... I was at the track and they were trying to dry the race surface, but a light mist of rain kept coming and going. They called it a rain out at Noon. Rescheduled for Sat Nov 14th.
Grrr... I drove the Challenger down there hoping the crappy weather would clear out, only to end up paying my $$$ just to hang out w/ Jim and some others until they finally called it off. Watching the track crew run their "squeegee" and blower over the lanes while the rain was still coming down was a perfect example of the old expression "pissin' in the wind", as far as I was concerned. 
I already knew I had other stuff that would conflict w/ getting back on the 14th, so this was my one chance for making the event this year. Oh, well...
For the F.A.S.T. guys that were wondering who it was that drove up in the Challenger, got out and yelled "Welcome to Maryland International Raceway!!!" as the rain was coming down, it was ME.

Heck we did worse than that. We showed up on friday night and should have raced the street race. I decided to hold out until Saturday  . Of course it rained out. We fighued we might as well stay and try the test and tune Sunday. Well we all know how Sunday worked out. All and all it was fun to hang out with my buds and have a lot of  but what a waste of money. We could have had that much fun in my driveway and kept my car dry and clean.

It was fun to drive 6 hours from The Bronx, to hang out for two hours.People were cool.  Might show up on the 14th. How about the way back tunnel close to one lane.

Ofcourse I will be back. It is only 30 miles from my house. Hope to see a good turn out. The last time the MIR Mopar race was rained out, the rain date was good weather and a terrific car count.
So who's going this time? On the 31st, I was mired in day 2 of the flu and could not have made it across the room... never mind putting on my slicks and making it to the track. That H1N1 is no joke. However, I'm good to go now. Let's go racing!!!! Does anyone know if the F.A.S.T. guys are coming??

The FAST class will not be there. Maybe next year 
Bummer!! I was hoping to see you guys and your awesome cars. I hope Mother Nature gives us break and we get this in. I know a lot of local Mopar racers are planning to attend. I had to miss last year's event due to work and it killed me.

but the Magnum. Bring some money...I have parts to sell....
I know they have a blower but with 3 days of hard rain, at the best they could run 1/8 mile. Me and Beequick were planning to go to kentucky to buy a car on Friday and that fell through also. 
Another bad weekend as usuel for me!
