We may as well had a Winter storm warning here in Phoenix, Az today. It only got up to 66 degrees. (It had been low to mid 70's) My bad, I couldn't resist. 

Lol. I know. It's funny to all u Yankees. Lol. My good racing friends from crown point in love and laugh and laugh at my winter weather stories. Schools are already closed state wide, grocery stores are empty, the governor has declared a state of emergency. And yes, I'm serious. ....your welcome for the laughs.

Friend, it's the ice bowl. They work on it up till Thursday morning and that's it. Don't matter if it's 33 degrees or 73. It is what it is the rest of the weekend. Set your car up to run the bottom cause that's all there'll be. #1 reason I haven't been in over 10 years.

Every year there are a few cars that get rolling in the middle of the track and do some passing. Super heat races are always a good show. Feature last year had 3 lanes and passing like crazy. To the guys who are hoping for them to work the track what good would it do? Track looked good yesterday morning but within 30 minutes of hot laps it was rubbered up top to bottom like it will be all weekend.

LOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!!!! Talk about dumb promoting. They knew this weather was coming for a week. Should have been called 7 days ago. Idiots!

How come the track promoters can be held accountable for not cancelling when they seen the forecast earlier in the week? But the racers are not held accountable for seeing the same forecast and still taking time off work and driving to the track and camping out??? Seams to me that the idiots are the ones that spent all of their money and vacation time even though they seen this forecast earlier in the week.

Thanks for the swell comments D-Crow. We had hoped for the best and it sure did not work. Sometimes ya gamble and 7-out with all the numbers covered and sometimes you hit the hard ways.

It has always been the desire to get the show in on the original date. There was always the chance that if the race was postponed and the weather did not go South and it had changed for the better, we I guess, as the Crow said, would be idiots with that decision too. Danged if ya do, danged if ya don't.

i finally got out of there at lunch Saturday, first time canceling in 27 years , but sh!t happens, we still had some great BS sessions , I saved the chili fixings till this weekend, may be to hot though with temps in the 70s, but im cooking it anyway. I hate it for all the folks that came from out of town , but if i was coming from a good piece away and access to the weather forecast, well thats just a chance you take. i was surprised at how many cars showed up on Thursday and with the weather looking good this coming weekend( keep fingers crossed ) i think it may be one of the best in a while. See you Friday morning mark.
