Rain has pushed out today. Practice should be a go. However, tomorrow is now up to 80% chance of rain, and those going to GIS, 80% Friday as well.

Looks pretty bad now...I see several 80% chances on different sites moving in around 2pm Thursday...that's a shame...I'm not going to risk it but I hope the best of luck to all that do...if you could just get a 3hr window they may squeeze it in...Friday doesn't look any better...Saturday mite be possible...

Unfortunately they got one shot at it. With GIS running the next 2 days and Sunday being the travel day to Florida. Everyone needs to sign up for their "Rained Out" updater. Nice to see that system work. Just sucks it might be on the first race of the season.

dang this 80% worries me... how much is the chance at night? i cant see making the 4 hr trip over with that high of a chance... ill make my decission at noon... was really looking forward to this race!

It's getting worse by the minute. It looks like Screven and GIS will be a wash.

National Weather Service is calling for 100% chance of rain tomorrow night.

Well tomorrow is race day, I cant wait, I will be leaving work around noon to head that way. I hope that the rain holds off long enough to let Redd get this race in. I know the forecast doesnt look that good but you never know.

Here was another from earlier:

Sprint cars have been on the track for practice. Track is starting to look very smooth. The sprints are running in the mid 12 second range to mid 13 second range - unofficially. We will be timing all cars with transponders for tomorrows event and the weather is looking better - but will be cooler.

Tomorrow's forecast has actually gotten a little better:

Annual event

I certainly hope this becomes an annual event, I was headed your way, then on to Golden Isles, but this weather forecast has changed my mind. I will wait until Friday morning to decide about GIS. For all the people headed to Screven, I certainly hope they do get it in. With the scheduled shows and that food menu, I was hoping the weather forecast would change, but it just keeps getting worse.
