Just curious what the plan is if the weather is as the forecast says it will be?

PacNW 2011 Weather?
- Thread starter radiod
- Start date
Hookers and blow?
Seriously though, I find it really difficult to put any faith in the weather forecast around here until a couple days before it actually happens. Even then they are often wrong - it was calling for rain yesterday, instead I got hot sun.
The only part of the event that is *really* weather dependent is the track at Mission... If it really does rain and close the track, maybe we should all descend on the nearest waterslide park instead.

I guess that's true. If the Friday Night Street Legals do get rained out will there likely be an alternative planned at all? Also, is admission in to the drags (and I know some will have prepaid for racing) covered in the sign up for PacNW?
Unless you've prepaid, you still need to pay the regular $5 (I think) admission fee for spectators.
$35 includes your admission, not any passengers. If you havent prepaid then it will cost $5 per head. As for alternative plan if the races get rained out, I was thinking about that today. I say we just wing it, go grab something to eat and maybe find a underground parking lot to go hang out at. House party?? lol
If you'd want to do karting the only place that would be decent and still open would likely be TBC racing in Richmond. I can't think of another one that isn't weather dependent and/or governed to 30kph, lol. We could swarm Castle Fun Park and do mass mini golfing :icon_razz!

huh, I happen to be an expert in both those subjects

funny, castle fun park came to my mind too. Or if its not raining but the races got cancelled we could go to the drive-in and catch some flicks? Who am I kidding, the weather is going to hold out and were gunna race until 11pm
My name's Dave....what am I going to do? lol!
And yes, I know of who you speak of...you going to pull off the magical 11.49 this year Dave?

To be honest, I'll be surprised if I run at all. What's the point of paying money to race just to get booted off in a pass? I'd rather buy a sammich.
Someone's really got work harder at their sun dance or something

Weather wasn't perfect, but it was close. Not too hot, didn't rain at all until pretty late in the night - we probably lost an hour of racing at the end, but they might have closed it due to dew before 11 anyway. Hoping for the rest of the weekend now!
