i’m still at work. wednesday’s rain did not hurt the track. not sure about thursdays rain, i will check as soon as i get home. judging by my yard this morning, i doubt it hurt us though. If anything, the rain has kept the dust at bay. any questions or concerns, feel free to ask here, send me a private message, or call me at 724 396 1169. Last thing i want is someone to drive and the event be rained out. So feel free to call me whenever if you are not sure. If you sent me your number, i added you to the text message group and will notify you of updates. if you want on that group–send me a text with your name and ill add you. sailor ---

I’ll back Sailor on that. It’s not that fun watching cars get stuck on the flat when its that wet. Wet + gravel roads = fun. Wet + clay = stuck cars, lots of money wasted at the car wash and slow times. ---

It was a test, but it was so muddy that we just slide the cars around for awhile and then bbq’d. We’re going to do it again when it’s dry. I did learn new ways of cleaning mud off the car and how to get tow rigs with trailers unstuck (I’m glad I have 4wd). We were supposed to run on the roads that surround the rally cross section, but most were un-drivable so we stuck to two test loops. ![http://i597.photobucket.com/albums/tt51/dirty_90/IMG_7454.jpg](http://i597.photobucket.com/albums/tt51/dirty_90/IMG_7454.jpg) ---

Come and help set up if you plan on coming out. Two of the guys that normally help set up aren’t going to be there, so we will need a hand to get it done on time. ---

everything went well. had the lower section and the first uphill section. time trials went smothly. had 8 runs in pretty quickly. then it was a test and tune until you got bored. all said and done, you could have ended up w/ a lot fo seat time. turnout wise, was ok. considering the weekend being a holiday weekend, was good. decent amount of spectators and new racers too. ---

One of my runs from the event. [http://www.vimeo.com/4122191](http://www.vimeo.com/4122191) and two laps of Sailor - [http://www.vimeo.com/4124328](http://www.vimeo.com/4124328) - Turn your speakers down. The sound pops and cracks which is kind of annoying. J. ---

sailor has a subie now or he was driving someone elses? im gonna make it to the next event!!! i was wondering if its still possible to use the front extended section around the light pole(where the evo keapt destroying its front bumper at the last event in 08) If so i have a pretty good idea for the track which if run in 2X will cut out back tracking(except running it twice), make it fresh for all of that have been there a bunch of times, and still be long enough.
