Re: MSRC 1.3 Saturday 5/16, 1.7 Sunday 5/17
I just sent an email requesting my spots be sold and my account credited for a future trackday. I don't know what this bug is that I'm fighting but it has been kicking my ass and it is not giving up.

Yep, nasty stuff, and think, you're young and "strong like bull". It's even worse when you're old and "strong like chihuahua".

Re: MSRC 1.3 Saturday 5/16, 1.7 Sunday 5/17
I bet today is decision time for RideSmart. Saturday is currently showing about 40% chance of rain during the day (70% after 5pm), and Sunday about 20% from 11am-2pm, with 60% before and 44% after that window. This could still turn out okay.

I sent a request to credit my days also. I have no desire to ride on wet pavement at this point in my track day progression.

Re: MSRC 1.3 Saturday 5/16, 1.7 Sunday 5/17
My input from Ridesmart says they are staying with the schedule with those numbers. Randy commented TWS had the same kind of forecast and it turned out okay.
It just seems to me that "run-offs" are going to end up with more damaging results due to the soggy ground, even if the track stays dry enough to run faster paces.
I feel like a bit of a pansy for backing out, but having just healed up both my body and my bike from ECR, another water related incident just doesn't compute well for me.

Misery love company, so welcome to the fold brother.
Seriously, I get it. Hard to fault someone's self-preservation instinct.
P.S. I'm not sure they are normally giving credits, so you'll probably get a "we can sell your spots" reply. I know one or two others have successfully sold theirs.

My hope is a lot of people bail out and we end up with a near empty track

Re: MSRC 1.3 Saturday 5/16, 1.7 Sunday 5/17
What forecast are you looking at? For Saturday weather.com shows 80% of rain, scattered thunderstorms in the morning becoming more widespread through out the day with a potential for severe thunderstorms.Striple wrote:I bet today is decision time for RideSmart.

Sunday is a little better, still 80% rain and Scattered thunderstorms in the morning then dropping to thunderstorms likely in the afternoon.
Update, seems the hourly forecast and the summary forecast are drastically different from each other. Hourly shows a thunderstorm around 1, but the rest of the day should be decent.

I use Weather Underground, since their forecasting models tend to be a bit more accurate.

Sorry, I thought everyone already knew you were a pansy. Between cancelling your track day, and not following through on the pie committment.

Dang, those are significantly higher percentages that Weatherbug...it's almost a certainty to rain out with your forecast (which it probably was anyway).Striple wrote:I use Weather Underground, since their forecasting models tend to be a bit more accurate.

Maybe, maybe not. I can't tell you how many times I've seen a very high chance of rain up until the night before, then wake up with just cloudy skies and have a good event.

Well since my hotel is non-refundable and I already have the day off...I'm heading up there Friday night. No one says I have to ride on a wet track if it starts really pouring. I'm sure if that happens they will shut the track down for a bit anyway.

I'm in no matter what now, too late to do otherwise. I will ride out to Hico for the steak festival tomorrow and spend Saturday night at my parents in Granbury about 15 min from the track. I might need some help disabling my brake light, as I guess you can't just tape it over.

Since I'm not likely going to make it, if you all want the canopies someone needs to get in touch with Grinner and get them from him.
