But come on people...
Um... if you need help... This is what a dry course on the 70 degree day looks like.
AND... This is the same course shot... 48 hours later, oh yeah... with 2 bazillion gallons of rain dumped on top.
I believe I may have mentioned the weather was a little fickle in KY... if so, I do have to pass on some credit to the Southern weather dudes. With the wild swings in weather, they've still been spot on so far!
Being from New England, this is a very impressive thing. Since our weather dudes seem to just toss a dart at a weather chart, give you a 7 day forecast... seem to get the forecast wrong 75% of the time and blame it on the jet stream...
So, with that said far, here's what the weather has tossed our way...
After a 4:00am tornado warnings, with so much rain dropping from the sky that the course drainage gullies simply couldn't handle the volume of water...
This is what the course looked like at 9:30 this morning... the course crew was scrambling to get water moved from point A to point B... racing was delayed for 2 hours. The course was a muddy mess.
A dive in overnight temps to 15 degrees and the possibility of snow is a possibility. All of this... in 4 days, I think Mother Nature needs an attitude check.
Not that we can do anything about it, but WOW!
Today was the final day of seeding races, tomorrow starts the races for the World Titles. Races will start in the mud... with the temperatures heading south, we're not sure if it will stay in the mud or turn to ice or some combination. But I can tell you one thing. It won't be dry!
God I'm glad that's over
Are you joking... I wanna do it again!!
It was slow going in the mud
Chivalry isn't dead
Good Luck to all the guys and gals racing tomorrow... Tom, Big Pit, Just Jerry, Tim Shea will be racing tomorrow ... the Flea and I will be Pit Crewing for Tom and Big Pit... Let's hope we don't screw it up!!!
Peanut out!
