Maybe pleading the 5th would be a good idea now ;)

Can you buy beers in the grocery store in WV? I may need to top off the reserves earlier than expected if it's a beer/lap

Turns one and three should also be a little hairy. We had a day in 2007 when the pavement was brand new and absolutely no sealer and it was too much rain to ride. The best thing you can do is show up prepared to ride, in any conditions. You will never know until you get there.

Thanks for the input... I guess I don't remember 5-7 that well from last September.

Guess I just wish there was a way to know before I take a day off from work! :b:

I'm glad to show up - hell even a chance of riding is better than work :) just wondering since Summit has a rep for being slick in the wet.
I've ridden Beaver in the wet (I know there's a joke in there) and it was more or less fine but it has a much better surface than summit.

I'll have to check and see if we still have the trikes. I'd pay money to see Kaley on one. :D

Wera shut down the national there last year because it rained due to the sealer, wonder if nesba will do the same?

90% chance for rain is the forecast: http://www.weather.com/weather/wxdetail/USWV0726?dayNum=1&from=36hr_topnav_undeclared
I am sitting here at work with the truck all packed and have a 5-6 hour drive ahead of me to do 'one' TD.

Can someone find a big fan and blow away that s... weather !?
I hope that it clears up, but looks not too good.

CU all,

Ditto big time. :agree:

I'm heading up to the track shortly to help with the air fencing. I put my scuba gear in the back of the tahoe! :eek:

What are the conditions when they will call it on main? I don't want to miss a full day of work if it's a 90% chance that it will be called.

I know if it's Jefferson they won't even attempt it in a drizzle.

So do we have to drive all the way out there to be told if it's canceled or not? I just got a spot for Saturday at Jefferson. Want to test out the 211GP's on the 09 R1!

You don't have to drive all the way out - if you don't show up, and the event's cancelled, you still get your $$ back as part of the rain insurance policy thing. If you don't show up, but there is riding, you don't get your money back - same as if you don't show up for a day in the dry.

There's no magic answer as to if they'll run or not. Decision probably won't be made to call the day (if it is going to be called...) until mid-afternoon at the earliest (from my prior experience, at least).
