We got a phone call this morning from the officials at Raceway park and things aren't looking good for tommorow. We are going to hold off the event untill next wednsday the 19th. We had to make this decision based on several scenarios and they all leaned towards moving the date.
The weather for tommorow is supposed to be clear even though for the past two weeks its looked like rain anways. It is going to rain tonight and thats what presents a problem for the track. They will have to start drying the track right away tommorow morning and would probably not be finished untill near noon time. Leaving us a few hours short of racing on the day. Also they are going to use a ton of Jet fuel in their dryer to dry the track off and that costs alot of money, expected $1400 Raceway park said! They wouldnt mind on a day they normally make money. The other problem presented is that the water table is high at the track right now and after the rain its going to be even higher. This will create water sepage out on the track throughout the day making it more dangerous for the faster cars.
We also had to account for the food we are having catered. Its a large order and to get the food there and set up we need to make sure the event is going to happen. Wedsndays weather looks perfect...much cooler and sunny all day and the days before and after!
Im sorry for any inconvience but we had to wait untill today to make the call, i know alot of you guys have been periodically checking with us anyway because of the weather forcast anyways so hope you were prepared anyways!
Hope to see everyone who can make it to JDM day there this Wedsnday, November 19th!!!!
