Hi Everyone,
The weather looks clear for Saturday but we may not be out of the woods because of snow. We will watch it closely and make the call late in the week. It could be as late as Friday this time. Even if it's clear that day, if road conditions are dangerous we will still call it off. We'd rather have everyone safe.

We've also added a very powerful blast heater to help keep everyone toasty in those early morning hours. It will be located over in Lot 1. Yea, it will toast marshmallows. Smores anyone?

Last week was a great start to the season. We had approximately 110 cars and a huge number of spectators.

 

We could have our first DD@RTC day!

 

More like our first AWD@RTC. We could get six inches! Which some women will be led to believe is eight. Woops, I can't believe I just said that.

 

Snowing here in Mill creek...sticking, about 1/2 inch so far..

 

BTW, I want to thank one of our star parking thugs, Mikaela F, she was responsible for those awesome lot signs at last Saturday's event.

Thank you!

 

HECK worst case..I can bring out one of the "Rambo Lambo" trucks!!

 

I am down in San Diego and Arizona with the family this week, and according to the weather reports it may be mid next week before I am back. Sunny and 75 here, Happy days. One could assume Mikaela and I wont be there Sat. and they would be right. Sorry. I gave Nick the lot boards Mikey made.
I read Tommys post about last Sat. What the Hell Happened? Glad I went to Speedware afterwards, and nobody followed me....

 

It's been snowing up here at the house too. Yet, I went to downtown Kirkland and nothing! Downtown Seattle was completely dry until I left my meeting.

 

I might go this weekend if the weather holds up.

 

Even though we will have clear weather on Saturday, our big concern will be the road conditions. We won't be able to call it today as usual and will make the call if we're on or off sometime tomorrow afternoon. Because of the late notice, it will be extremely helpful if you could get the word out to those you know. Stay tuned!

At the very least we could meet up somewhere to create the spectator stands for the first annual Involuntary Auto Luge and Body Shop Bonus Business Day. We could have estimators and medics rate the wrecks on a ten point scale. Extra points for every completed 360 degree turn, 20 points if the roof is used for surface contact in any way, even if just for a second.

 

So I think I accidentally reported your post Tommy. Sorry.

All I wanted to do was say that I don't think this would be the first annual. I saw some great videos from a similar event a couple years ago.

 

We are definitely on for tomorrow. We will have the two blast heaters going so please come out and have some fun! It's very important that you get the word out to others that we're still on for tomorrow. We will certainly have a stretch of rained out Saturdays before summer hits so it's important to come out while you can. Again SPREAD THE WORD!

We had similar cold days in our first season and those were some of my best memories, especially months later when we were all there in shorts remembering those cold mornings.

BTW, we still need to name the blast heater. We need some nominations.

 

I'll be sure to be wearing my official Ferrari branded thermal underwear too!

ERTC is going hard core this year! I like it!
Unfortunately I am spending my Birthday tomorrow in South Dakota, where I woke up to a wonderful -16 degrees this morning!
See you in a few weeks when my car is done with it's makeover!
