"that's to much", but just enough so that they have to get out thier rain tires and windshield wipers. If it does rain how many laps do you think Fellows and Said would win by?

Default Hmm ... are you positive about that?

We were at the most recent Busch race that Ron Fellows won at the Glen, and I swear I saw a number of cars with windshield wipers. I also seem to remember a discussion about wets/dries on some ubiquitous NASCAR show on TV.

Dunno, maybe I'm wrong; anybody absolutely sure of the NASCAR rules for rain on a road course? God help me, I do love to see the elephants dance, and dancin' in the rain would be a special treat to watch.

Default I just wish they had tickets for the Rolex race tonight. I could care less about the rest of the

weekend. Weekend general admission tickets only.... WTF???

Default Yep they are suppose to run in the rain on a road course. With only two road courses

with one where it never rains what are the odds? They have had wipers and rain tires for several years now, but they all get quite religious about praying for no rain. I would even go to the track if I thought it would rain!!
