\"\"<\/a>15 Sept 2018 Kent, WA – September racing in the northwest can be anywhere from a sunny and 80-degree day or 50 degrees and rain or anything in-between. Last year it was high overcast skies and a completed race – this year though \u201cMother Nature and Murphy\u201d had other plans.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The driver\u2019s meeting finished and it was off to time trials for the four classes set for this event. Nearing a dozen passes into time trials the drops on the windshields began, not a downpour, not even really rain but just enough to make a prepped track un-raceable.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>To all just enough to irritate those using the dragstrip and car show entries grabbing their shammies to get rid of it. Such is the waiting game with \u201cMother Nature\u201d.
\nWith a break in the rain and the track dry though it is now only 1\/8th mi. race due to safety then that partner to \u201cMother Nature\u201d reared its ugly head on the first pair down the track with the left lane dropping rear end parts on the starting line. It was a mad scramble to clean the mess and get back to time trials as the window of no rain was closing in on the area.<\/p>\n

A great job by the track crew in dealing with the \u201cMurphy\u2019s Law\u201d portion of the day in the cleanup but to no avail as the rain returned and ruined all the good work to get back to racing to all but the Cornwell Tools trucks as three pair took a trip down the track and had to be a highlight for the drivers.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s hope the weather next year is on the better side and the cohorts that invaded the event stay away.<\/p>\n
