some forecast ... when the weekend started, they were talking about 4+ days of sunny nice weather. Forecasts are worthless, even short range.

I knew it was going to rain as soon as they set the schedule for the season...LOL Winternationals says it all:
WINTER...Nationals....

We thought we were getting the clean weekend...NOT. Raining at Pomona is like Mother Nature quoting The Rock "Know your role and shut your damn mouth!"

It was fine until Mark "The Rainmaker" Krogen booked his last minute trip to Pomona.

Actually they boasted..."Perfect racing weather all weekend". After 27 years (to date) in broadcasting I know NOT to guarantee weather based on a long range forecast.

I warned everyone to bring their umbrella. Maybe NHRA needs to consult me before boasting of "beautiful weather forecast".

Mark, if they want to blame you for the rain, then they also have to credit you for the outstanding conditions that gave the super ET's.
