What are the temperatures generally like in September? I'm assuming 70's.... has the event ever been canceled due to very bad weather, etc?
thanks,
Frank

Frank,
Don't jinx the weather for us LOL... :cheers: never say the "R" word.
Temps could be mid 70's to high 80's...
This week was 82 to 89..
Who knows what next week will look like ??

80 to 85 degrees is the average temp this time of year. The only total rain out was the March Meet of 1998. It rained 5 straight days and we ran out of beer so we went home!!! Can anyone name the players???

I can try and name the top 10 or 12 most likely suspects...
Beckett
Williams
Sarda
Guthrie
Mackey
Timney
Glass
Cannon
Rothfuss
Zainfeld
Hinni
Bryant
Anheuser Busch (which was obviously the first one to leave)
How many did I get right? If I do better then 50% I beat the weather man in that county.

I promise that I'll never mention the R-word!

I said I wasn't going to do it, but you made me look at the weather for next weekend. TWC's 10 day has Friday & Saturday up.
Friday 83/64 60% chance of T-storms and 30% chance of overnight showers. Winds out of the NE at 6.
Saturday 81/58 20% chance of rain. Winds out of the NNE at 13.
If that holds can you say headwind...lol.

OK Todd,
It was Lionel, John Beckett, Clem Roberts, Mike Poteet, Jim McDonald and I lasted all weekend...I know a couple others showed up Friday and left Saturday morning but it was too long ago!!! Oh Yeh...too many brain cells wasted. LOL

Hey, youse guys -- there is a weather icon/click here thingie for Maxton on the home page of this site. I don't care very much for the commercial weather sites -- like Weather.com or the WeatherUnderground -- ostly because they've got enough commercials in the pages that it takes a while to load. I prefer the NOAA weather site -- but they don't have the little "click here" thumbnail service so there's not an easy way to have them up front.
One good thing about NOAA is that the local radar is one click away from their home page. For instance, here's our home forecast (I've got it bookmarked on this 'puter -- and you can put in either city, state or zip code to get any forecast, probably like on the commercial sites - but again, with no advertising): http://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?CityName=Skandia&state=MI&site=MQT&textField1=46.38&textField2=-87.23
So what's the Maxton weather for the weekend? http://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?zoneid=NCZ087&zflg=1

No staying home. If it rains we can all put on rain tires and start new classes. Think of the points for the open records...LOL. :-D

See you all Friday afternoon.

"No staying home. If it rains we can all put on rain tires and start new classes."
Or just say you've got rain tires on and claim new records -- sorta like displacement.

I've tried that "claim new records" but they've got those pesky little time slip issues.
