Weather reports have been wrong before (though the ones this weekend from Fontana have been right on from what I've seen)<BR/><BR/>I just hope everyone stays safe tonight and in the morning and they don't have any flooding on the campgrounds, the RV lots, etc.<BR/><BR/>The Cup drivers aren't going to be happy about driving the Cup race then the NW race one hour later, I bet. I know they don't mind racing the NW race in the morning before the Cup race in past rain delays because they got to take a nap in between. But this is differnt and a shorter timeframe.
