Will crappy weather keep you from racing?
How about if the race were a Regional Series? |

| Yes, since the foot off snow on the ground makes it a little tough off the line, not to mention its 8 degrees or so, and tire pressures can be a challenge. But, as soon as it hits 35 degrees and sunny in late March/early April, we will be out there! |

C'mon Brad. Think positive. Gotta be able to see the track to have it rain there. If this crud sticks around, will be a pain.

Dunno John, when everyone else stopped in the streets and panicked last Tuesday I thought about throwing on the old YJP rain tires on that Mac and going for a drive in the snow. Light weight, lots of tire surface area, no reason not to work.  |

Please note - the above says RAIN or SHINE we run.
It does not say RAIN or SHINE or SNOW we run.
If there is SNOW, we just wait for the RAIN to make it go away and then we run. |

Fog tires? Fog Lights?
Seriously, BW is supposed to get some cool but sunny (broken clouds) weather.
It did rain on us 2 years ago at the pro race. We had no clue we were going to get dumped on because we couldn't see through the fog to see the clouds. |

Thanks, but you have to tell our northern friends that it only gets down to 41 at night.

| Nope, not much difference in temps from night to day. A few degrees at most. |
