    Weather Forecast (April 27-29)

    This morning it was clear for Saturday... then it changed to "Few Showers"... now its calling for straight rain. I'm thinking I'm just going to flip a coin! I'm pretty sure I'm heading up regardless... bikes ready for either rain or shine. Who else is in the same boat?

    Smart move. I have my set from the last September weekend. They've been properly stored since then, so hopefully all is well!

    Luckily Jeff gave me a 16.5" rain when I bought the bike. Apparently 16.5's are tougher to come by. Don't want to buy a rear... but might have too!

    no kidding.
    honestly, I enjoy racing in the rain so I could care less.
    and my rain tires are just michelin pilot power street tires.

    It's all water under the bridge, and we do enter the next round-robin. Am I wrong?

    I need a new Avon rear rain tire. If its raining on Saturday (rookie race), I will run my pilot races, finish the race (probrobly dead last), and call that that. If its raining on Sunday, then I'm just packing up and leaving. I dont have to get a new rear rain, or the money for that matter.

    This could put a damper on the whole weekend. I dont mind racing in the rain, but I'm certianly not going to do it on slicks/dot race tires.

    this is a typical LRRS event weather pattern ... might as well put down the money now for rains (a set should last you a year or more)

    I have a set of rains. I used them already (Remember I'm racing ESMRA and LRRS). The front is good for awhile, but I need a new rear. Does anyone know anyone that sells Avon tires (at the track, or who has them in stock)? I just scraped together the $$ for a rear rain.

    why does it have to be avon? no one sells them at the track. if it's just to match an avon front then it won't matter + you can use any brand rear. I've used different brands at the same time before + they've worked fine

    No shit. Sweet. Thanks man, maybe I'll just pick up a 160 rear whatever up there and run that. I know running different tires can mess you all up, but I suppose in the rain where you're not really cranking at full pace, it doesnt matter as much?

    They called for partly sunny and 65 today. I just got home from putting almost 200 miles on and am still drying out. Faulken forecasters can NEVER get it right.
