Yeah being new to the racing environment in general I too would like to
hear about the conditions out there and what influences I should look at
weather wise. What are the weather patterns that are favorable and what
are the weather patterns that aren't...
For those new to the List... Rick Vesco had a really killer article in BRN
the month after Speed week last year about the salt conditions.... His
point was that just because everything was good last year doesn't mean the
problem is fixed or that the salt will automatically come back... there is
still a need for Pressing Riley and the BLM to make sure that guys like me
will have a racing surface 20 yrs from now...
