Typical Road A weather

[K3 Chris Onwiler]

Suddenly, I feel less unhappy about staying home.  I've been there and done that for too many Road A weekends.  The worst part is that this has been the nicest spring I can remember.  Maybe it's just a CCS at RA thing.....

Friday: Occasional showers, with increasing winds by the afternoon. High 48F. Winds NNE at 20 to 30 mph. Chance of rain 60%.
Friday night: Periods of rain and snow showers this evening tapering to snow showers overnight. Windy. Low around 30F. Winds N at 20 to 30 mph. Chance of precip 60%. A slushy accumulation less than one inch.
Saturday: Windy with a few clouds from time to time. High 46F. Winds N at 25 to 35 mph.
Saturday night: Clear to partly cloudy skies. Low 29F. Winds NNW at 10 to 20 mph.
Sunday (24 hours): More clouds than sun. Highs in the upper 40s and lows in the mid 30s.

i'm still going to head out there in an hour or so. good weather to drink alot of beer in, since i've never been there and am only wrenching/hanging out.  ;D

I'm so glad I didn't pre register.

Nothing like cold tires, wet pavement, tar sealer, wet leathers, wet helmet, wet feet and 30 mph winds.
that sounds like a ride in the ambulance if I've ever heard of one

Now if I was getting paid to race, it would be a different story, nice big 750 thousand dollar race rig to stay warm in, dry bike, but I have to work Monday morning.

Im with ya K3 ,  I was bummed about not going till i saw the weather today.


On another note,  i just ate lunch downtown.  Theres StarWars Celebration III going on this weekend.  Theres an estimated 30,000 fan(atic)s walking around.   A bunch of them are all dressed up as storm troopers, darth vader, jedi, all kinds of stuff.

Glad i'm not racing there this weekend, never really understood why ccs races at RA in early spring. Hell, its still winter up there.  :-/ Hopefully its all sunshine and 70's at summit next weekend. 8)

Whoa!  You know who must have had access to the long-range forecast. ::)

I'll bet that's why he decided not to go or turned around during the trip out there  :-X ;)

I'll bet that a girl derssed up (at least to start with) as Princess Lia could make a huge stack of dollar bills at Rio this weekend! ;)

The problem is that Road America is incredibly expensive to rent.  They get a better deal in April than they would in June, July, or August.  From what I've heard, even with twin sprints, FUSA, and race fees as high as Daytona, it's still tough for CCS to make a profit for that weekend.
They gave up on the summer race at Road A.  I was told that a big part of the problem was the track's unwillingness to split the gate with CCS.  We were pulling a bunch of spectators, but without a share of the gate, CCS couldn't pay the track rent and still break even.  Sad, really.  I guess this is the only way that CCS can offer us the opportunity to race there.

Just think those are the people who used to get beat up for lunch money in school. ;D

God I hate Star Warts. ;D ;D ;D

Well, the weather didn't suck as bad as it was supposed to. All the rain stayed to the south. There were a few sprinkles that landed in the GT lights race, but other than that it was mostly chilly.

It's supposed to be crappy tomorrow. We'll see. Maybe the racing gods aren't as angry this year. Not co-operating exactly, but letting up just a little... ;)
