Don't know if it will rain yellow or not but I hope its not too bad. I don't enjoy watching mud races and darn sure don't like riding them. We will see what tomorrow will bring.

The parking area is going to be a disaster if it rains! I envision cars sliding everywhere on those hills. Wish I could see if for myself, but I don't think it's worth the 13 hour drive after attending last year.

I went to a few rock festivals back in the day in England when the potapots overflowed so bad it looked like it had "rained yellow and brown". Wish we had those numbers at our nationals. Too much money is a good problem.

We were there for the regional a few weeks ago and were lucky to have no rain but if it would have it would have been like snot. My 4wd would have needed a dozer to get my toy hauler out for sure as we were parked over close to the big triple.

Watched Weinert throw mud all over the pits in a rental car at Rio Bravo. With his head stickin' out of the sun roof hitting the gas with his cane. White lab coated Asian engineers were not happy. I was.

The forecast has looked like this almost daily for the better part of 2 weeks. I can only recall 1 day when we had a thunderstorm. A majority of the time its been rain (sometimes heavy) lasting about an hour or so.

We've had several days with similar forecasts where we received either nothing at all or a short period of light rain. I'm not saying it won't be a washout, but I wouldn't bet on it based on the forecast.

This track gets interesting with an hour or two of heavy rain. They bring in lots of loamy dirt that absorbs water pretty well, but underneath the loam is a hard base that gets VERY slick when it's wet. Some sections of the track have less of the loamy dirt and those sections are especially gnarly when its a mudder.

It is muddy creek!

ha!

In all seriousness I agree... But you know what. That track looks like it'd be a bitch if it's really really wet, clay, would be slippery and knotty as shit!
