Rosie Posted May 20, 2011 Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 I'm in Branson, MO. It's a real frog drowner here right now. Electricity has been out for an hour now. How the heck can I get any riding in like this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickHolt Posted May 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 Weather radar has been showing very, very light stuff (probably more like drizzle) off and on for a while now. All the major weather has been going North of the track. Yeah, we need a good drenching here in the San Antonio area, but we can wait until Sunday...

NickHolt Posted May 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 A small shower just missed the track to the Northwest. Phew! Just got a call from the track and it's DRY at THR as of 6:15 P.M. Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickHolt Posted May 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 Weather is closing in on THR, but I guess they got several hours of practice in. This wave could miss, but it looks like it's on a direct line towards the track... Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
