Anyone have experience on how CCS handles race weekends that coincide with tropical storms and/or hurricanes?

Last Sept. Jennings race was cancelled because of all the hurricanes. Henry would make that call.

i understand teh FRIDAY trackday is canceled but the CCS saturday practice is a go for now as is race on sunday. If sat. is a "washout" i was told Henry is refunding $75 sat practice fees but sunday should be a nice day..

Hey -- I was just checking to see if I need to run a lower tire pressure in winds over 60 mph.

Thats the damn truth.

What was worse? The snow during practice at RA this year, or the 19 degree practice at Gateway back in March of 02?

Or the plowing the track in april 2001 on saturday after getting 6" of snow friday. Ever watch a motorcycle road race when theres no grass but only snow if you go off track? ;D

I moved from Michigan years ago to get away from the cold. It is easier to deal with Roebling Road in July and some wind and rain then snow.

     I crashed at Blackhawk in '97 while passing for the lead in the left hand kink before the carousel. The only reason I crashed was because I got run off the track and there was 4" of snow covering the grass, for some reason 80+ mph in the snow on a motorcycle doesn't work so well when you hit a dip in the ground! ;D

I think they have to pump out excess water at Moroso. Missed 2 races last year due to devistating Hurricanes, 1 at Jennings, 1 at Moroso.
Good luck to all Florida Racers this weekend.
Fastest Region in the Nation.

Was 2000.  

I remember driving down I-43 Saturday AM to Blackhawk.  All my stuff was there from my school on Thursday when it was nice...about 60.

I don't like rain.  but I didn't have that bad gut feeling about snow.  Just didn't seem possible that we'd race.  We did.

Henry is unable to access the forum. He ask that we pass this information.

Due to the flooding in South Florida the officals and riders are have a difficult time getting to the race track. This resulting in cancellation of Friday and Saturday events.

Moroso will be a regular schedule Sunday Race.
Practice starting at 9am

 The Moroso track is fine.

Moroso has cancelled the drag racing for Saturday and Sunday night. As long as someone from the track is there it should be know problem call first. The gates will open at 7am Sunday morning.
