Forecast is for the wet stuff to continue until about 1PM local time and then about 2 hours or so of track drying after that.
There isn't a curfew that I know of, but it gets really cold at night this time of year. It's only 56 degrees now at 11:30am and a predicted low of 50's tonight.

HI David. Were you part of the Butters & Gerard modified fuel roadster from 1960's? I saw that car run at San Fernando.
Chris, are you and the wife in Vegas?

Guilty!
Bill passed away about two years ago, but I am too dumb to quit <g>!
Bill and I also ran TF for several years until it just got too expensive for two guys. We sold off all of the TF stuff and built a B/ED that I drove for several more years. Bill was a lot older than me and finally wanted to quit, so we sold off that operation too.
I still own a race car with two long time friends, Steve Moeller and Walt Whitby. I originally was just going to help them out with getting their C/ED operation up and going, but we are still together after over 30 years!
After a lot of years in Competition Eliminator running C/ED, B/ED, and D/ED, we currently run a Top Dragster in the LODRS and NMCA-West events. We will be in Vegas next weekend.
I do a lot of the West Coast reporting for www.DragRaceCentral.com and will be reporting on that race too.

Yes! A little chilly at the track now. Stupid wind!
OK, here is a little story. I remember the B/ED, it was a rear engined car. I went once to the old Irwindale and it was raining. I helped you guys load the car on the trailer. I think the race got rained out. Die hard fan that I am, I knew it was raining but when out there anyway. At least I got to see the car and talked to you guys a little. I remember asking you if you were part of the modified roadster team. By the way, I really like the Top Dragster class. Who drives your car? Also, there is a T/D driver named Tom Thode. Do you know if he is related to Trotter & Thode AA/FD from the 60's? I must be the only guy who remembers this stuff. HA
