If I'm convinced my newly modded 2.5 Rage can hold down the gusts, I'll be there!
The wind sounds a lot like the last time Martinipro and I went...the Blokarters were def. getting more session time than us trying to hold down the
40+ gusts!

During the summer, a lot of the weather related websites are overestimating the wind speeds. I found out that wunderground.com was the closest to
reality in predictions. Right now there's a big discrepancy between what they are predicting and the other websites (noaa for example)

Woohoo! I'll be there, man.
My observations match Tibi's; I trust Wunderground as well.
Buggy on!

Had a "Kick Butt Day" with extreme winds.
Will try to put a video together in the next couple days.

Some of us got "killed" alright! 
My 2.8 Rage gusted around a bunch - still not sure if the AAA bridle set-up is right.
I also forgot to pack my goggles (ouch!) Really got my eyes sandblasted at times.
Dillon ended his day when both lines on one of his Jo Jos handles snapped!
But he was pretty much kicking butt up until then.
Blokarts ruled the day otherwise....once again! |
