Re: ardmore 2013

That probably won't be decided until they see if it rains Saturday. No need to make a rash choice this early.

Re: ardmore 2013

According to the weathercasts this AM (Friday) Ardmore looks good for Sunday.  They show the rain being in the metroplex way south of ardmore.

Re: ardmore 2013

The bad thing about Ardmore is the pit parking is mainly grass (unless they've made improvements since last year).  A big rain Saturday will make it a mess for Sunday.

The rain chances for Saturday are enough to make me cancel my hotel reservation, don't have the money to waste if we get rained out.  If we race I'll see everyone bright and early on 35W Sunday morning!

Re: ardmore 2013

This is a difficult one to call. Right now it looks like we will cancel and not try to reschedule the race. I will post by 5pm Saturday if the race is canceled or not. Hope this helps. Thanks

Re: ardmore 2013

Just need to know before it's time to roll on Sunday morning for me. The forcast up there for Sunday is dry. The rain is here not there. Like it was stated though lot's of grass and no concrete could make it messy?

Re: ardmore 2013

I thought that was your specality. You do the dance and leave town so you don't miss a race. LOL  We had enough rain in Florida. It rained everyday but one out of eight. Sure was glad to get back to Texas.

Re: ardmore 2013

Looks like it might be a cancellation. Ouch ! there goes the high points. I was depending of those to make my big come back.

Re: ardmore 2013

I will be running up there on saturday in there bracket racing program. So i hope i see everybody there

Re: ardmore 2013

Still on I guess?  Everyone in our club has cancelled reservations except two of us that are up in the points.  Whining also about not going out to get stuck in mud or getting it all in their cars.  But if most don't go, just easier for the ones that do.

Re: ardmore 2013

I think its still too early to judge. My weather forcast says rain moving out of  oklahoma early afternoon. If thats the case maybe it will dry out some.

Re: ardmore 2013

This is not a Kennedale race that we can make a last minute decision to make a rain out call! I was lookin for a little consideration for all the racers that have hotel reservation that a quick call could be made so people can cancel hotels without being penalized! For a lot of families this is time to get out and get together with race friends! We look forward to out of town races so quick decision would give time to cancel hotel and make other plans, so we miss a race there will be others but  it beats sitting around not doing anything just waiting for a last minute call! P.S. No hard feelings!

Re: ardmore 2013

I'm with you.  Fixing to cancel my room too.  Will drive up Sunday if necessary.  Probably the problem is that we have the track reserved.  If we cancel and not the track, we lose the deposit.  This can be a big expense for a club our size plus we usually spend most any profit we do make on the banquet.

Re: ardmore 2013

Let's let  Mark and the track make the decision.  Mark said we will have an answer by 5 so give him a chance. Radar shows that  the rain is gone in Ardmore now and now it needs to dry out.  The track owner knows his track better than any of us do down here.  Personally I want to race but I will stand behind Marks decision

Yes agreed since he did say by 5pm today. People need to be patient. Living in Little Elm and having gone thru this for the 1st Ennis race I get the wanting to know thing but once Mark posted as to when a decision would be made it doesn't make sense to keep poking about it.

Re: ardmore 2013

It's a tough call to make a decision this early. Been in that position in the past. Either way someone is going to be upset.


Mark will make the decision with input from the track operations folks and advise everyone as soon as he can. I know it's hard to make plans when things are up in the air but he needs us all to be patient. He will make the right call when all factors have been weighed out.


Let's make Drag Racing great again. 😉

Re: ardmore 2013

Considering everything I feel we would miss a good chance to race if we canceled tomorrows race. So the race tomorrow is on. I hope to see you all there. I understand if you don't agree and don't make the trip. All that being said before you leave in the morning check the web site because if something does change I will post here ASAP.
Thanks
