Snow and cold is I woudl welcome actually. Cant race in the weather here so since it is winter I would just as soon have the snow. I know I am crazy but I am a midwestern kid stuck out here. I actually enjoyed the off season, I at least knew I had time to do what needed to be done. Out here they front load the race schedule so much and the weather is so iffy this time of year it just sucks. We hardly race in the summer out here, guess it is to hot for the locals  Then ad in the cost of doing anything out here, well you get the picture. Now with moving to Vegas it will be more of the same, only hotter in the summer and colder in the winter, and less cost at least.....

Let's see..... $20 brings out everyone and their dog. Crap starting line and poor prep because it's hopeless anyways with the street tires. $75 weeds that out and provides a good track. At least that's my experience and for $75 I expect NO less. ....now if you'll excuse me it's time to go put some miles on the Harley!

Brisbane Australia recorded its coldist December in somthing like 80 years & the wettist since recordings began, we have most the state of Queensland in flood. The area flooded is bigger than Germany & France combined,The Fitzroy river in a city called Rockhampton is flowing the volume of Sydney habour everyday. Willowbank racway cancel the next race meet 10 days in advance with some more serious weather forcast for the coming week.
the latist update says now an area bigger than the states of New South Wales, ACT & Victoria combined is now under water, thats pretty much an area close the size of 1/4 Australia, and thats just in Queensland, they are talking now that areas of nothern New South Wales are under threat of heavy flooding.
top that with a prediction of up to 4 or 5 cyclones for Queensland this coming season

Well, the town went bankrupt and thats not good. The weather is always nice and the track is 15 minutes away. That makes it paradise to me. 
This is the first test n tune Infineon has run that i can remember. With temps in the 40's to mid 50's they can't count on a big crowd to show up. With The cost of a full staff along with running the jet dryer like mad to get the track ready,the tracks costs have to be high. I'm willing to cough up $75. I'll be suprised if they get 100 cars.I'm thinking there will be ALOT of runs to be had.-Tom

didn't get out of the teens here today.
But I don't mind because it's better than rain, floods, mudslides, forrest fires and earthquakes plus my shop is heated.  .
I REALLY wish there were more like you. That would make my drive easier.
Floods? If you live in an old river basin. Most of us don't.
Mudslides? Never actually seen one in 54 years-except on TV.
Forest fires? I guess if you live in the forest.
Earthquakes? Like a carnival ride-only free.
My shop isn't heated because that would be just stupid.

It gets them through a day living in a refrigerator I guess. You live in God's country. There are many places on Earth that offer what you have there.

Hey Al, tough crowd eh? I was wondering how long it take for the "NORTHERNERS" to feel your pain  I use this off time to refine my ride, and recharge my body. Chassisman and BobR your shops aren't HEATED, are they air conditioned?  Al I hope you get to test some though! Don
