Yeah, we saw the weather report. Going to make a "call" Sunday morning. If it's dry as we leave (only coming from Ponte Vedra, so about an hour north) we will go. But rain will make us postpone and hope for a delayed Monday race.

Oh that's not to bad, its not like you were in Ohio or way out of town.  IF it does rain, you know how long it takes to get that track dry etc...Even if the rain stops, its a while. But they do have lights.
