumb:
You guys are funny..... the weatherman can't predict what its gonna be like 24 hours from now, much less 8 days......5 weather website have 5 different reports.....don't sweat it.....just show up and ride.....
Grattan umbrella Grattan often seems to have its own micro-climate can be raining all around but somehow misses the track...... doesn't always work that way.. I am like many others still sat on the fence hoping my group does not fill up before they predict 70 and sunny... there's always G'man the weekend after if it does. later
Grattan seems to have its own climate. I have some family that lives close and several times last year they couldn't believe it was warm and sunny when they had thunder storms. Just have to sign up, think sunny thoughts, and ride!
Thanks to wonderful WERA cancelling the National event at Tally this weekend, I think the wife and I will be up there Sunday for a test and tune day on the race bikes. Can't wait to see everyone again!
photos word of warning....I'm coaching AND shooting pictures at this event. So I'm only gonna shoot pictures of ya if you tell me EARLY in the day. i'll make it up by dreaming up some giveaway or something. really looking forward to getting back on the track. current weather: mid 50's and mostly sunny!
Great question! I just assumed they will as they have in the past. We were planning on rolling in Friday evening as well. Will be looking for that answer as well.
Just call the track and ask.....they'll let you know including how late the gate will be open. If not, just park out in the grassy field just off the road and camp out. Done that several times. --- I am here: http://tapatalk.com/map.php?mpifrk
I called Grattan and spoke to Sam, there WILL be someone at the gate until Midnight Friday night to let us into the track.
Cool! Where's the party Friday night? Does anyone know if the track allows portable fire pits in the lower grass paddock area?
bring your long pj's gonna be ccccccold at night, and early in the day. we have honey doo's to take care of at home... see you next time. ski
Usually they have fire pits in the lower paddock. So yes! It will be cold at night so don't take offence if I stay somewhere with real heat cuss my skinny arse isn't built for 30's
Does anyone that is going on Saturday might possible my have a spare suit? My buddy is a size 40, maybe 42. He is still in the process of buying a suit so if anyone has a spare I'm sure he will compensate you. Thanks
Lame! I know your wife would rather be at the track. Do all that other stuff next week. Come on... I bought tire warmers and everything!
I do. It's been...uuuhh "used" a couple of times. I'm chosing not to wear it until I get around to getting it all repaired, which is easy when I have another never crashed suit. It just has a few snags, no blowouts or anything.
