Not looking too good for this tomorrow, right now they're calling for 80% chance of T-Storms and 1-2" of rain at the track...
This will be the 5th track day I've been rained out this summer - unbelievable. The worst part is I've lost all those days off, as they usually don't cancel the event till mid day of the event, so I'm already at home, loaded up, helmet, Scroth harness and camera installed, tank full and ready to go.
What are the odds that it would only rain on the one Wed a month they hold the event? About the same as lottery odds?

I'm glad I didn't buy a lottery ticket.....
Weather was perfect - in Topeka - in KC it sucked completely! Amazing what 60 miles can do....
We weren't sure we were gonna get to go as it was raining when we met up for lunch, but a call from the track said that it was fine there, although the track was damp in a couple of places. So we motored on up and sure enough it was sunny, breezy and mid 70's - perfect! The wind was against up going up the front straight, but I was able to hit 105 - not bad for a bone stock Clubman S!
The turnout was a little light, but there were some cars there that made it feel almost like back in the day of the Trans Am - new version! A new Camaro, new Shelby Mustang and a new Challenger were all on track together!
There also was a gorgeous new Ferrai 458 Italia, man is that thing beautiful, and when you get up close it's even better - no wonder Jeremy Clarkson waxed poetic over it on Top Gear. I may have gotten one snippet of video of it as it passed me on the back straight, but I don't know yet, my camera malfunctioned on my first go and shut down on me mid run.
I'll upload the vids tonight when I get home from work - watch this space!
Oh, I found a link to a site of a photographer that was at the track...
