I may be able to make it if I can get permission from the "Boss."

I'll have to pass on this really ugly weather day. It's still raining here in Mansfield and the weather radar looks worst the further north you go. I'll catch you guys on the next one unless you guys decide to postpone this one until next weekend.

If this would be delayed a few hours it would have been great. Rain sucks.

Had a blast! Not a drop of rain for the whole drive. Roads were pretty much dry too, save for a couple small patches. It was pouring at home when I left Arlington but I'm glad I took the chance. Nothing quite like crossing into Oklahoma at 140mph, then turning around and coming back into Texas just as fast!

How many cars went? I just couldn't take the chance of nasty weather when it's pouringout in Mansfield. Glad you had fun and no incidents with the roads. Next time for me. Hopefully soon before it gets too hot.

We had 3 s2000's and one SKYYY and were top down the whole time. Roads were super dry after we crossed Era and we had a blast. I don't understand why nobody else showed up after I reported in the morning that the roads were fine. Why are people scared of clouds?

I could make one road change to not hit the rough patch north of the 1630 cutoff on 677 but that is it! I had so much fun and it makes me wonder why I am not on those roads more. We had a good meal at the Center and then watched the Chinese GP at my house afterward! What a fantastic race.
