I told you - accuweather.com has a pretty good 15 day forecasting system.

I'll be there.  That's my home town.

My personal forecast calls for a decent Friday and Saturday, with a chance of rain on Sunday.  ;D

Looking at the national radar and satellite, there is almost no precipitation West of the system that is currently overhead.  There is a chance of T-Stoms developing with the jet stream headed North and low pressure arriving...but typically these translate into later afternoon or evening storms.  ;)

Besides, with the various weather sites saying chance of rain being 30%-50%-50% for the 3 days, my forecast is just as accurate!   ;)

I'd prefer a decent Friday, Saturday morning, and Sunday.  I'll sacrifice you guys with Saturday afternoon races to the rain gods.   ;D

sigh...  I will not be there  :'(

The bike is starting to look like a bike again, I got everything back and in except I'm still waiting for the rear brake lever from Woodcraft which should be here today.

I've got the white & black portions of the bodywork painted, the red goes on tonight.

Penske went in last night, rebuilt forks went on, subframe back on, clipons on too.

Much progress made, but much more to go...  It looks like my first outing will be at BHF next Thurs for the LCPS Track Day...

Ike, go rent the movie Kingpin.  Watch how Woody Harrelson pays his rent.  A brutha as handsome as you should have NOOOO problem financing a few race weekends that way, and the jail time for such an offence is measured in days instead of years... :-*

tease me...

Well, if I don't get out this next Thurs for whatever reason, I think I'll go to BIR for the CRA weekend next weekend...

And it's not that it's a "honda" or even really that it's new (well, that is a good bit of it), but moreover it's the time...  Prepping takes a damned good bit of time, and I'm so friggin busy with work and other stuff that I run out of it...

By the way, I'm sitting here Friday morning getting ready to go, and all the forecast channels say Rain today, then NONE Saturday and Sunday :)  What was that about Accuweather advance forecasts?
Title: Re: Wet Gateway ???
Post by: Super Dave on June 13, 2003, 06:22:41 AM
I think it's accurate enough for me.  I'm heading down tonight.

Bowling...
Requires large balls and you still have to change your shoes.

     As of right now the weather forecast is saying no chance of rain on Sunday (in St. Louis) and a high of 81*. Sounds like the rain isn't going to be a factor anymore. I wasn't too thrilled about racing at Gateway in the rain anyways, way too much concrete padding on the walls around that place. ;)
