2 inches of rain today.

Better check the football schedule for Sunday.
Well, it used to be Los Angeles . . . 50 miles north of Fresno now.
Just remember . . . It isn't life or death.
It's bigger than life or death! It's RACING.

They cancel, and it looks like 2 inches of rain will cancel this meet.  You will have to wait for the official ruling.  November meet could have a really good course. :mrgreen:

If no rain Weds, Thurs, Friday and Sat, is that enough to dry the lake bed for Sunday?

This could be bad news for the Oct. meet , but we could be looking at a really good track in Nov.
And it gives me less of a chance to move up in points.

I like the dog bowl method.  If rounded, it can approximate the actual amount of water that the lakebed gets -- adding runoff from the perimeter to the actual rainfall.

Good job, Tiny.
