THURSDAY DAWNED REALLY REALLY COLD! FROST AND FREEZE WARNINGS ABOUNDED FOR THE AREA. IT WAS ABOUT 30 DEGREES AT SUNUP. FORTUNATELY, THE SUN AND PASSING OF THE FRONT WARMED THINGS UP TO MID TO UPPER 60S, FOR THE AFTERNOON. THERE IS A PRETTY GOOD TURNOUT DESPITE THE HUGE CHANGE IN THE WEATHER FORCAST OVER THE LAST WEEK OR TWO. THE LOCAL FORECASTERS ARE ALL OVER THE PLACE ON THE EFFECT OF A FRONT DUE TOMORROW. YOU CAN PICK FROM WIPED OUT ALL DAY TO OK FOR THE MORNING AND IFFY FOR THE AFTERNOON. IN AN EXERCISE OF GOOD JUDGEMENT THE FIRST HEAT HAS BEEN MOVED TO THE MORNING WITH A HOPE (APPEARS UNLIKELY) OF RUNNING THE OTHER TWO IN THE AFTERNOON. THE CONSENSUS OF THE FORECASTERS (OFTEN WRONG BUT NEVER IN DOUBT) IS THAT FRIDAY NIGHT WILL BRING GULLY WASHERS. THE SATURDAY WEATHER PROSPECTS ARE FORECAST JUST LIKE FRIDAY. LITTERALLY WHO KNOWS.
AMONG THE LONG DISTANCE NO SHOWS IS SOMEONE WHO WAS LOUDLY CRITICAL OF THE JACKSONVILLE TRACK AND SWORE HIS MACS WOULD NOT RUN THERE. TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE, NONE OF HIS KARTS HAVE RUN HERE FOR THIS EVENT. JUST LIKE HIS COMMENTS ABOUT BARNESVILLLE'S LAST RACE HE BLASTED THIS TRACK AND EVENT WITHOUT DIRECT INVOLVEMENT. FOR JACKSONVILLE I GUESS HE NEVER RAN ENDUROS. BEFORE WE WERE VINTAGE THEY HAD A 250 MILE GO KART RACE AT MID OHIO AND A MCCULLOCH WON.
LOTS OF TWIN ENGINE KARTS SHOWED UP FOR THIS EVENT. IF THE RACES MANAGE TO GO OFF SOME OF THEM SHOULD BE REAL ENTERTAINING.
SMOKEY
