Good luck buddy! ? does your door clear the fender on the trailer or does fender come off?

**Martin0660** · 08-30-2012, 04:43 PM

Coming home today there was no traffic or delay.

Was this actually on RT70 or on the Wheeling bypass (470) ?

We heard there was something on 470 to avoid, not sure if we should be watching for another delay.

No, it's on 70 closer to Zanesville, further out than the 470 bypass.
We are leaving Saturday morning around 4:30.

Thank you, we are leaving soon!

Good luck and I hope everyone has fun! I'm going to try and make it out to watch Sunday morning for eliminations...

Fun racing today, but too hot. No records set for me today for sure.

**AdamantiumSilvr** · 08-31-2012, 07:36 PM

Have fun guyz and goodluck! With Isaac startin to roll thru there it's not lookin good for me to roll out. I'll make my final decision around 4am but its not lookin good. They need to start rescheduling races when circumstances like this occur, maybe to the next weekend er something!!?

**Martin0660** · 08-31-2012, 08:02 PM

For anyone driving out here, it seems they opened up all the construction zones on I70 for the holiday weekend. The only issue was a big chunk of 470 (wheeling bypass) was one lane. The other stuff was all open.

Stop around if you make it Mike.

Mixed results testing today, some good, some bad ... I'm hoping to pull three of these out of my ass tomorrow ...

We can't do anything about the weather, chance of rain, but we knew that coming out here.

**Flyin Monkey** · 08-31-2012, 09:07 PM

We are still heading out...I need parts.

**AdamantiumSilvr** · 09-01-2012, 04:06 PM

**Martin0660** · 09-01-2012, 05:53 PM

No, I had my issues ... Melted a turbo inlet gasket(turbo to manifold) ... Not a good day for me although we still had a blast. My buddy Ryan pulled off his 3rd win for the 11.00 hat trick.

**AdamantiumSilvr** · 09-01-2012, 05:54 PM

...racing thou!? Sorry um just super bummed that I couldn't be there and um takin it out on the weather! Driven out was my only way and not thru hurricane rains thou. A little spritz of it and I probably would of came out. Trailerin out would of been the best bet, especially n enclosed one in this case! Congrats to Ryan thou, sorry to hear about the carnage. How'd everyone else end up doin, Glenn, Joe, Tim, and the bright yellow PRP Mikes Auto Body Pinto!???

Race is a scheduled event. They can't move these back for weather that may or may not effect the race in advance.
