Title: BFR Forecast
Post by: spyderchick on September 21, 2006, 11:41:20 AM
Rain (http://www.weather.com/weather/weekend/USIL1102?from=36hr_topnav_undeclared) for Friday, maybe storms for Saturday, and possible rain on Sunday. Let's hope it's nice for Saturday at least.

Let it rain.

Not that I enjoy racing in the rain...I really don't. It's just that I don't hate it as much as some people I know...

Dude, I don't order the weather, just reporting the facts. :err: Ed's anti-rain dance may still be successful. (Just don't look while he's doing it, it's kind of creepy)  :ahhh: :biggrin:

I'm all ready to go. I converted my street SV to race trim. Put my rain tires on that and I kept the normal race bike with DOT's on it. No worries about swapping wheels, just jump on the other bike.

If its Thunder and Lightning does CCS still run races?

What kind of weather would have to occur to stop a race? Just curious.

Just lightning will stop the race if it's too close, or a downpour could put a damper on it too.  :biggrin:

::) I don't think they're afraid of a downpour. remember last year? I couldn't see three feet in front of my bike it was raining so hard. The track was a freaking lake, it was crazy!

Thanks to Mike at Scooterphoto.com for the pic from July at Gingerman.

Let me tell you that the pic is tame compared to what we saw coming down the back straight into a huge light show by mid race. Race 2 took the biggest hit though when the skys opened up.
