Default Update for todays Snoball 330 TSD Rally...many of people are canceling due to SNOW

Too much coming down. I have 6 to 7 inches at my house and its snowing at about an inch an hour in Akron . The weather people expect this to continue like that until evening. We will probably end up with a foot or more by evening easily. Most of the side streets would be impossible for the non-AWD vehicles and I wonder how my front spoiler and belly pan would look after 50+ miles of beating down medium weight snow. My driver e-mailed me to call it quits this morning and we were using my car. So Im guessing nobody wants to play in the snow today. Well ,probably for the better ,my spouse was giving me hell last night that I still was going .

Default Yes, from the e-mails to me I'd say about 10 trucks went ahead and did it.

If I'd gone I'd have had to tape the route sheet to the wheel and navigate at same time. Just figures even my driver called to cancel. We now have a little over 13" of snow and freezing rain/sleet mix is starting

I may go do some donuts in parking lots later.Paul (aka cyberpmg) lives near me and planted that thought in my head. Gotta enjoy this somehow.

For now this is a no membership fees club. All makes bikes, cars and trucks are accepted and its funded by the $10 each at the rallys and the good volunteer. Its being run by guys from local autoshops , including guys from LKQ and Summit Racing but not funded by any companies .

If you'd rather navigate, I can drive.
