stngfever Posted April 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 Don and Jim you need to stop posting your selfies as they are off topic and difficult to erase from retina's! Weather is starting to look like it'll cooperate, however, still a bit early to tell. Will be watching closely into mide week to make the final determination. 8 days til lift off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stngfever Posted April 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2015 Spring haircut, check. Awake car from hibernation, check. Bring car home, check. Brake pad replacement, in process. Next up, finish cleaning brake calipers and brackets, install new pads, flush brake fluid, and change oil. Monday weather looking questionable at this time. Will continue to monitor with hopes that it clears out! Stay tuned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2007_Shelby_GT Posted April 14, 2015 Report Share Posted April 14, 2015 Credit Card - YOU BETTER CHECK YOUR ACCOUNT!! Someone "borrowed" mine in Kentucky yesterday! Kind of tough for me or the boss since we're in Florida! Rain, rain, rain, here - stupid low pressure system in Texas/Louisiana needs to move out!

gt67 Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 I think I just figured out why Don is ALWAYS second behind the leader.... Boss is ready to rock and roll. I'm leaving the F1'S on the Boss and leaving the sticky tires in the garage, so I might have to give up my #2 pole position and move to the rear and join Jim. I promise Jim won't need a spare alternator this year, but he could pick up a set of wiper blades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stngfever Posted April 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 Weather doesn't appear to be cooperating Final decision to be made tomorrow, however, likely going with rain dates (4/26-27). Post up if you can make the rain date? Scott, Cliff, & Don are good for rain dates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
07gt500conv Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 Not sure yet....have to wait for your decision tomorrow. I WOULD prefer to go this weekend, but will have to look at it if we dont go this weekend.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rumors Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 We cannot get screwed two years in a row. Last year we had no chance to cancel since we planned trip along with the 50th celebration. Weather was awful but the friendship was awesome. This year we may have to cancel this weekend. And Friday I had my car scheduled for new sticky tires as mine are down to a 4/32. Come on Mother Nature...........be kind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ViperNC Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 If you guys push to the rain date, I'll join for a day of driving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GT500-2007 Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 I think I can make the rain date. I still have to work out the logistics with work to be sure so the sooner we make the decision the better. At last check chance of rain on Sunday was 80% and Monday was running in the 50-80% range. That would not be fun conditions running through twisty roads. Too soon to see if weather improves for the following weekend. Weather for the Saturday steeda event is also questionable. Not sure what they do with a track event like that and rain chances at 80%. GT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rumors Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 Looking at my phone weather app, rain is scheduled for following weekend also, however that is too far in advance to know if accurate. I think we should make final decision Friday morning as it could change after Thursday. Just my two cents. I am self employed so can make either time work where as some of you may not be able to at such a short notice. You guys decide I am on board for whatever you decide, unless it is driving in the rain as I won't do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2007_Shelby_GT Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 I'm good with the rain dates, I think everyone needs just 24 hours to notify hotels. Dang, didn't rain for the week or two prior, now it won't quit! Sam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gt67 Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 Here's the good news moving back one week. Everyone can make the rain date change, plus we pick up one more joy rider with Craig (Viper). :happy feet: Just checked the weather and now is up to 100% rain for Sunday.
