trbfan Posted October 9, 2009 Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 Well, with the big line of storms coming this way....It looks like Thunderhill is gonna get a pretty good rain shower until about 1:30-2 pm...After that it looks like it will clear up.. I guess we'll just have to wait and see how wet it gets there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WOAI in San Antonio just said that the rain should be completely clearing outta the area by noon...So as long as it doesnt rain TOO much before noon, it looks good. ...As I say that it starts raining outside.

gundogC3 Posted October 9, 2009 Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 It's been raining here in Cedar Park since about 5 am. I'm sure we will be slowed down, but not out on today. Mary Ann and crew will find a way to get-er-done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kathy Posted October 9, 2009 Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 It is rainning here too, but nothing bad came through in the night. I never heard a sound.Hopefully the weatherman got it right this time and it moves on through. It looks like it is, so maybe a little slow start today but hopefully good to goooooooo! It looks like with in an hour of two from now the line will have completely clear us here. I'm in Fredericksburg. No water standing on the ground. Only a little in the parking lot.

RodneyRodriguez Posted October 9, 2009 Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 my in-acuweather center forecast can tell you it has been pouring up north since about 4:30, I hear clearing out after lunch but not sure what the mosh pit may look like..

debwill Posted October 9, 2009 Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 I'm in San Marcos, not far from the track. The front is passing through, bringing rain. You can see the clearing line on the radar image, so it looks promising for a nice day after the storm line passes through the area. Austin news is saying that the rain should stop around noon, with clouds clearning out in the afternoon. I'm sure the pits will be very muddy, but hopefully we can still get everyone parked. Although I haven't spoken to Mary Ann yet this morning, I will recommend that we move forward with our plans as scheduled. We may be delayed and hour or two, but hopefully it will be "all systems go" for a full weekend of racing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n2racing2 Posted October 9, 2009 Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 When the rain clears out, how long will it take for the track to dry out and what kind of a schedule we will have for the day? Will the classes scheduled to race today get any practice at all if the track is only dry shortly before all the qualifying is to begin? Just curious how the days events will progress and what time we should arrive at the track? Do not like to transport the naskarts in the rain unless we absolutely have to. Would like to wait til the rain stops to go to the track but do not want to miss out on practice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LM-RACER-20 Posted October 9, 2009 Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 Not to be negative because I would like to race tonight too. But with this amount of rain and the track already being pretty wet or damp in the infield and outfield, it wouldnt be smart to run tonight. Every car off the track will make a mess on the track with mud and a lot of cleanup time. Brian had a race after a bad weather week and nearly ruined the track. They totaled about 10 cars that night. It was just a bad night. I think the late models finally got on the track at about 2am and there were 3 poeple left in the stands. They also had dirt coming out of the asphalt for months and it made for slick racing. Also the pits are going to be real muddy. You have to think about that too. I think tomorrow is a better day for racing. But you never can tell what will happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soaker Posted October 9, 2009 Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 The pits are pretty wet right now and its still raining here but lightly. Doesnt look as if its going to clear soon either. Lets hope it does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Moon Motorsports Posted October 9, 2009 Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 Heavy rain here in Blanco since about 3 AM. Still coming down....Building ark now to get to track Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kathy Posted October 9, 2009 Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 The flood warning are probably going to be lifted early they said. It's moving on through. If the sun comes out like they say we should be alright. Just a little delayed maybe. I guess it all boils down to how much rain the track got though. They said we didn't get as much rain as they first perdicted. So, maybe just maybe we will be in good shape. And Reb, no that is not positive. And I just looked at the radar again, half of Gillispie county is already in the clear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LM-RACER-20 Posted October 9, 2009 Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 Exactly. It all depends on how much rain the track itself gets. You never know with Kyle. I lived there for over 10 years and watched many storms go right around us that were big bad ones for everyone else. Still lots of green on the radar coming so we'll wait and see what falls out of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kathy Posted October 9, 2009 Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 That's all we can do. We had less than an inch here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truck99 Posted October 9, 2009 Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 That I am not believing. You can see it clearing off and moving out. I just report what I sees.....The messanger is INNOCENT!!! That is true, but the radar is going to be the best forecater this late in the game. I would think they could at least get the qualifying done today. Maybe the features that are scheduled today might need to be moved to tomorrow, but I bet we can qet qualifing in this evening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kathy Posted October 9, 2009 Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 Radar shows I am within 15 to 20 miles (if that) from the all clear line. But, it is NOT raining at my house anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
