I plan on making my first trip to Potomac this Friday, but it looks like it's going to rain all day. How soon does the track usually call the race for weather?

Its a nice little track and $3,500 to win. Not too shabby. I definitively want to go if I feel well enough. I wish I had a pit pass if I'm going to take racing pics and all that ... but I know that ain't gonna happen. Yeah well, whatcha gonna do? (go broke, I guess ... lol).

Let's hope for no rain! I'll not only be heading up for the first time, but I'll also be there representing LuvRacin.com. I'm really hoping they run tomorrow night so we can get some new pictures up of the place and some new driver features done too.

Oh, I know James the photographer up there. Super nice guy. When I was just starting out and going to different tracks just to shoot some photos, I would go to Potomac several times a year and he was really nice, even gave me some pointers. I was talking about me getting into County Line ... lol.

Thanks! Keep us posted, it's a long drive. I just checked out the radar, and it looks like the rain has just about passed completely through.
Here's hoping for some racing!
