I hate to say it but the latest modules shows us wet all weekend. I'm tracking the driving weather on I-81 for my 6 hour run and fri. it is 60% for rain, Sat goes to 70%, run home Sunday is 40%.
I won't put us or the vette in that condition around the big rigs. I'd take the Burb, but this being my first time I'd be so bummed to walk in mud all weekend and not be able to look at all the cars and parts. Ebo woman will for sure have a bad hair day. Right now we are looking to wait till next year. I'll know for sure by 2pm
Last Sept if you all recall we were in Richmond for the Nascar race in Sept. when that hurricane hit.
What do the venders do if they get hit with high winds?
I'm really bummed right now as this was a seldom seen get away for me and ebo woman alsoCryCry

Well we are goinfg to give it a shot... we had planned on trailering the Vette anyway... so rain or shine we are going this time... they are looking at 40-50% rain on Saturday... so maybe we will have a little luck.. we hope to be up there by 2-3 Friday... but for sure  will be up in time for dinner  .. one advantage to trailering.. Mama can take all she wants... like boots .... umbrella... fain coat... yada.. yada.. yada...
 See you guy's up there...
Last i remember... it rained it's ars off on the way home from Pigeon Forge...Confused

JimG- did you make it to Carlisle?
Yes, we got wet, but still had a great time.
I was there from noon Friday to noon Sunday and still didn't see it all.
It came and went too fast.

Gees guys, sorry to hear about the precip. I guess if I intend on gettin out for these kind of events instead of just a sunny day road trip I'd better do a little work on the T-Top seals. But then....this is California Wink Big smile.
