I'm thinking about going to the track tomorrow but the forecast is questionable. http://www.weather.com/weather/hourb...ink_undeclared
basically the track opens at about 1pm and it's supposed to stop raining around 5 or 6am that morning.

what do you guys think?

No. If it indeed stops raining in the morning and the track is dry when it's opening time they'll be open, unless they have grass/dirt pit areas that get really muddy when it rains, then they might not open even though the pavement is dry.

I've been at the track and it's rained, they closed the track for half hour, hour, two hours, whatever, and then resumed running. I'd suggest calling them before you leave though to make sure it's open :O

I've been when it rained and ran my worst time ever. It was drizzling for a while then stopped for about an hour and started to pouring down after that so they closed early and gave us a rain check for the next week..

well kind of a disapointing day at the track. It definately isn't as fast as the one in Alabama.
It took me like 5 runs to get the feel of the track and even then I had to baby the throttle in second gear!

14.8 @ 96.xx 2.34 60'

So I shaved half a tenth off of my previous best 60 ft but still ran a slower et. But at least I got to make as many runs as I wanted to.
