|  A heads up for atco nov.16
Just a heads up now for sunday 11/16 t&t, I just read on atco's website that if the no-time nationals get rained out on sat.11/15 that the rain date is sunday the 16th and that there will be no t&t!  Does that ever put a damper on things since we all have been hyping it up and it was looking like a good day, dammit!! Lets hope the weather holds up for sat. now but it does say showers.

On top of which will be the high winds even if the NTN event doesn't get rained out. 
High winds often equals 1/8th miles only.  | |

Oh i see how it is!!!! Kick the guy while he's down! FYI the wind is coming from the Northwest would be one hell of a headwind to cross wind I recall how Atco's track layout is.
Pease and grease dont wear fleece jeeesh!

And no matter which way it's blowing, if it's gusty enough they WILL limit passes to 1/8th mile only.
I only race there maybe 4 times per year and it's already happened to me twice in 3 years.
A nice tail wind to go along with the fall/winter air would be nice though.  | |

Well i had no plans on going to Atco at all but I'm bored and called their hotline for everyone thinking about going. There will be no T&T tomorrow. The no time nats were cancelled at 6:30 this morning.

This really sucks! I was all ready to roll with the Bird and even drove it down in the rain with the DR's Friday night.
Maybe next time...
