As of 5:30 pm today, the track has dried out very nicely. We will all need to park on the North side of the pit area, the south side is still under water. The north side has dried out well. There are still a couple of damp spots but nothing of concern. The road into the track from the street into our parking lot is completely dry.

Sign in will open at 9:30.
 
We will need to run a Novice training in the morning before controlled practice.

Novice Training Canceled

posted May 11, 2013, 6:12 AM by President RMQMA

Novice Training for Today Saturday 5/11/13 has been canceled. We will be having Novice training Sunday morning weather permitting.
 
If you are thinking of going out to practice today - please be cautious of the mud situation. I am hopeful that with the slight breeze last evening and the sunshine today the mud just might dry out enough to race tomorrow. I will be headed out to the track early this afternoon to assess the situation.
 
If you do go out to practice today you must Stop at the main office sign the release forms and pay for your cars.
