The day after tomorrow....

Made calls the last two days. They aren't replying to my emails either. I may take my own race fuel, but if I hear anything, I'll let you know.

We should make sure they are open since they got some serious snow up north

I would guess for a re-schedule. I know at least at tracks around here, if the temps fall below a certain level, they won't open. Couple low temp on race day with the weather we have been getting the last few days, and it doesn't look good

I'm checking..., but if the track is going to be open, we should go on with the program.

It looks dubious at this time. Roads in OK city are "slick and hazardous" Projected high today is 33-deg and 36-deg tomorrow and Sunday. So likelyhood of roads clearing is slim.
That being said, if the track is open, and TFC goes on, I will be there.

Have left messages on track office phone, cell phone, and sent email. Recording says they will be running this weekend November 26th so the recording has not been updated. I would expect the track to be closed, but would be nice to have confirmation.

Or we can make the choice to reschedule for the 10th right now if that makes sense to everyone (it does to me). What say ye?

I would rather reschedule and be sure it will be open. It would suck to drive all the way up there and then find out they're closed.

Thanks for doing all the legwork for the club Dennis

I say we reschedule

there will be too little traction and too many cold weather tune problems to race in 37 degree weather

Since I was not going to make it, I have been hesitant to throw in here, but alas......I am opinionated as hell....so here goes.

With the temps being so low....below 30....it is going to make for problems in 3 ways. 1) Tunes on trucks better be right, or Terry will need a car hauler from hell to get all the blown trucks back to town. 2) Cold temps like that may make the track very slick and getting it warmed up is going to be next to impossible. 3) Somebody better have a big ass heater to keep everyone warm or the ability to sit outside and socialize is nonexistant. I suppose everyone can talk to each other on the walkie talkies from their trucks....while they run them to keep the heat working.

Rescheduled for December 10
(due to weather conditions)


Please help get the word out.
Same everything just a week later...

Just talked with Marsha at Thunder Valley. The track may or may not be opened based on expected temperatures so I think we have done the only thing that we could do by delaying the event until the 10th. December 10, is the last scheduled day the track will be open this year, but even if the track is open this Sunday, everyone will be freezing their collective a$$es off because we more than likely will have a breeze which translates in to wind chill issues. If you believe in extended forecasts (who the H3LL does in TX/OK?), we should be OK.

Cool....thanks Dennis.

It should be a balmy 80* on Sun if the recent weather paterns are any indication.

Thanks for all the work you have done for the event dennis. Has been put on the calender as a re-schedule . Guess I was right about it being re-scheduled for next sunday. That is the night of the X-mas party at work . I am not going to miss TFC for work party.
