Weekend weather is still holding. 40% chance of showers, high of 46, low of 38.

 

[goldwing2000]

They upped it to a 70% chance of rain. Showers early becoming a steady light rain later in the day, high 45, low just above freezing at 33.

Might be cutting it kind of close, as far as ice on the roads.

Next Saturday is supposed to be partly cloudy, 10% chance of rain and about 20 warmer.

 

[willowofwisp]

hmm, it just checked and its a 50% chance of rain during our fun run time, and i doubt any ice would form as the roads hold heat very well, even if its 32 degrees u wouldn't see ice until the road reaches that temp

 

[greasemonkey524]

Sorry but I'm gonna have to bail on this one. No insurance still and I really hate taking the car out in the rain. (jerkit) Two more gone. Sorry guys. I will get to some of these cause I had a blast last year!

Well, as Dave said, the weather report is saying a 50% chance of rain, but after today's weather, I'm hoping we'll be in the clear for a few hours.

 

[greasemonkey524]

Well if the weather were to stay like this I would be there. I hate taking chances with the rain.

Totally understandable. I have little faith in meteorologists, so I don't think it's gonna be all bad.

 

[speedracer]

[zoomspeed3zoom]

I don't want to drive an hour and be the only person there! I plan on going, although it's pretty bad here right now, just got home before the hail hit. Anyways I want to know whether this is a go or a no.

 

[willowofwisp]

yes, were still going i just talked to steve

 

[tunersteve]

I'd just like to remind everyone that we are still a GO for tomorrow. I will be there, and if you have any questions/concerns/problems...call my cell 734-624-6022. I hope to see everyone there.

The weather in my area has been much better than they anticipated, so I can only hope for the same good weather tomorrow.

 

[tunersteve]

Ugh, 5 hours of sleep, but I'm getting ready to do this. Hope everyone is coming, doesn't look like it rained much at all overnight.

 

[willowofwisp]

woot im on my way, and my driveway was dry when i woke up

 

[SlideWRX]

I am out as well. Have fun!

 

[willowofwisp]

drive was awesome, i believed someone said it was a british rally lol

 

[tunersteve]

Thanks to everyone that showed up for the 'British style Fun Run' this time. The weather was a light drizzle up until the last 4 or 5 miles, when we saw some heavier showers. By the time we got out of Subway, things were almost gone.

Nothing eventful today, no cops, no major route issues (Tom!), but one of the smoothest and well run drives I've had personally.

Oh, btw, the MS6 was a champ today too!(ricer)
