Still too early to worry about the weather. If this was next Wednesday and the weather looked that way, I would then be slightly concerned.

Never base any decisions on a long range forecast...

10 day forcasts are a Total guess! Wait till the 23rd if you want an accurate forcast!
See prior post. "I guess that's right unless you had reservations to fly out this Sunday. Some of us are trying to make travel decisions."
I either go on Sunday the 20th or stay home. Think I'll save the tickets for later in the season and avoid the extra days with my in-laws.

It's a Crapshoot any way to travel, I've been bit the Rainman more than I can count!
Joe I don't have your number anymore. If you "PM" it to me, I will give you a call when I come through.

It's looking sketchy. Does anyone know the contingency plans?
What ??? Contingency plan?? The plans at NHRA events have always been to deal with weather specific issues as they occur (if they occur). The only exception might be if dangerous weather conditions were anticipated and safety was a concern (Tornado outbreak, blizzard, wildfire, etc). Qualifying rounds are cancelled (lost) frequently. Whole days are scratched occassionally. These are either made up in the remainder of the weekend ... with Mondays (or longer) used as the contingency. Then there is always a reschedule to the next weekend (especially if there is an off weekend between events). If there is a schedule conflict at the facility, a compatible weekend is chosen. Always depends on how much racing actually gets done.
You cannot possibly rely on a weather forecast to pre-plan poor weather contingencies. Otherwise, it is show up and play it by ear. We all know weather forecasting is no more than 50% accuracy.
Looks like I made the correct decision

While I don't disagree with your sentiment, one could make an argument for Vegas.
But rainouts there are quite a bit rarer...Toejam
