AVG temps mid April in NH

[lrrs313]

April races are usually a mud fest! O wait...wrong sport

Southwick at the end of March was still frozen in the old pro pit section until late morning.

"The speedway’s snow squad has also been hard at work, removing nearly five feet of snow from around the property. The 55 inches of snow is double what the state saw last winter, during this same time period. The snow removed at the speedway would be equal to piling snow on top of the entire football field at Gillette Stadium, 27 feet high."

We went by the track this past Friday (Mar. 4). The snow they're talking about removing was NOT from the track surface, rather property AROUND the track. From our vantage point, there's been NO snow removal from the racing surface itself. But we also lost about 2' of base this weekend, at least...

It DID snow one weekend in May one year! It was the year the May weekend fell on Mother's Day (although that's happened more than once!). Derek was running Paul Gilbert's old, clapped out ZX7 that year & was just about the only NESR soldier racing back then. Beth & myself watched his races from the comfy heat of his old blue Chevy S10 Blazer that weekend. THOSE were THEE days...

May 2002. I remember this only because I had just graduated college and moved back up north, and I was like "fuck this this, snow in May? I'm going back to VA".

Was that the first year of NESR?

No. It was in it's infancy though. At that time it was about a year old...

I'm not surprised. The track pavement is much too expensive to plow with conventional methods. I'm just happy to see the stuff going away.

FWIW Advance Auto is running a special on 4 quarts of synthetic motorcycle oil and a filter for $39.99.

OK people , so who live's close to the track ? what is it like up there ? is there still like 3 FT of snow...? just trying not be to disapointed about the first race weekend... !

[Palm Bomb]

i'd be interested to know the answer too...i'm thinking at this point round 1 will be canceled, rescheduled or shitty conditions.

who knows...it's supposed to be in the low 50's high 40's all next week....maybe it'll all melt in enough time and the cars that run the track will clean it up for us a bit.

either way, i'll be there cause i've got peoples transponders...lol

I'm in Concord - about 15 mins from the track.
Snowed ALL DAY here today, with 6-12" originally predicted for the state - with no accumulation at my house. Although I know at the seacoast, folks woke up to about 8" on the ground. The ground is just to warm for it to stick for any real length of time.

And with the next 5 days going to be 48, 47, 42, 57 and 48 degrees, with both rain and sunshine, I seriously doubt you'll find ANY snow on the ground at the track by mid week - much less by the first race weekend.

I am SOOOO ready for spring!!
