WF is on!!
« on: August 31, 2020, 07:20:02 PM »
Want proof that we're serious about having WF this year?  The porta-potties are on order!!  I'll fly out to SLC Sunday afternoon and be on the salt before suppertime.  Monday is gonna be Inspection day and racing starts Tuesday and goes 'til either we run outa racers or it's late Friday.

I haven't seen an entry list yet.  If you do - please post it (as long as you don't get us in trouble.  Don't ask what I mean).  I intend to live stream the audio again, too.

Let's go racing! :cheers: :cheers:

   Slim is so giddy with excitement (probably because of his porta potty fetish) that you would think it was starting this Friday, not a month from now :cheers:

Nope.  WF is 29 Sept - 2 Oct this year,. and without meaning to prejudice the issue, I'll betcha that by Thursday (maybe even sooner!) afternoon we'll be down to only a few folks running, and there'll be a chance that at the end of Thurs it'll be decided to call it quits.

I'm not predicting - just making sure you know that you shouldn't wait 'til Friday before heading out there...

Although it only covers the first day of WF, WeatherUnderground's 10-Day forecast is currently showing sunny and 82F for 9/29!  Let's hope that's correct and it holds for the whole meet!

   My WF pipe dream. Good weather, excellent track and a good attendance.  hope Poteet returns, but if he doesn't it could set up a good battle for top speed if only the following cars attend. Arley,, Eddie, and Rick. Sounds like the name of a law firm. Call Arley, Eddie and Rick if you injured yourself applying Preparation H.  :roll:

I've already begun thinking of ways to broadcast runs when they're spaced many minutes apart. :?

Jack , we leave tomorrow... guys, I suspect we will see at least 100 entries... I'm entered but I know of several that are taking advantage of not losing $100 if the meet is canceled before it starts.... since there was no incentive to enter early.  One is from Wichita... of course he just started a new job and didn't think his boss would give him a week off after a couple of months.... but I guess he got that worked out last week.   
So I guess we will see how many show up... I hear there will not be an ice vendor and event gas is available in 5 gal cans only.  I'm loading the truck today, car's been on the trailer for several days, gas tank drained, ready to go. 
We just need to tow half as far as you  :cheers:

 Nut if you dont have sign at end of the road before going on salt. Latter just takes more time. At speed week I heard of line to bend in the road to get on the salt because of spectators and such waiting to sign
