Truck99 Posted April 26, 2004 Report Share Posted April 26, 2004 It way too early to start listening to those circus clowns who call themselves Meteorologists! And Shawn, that 's enough rain dancing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abrungot Posted April 26, 2004 Report Share Posted April 26, 2004 Shawn... What was your specific rain dance*(Rain every Saturday till i get back in my car?).. Maybe you should bring the drum back out and do a anti-rain dance.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebelracewriter Posted April 27, 2004 Report Share Posted April 27, 2004 TTR73, Lets hope you're getting your info from Kathy's weather forecaster. Weathermen and politicians.....The two professions that get paid large salaries to lie to us, then expect us to believe the next thing out of their mouth!

Kathy Posted April 27, 2004 Report Share Posted April 27, 2004 Hey now Reb, I said it was going to stop rainning in time to race. And it did. LOL Now, we did get a brief shower about 3:00 at the track, but it only lasted about 15 minutes and it was by no means a down poor. But, Brian had already called the races. So, I was right this week. LOL Unfortunately, they are calling for rain again, but hey it's only Monday. That forcast is gonna change at least 5 times before Saturday gets here. And sometimes I think I do a better job at forcasting than the guys that get paid for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NickHolt Posted April 27, 2004 Report Share Posted April 27, 2004 I have become less trustful of the NWS forcasts after last week's fiasco. Remember they predicted a 70% chance of heavy thunder storms for the San Marcos area for Saturday afternoon and 50% chance for the same in the evening.. Yeah, right. All we got was a light 3:00 p.m. shower and we could have raced at THR as long as no one got into the infield.. LOL Anyway, here is what the NWS is saying about this coming weekend. "NEXT WAVE OF RAIN MAKING ENERGY BEGINS TO AFFECT SOUTH CENTRAL TX LATE FRIDAY AND FRIDAY NIGHT. FORECASTS CONTINUE TO SHOW COOL FRONT COMING ACROSS S CNTRL TX FROM THE N AND NW LATE FRIDAY AND FRIDAY NIGHT. THE SATURDAY WEATHER PATTERN FOR MAY 1ST LOOKS LIKE DECREASING CLOUDS/CLEARING AS STRONG UPPER LEVEL TROF FOR MAY 1ST TIME FRAME SWEEPS ACROSS THE AREA..." At this point, looks good for Saturday racing at THR! Nick Holt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abrungot Posted April 28, 2004 Report Share Posted April 28, 2004 Hey This Just In.. KXAN says that fri night early sat chances but clearing late morning.... ...

Truck99 Posted April 29, 2004 Report Share Posted April 29, 2004 Looks like the forecast has started to change...and not for the better. Let's start doing our anti-rain dances now! cs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racerjim2 Posted April 29, 2004 Report Share Posted April 29, 2004 (In the best DW inpression you can muster up)well guys we have to do that old Darrell Waltrip cyclone thing wher the cars get going and the heat that is produced will drive the rain from the area.LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RodneyRodriguez Posted April 29, 2004 Report Share Posted April 29, 2004 hopefully, the brunt of the poo poo will hit SAS on Friday evening and give it all a chance to get soaked up by the time they plan to pull the triggar on practice Saturday. Then again, 16 is a mess there around the speedway. (how ya'll like "poo poo" for a weather term !! ??) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VictoryLane Posted April 29, 2004 Report Share Posted April 29, 2004 Acording to D .W. we just need to get the cars out on the track going fast, and that will create a vortex , and the rain will go right by the track. Brian C. needs to have a free practice Friday night ,and that will keep the rain away, also if Shawn Paul Dose his Anti- Rain dance that would help......lol I would pay to see that at Intermission.

gundogC3 Posted April 29, 2004 Report Share Posted April 29, 2004 60% chance of storms sat, i sure hope they call it before we spend 100.00 on tow fuel and such just to be called as we get into s/a, to tell us go home this time. just think about those guys comming from ok,mo, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mary Ann Naumann Posted April 29, 2004 Report Share Posted April 29, 2004 60% chance of storms sat, i sure hope they call it before we spend 100.00 on tow fuel and such just to be called as we get into s/a, to tell us go home this time. just think about those guys coming from ok,mo, Gundog26, it is a no win situation for the tracks, they are wrong if they call it early to save some from the long trips & they are wrong when they call it later in the day, hoping for sunshine & it does not come! Not only does the weather at race time play an important part in it, but what the weather has done earlier to the track, sun may be shining @ race time, but the track is so wet and if they tried to race when there racing accidents, clean up would be incredible and we all know, fans like the wrecks, but not the time it takes to clean them up. Nothing more stressful for track owners, promoters & the touring series than trying to make the right call. Tuff job! Lets just all pray for no more rain for a while.
