I hate to bring this up but I was planning to make the trip down from CT for the doubleheader. After watching the Weather Channel and looking at accuweather.com I am having second thoughts. Are any of the local forecasts more optimistic?

As gloomy as the forcast looks, Im hoping for some kind of break
Thank you for the information. As I said I hate to bring that up but I am trying to save a ten hour ride. I can stay home and watch it rain. Hope they are wrong.
I taked with the new President/GM of ACE last night, a decision will be made by this afternoon on the weekends activities.
Friday -- Ace Speedway -- 30% Chance of Rain
Saturday -- Caraway -- 60% Chance of Rain
So far this is the weather forecast
Ace
Fri - 30% chance of PM showers
Caraway
Sat -60% chance of thunderstorms
I Haven't seen anything yet on Ace or Caraway's website yet. Im sure we'll all know something by tomorrow
We've got the ACE Speedway President on our radio show tonight, i'll find something out. And the % is wrong you had, it's all over the place really, it's 30% during the day, jumps up to 90% at racetime, then back down to 40% by 11pm.
Ace race for Friday is postponed.
Ace Speedway should think about making the make up date April 10th, make it another double header Ace-Caraway
Good thing I didnt use a personal day at work. Im gonna play it by ear tomorrow on Caraway. For now Theyre calling for a 60% chance of afternoon thunderstorms
A double header weekend for Ace and Caraway is a must....dont know if they would do it on April 10th since that day is Good Friday. I guess we'll have to wait and see
Just heard that the Caraway race for Saturday is postponed.
It is posted on Caraway's web site now.
