So this is just a morning event for the Mustang and Camaro thing??? That sucks for us driving long distances...
Good thing my GF is 20 mins from Etown, I dont know if I would make a trip for just a race that long, and only race in the morning.
Ill still be there, running!

That sucks! I've been looking forward to this for a while and now it looks like rain. I've been watching the weather for the last few days and at about wednesday they said it was going to be cloudy, then yesterday they said there was a slight chance of scattered thunderstorms, but now there is a 70% chance of thunderstorms throughout the day! ARGH!
I live two hours away so if there is any real chance of the race/show not going on i won't be there unfortunately.

ive been looking forward to this for awhile too.. i realize that if the track is wet there wont be any racing, but would they cancel the show too.?? i was planning on having my car in the show, and while is still far from a show car i have been working really hard these past few weeks to get it to where it is now and i would hate for it to be canceled because of rain 
From what I understand, the events won't be cancelled with just a little drizzle... but I'm sure attendance would be low. The track will only cancel if it's actually raining hard... and if that does happen, CJMF will have a rain date announced for our show.

With on/off rain the track has a better chance for racing as they have track dryers but most who have show cars aren't gonna attend on a rainy day.
We're set with whatever the track officials tell us to do. I'll be there early, but the only way to know for sure is to show up and see what happens...

yea thats easy for a New Jersey resident to say. Ehhh..i'll just play it by ear...worst comes to worst i will just get drunk and drive off of a cliff i guess
Best thing to do is watch the weather channel. I haven't checked yet today, but the local radio forecast is hit and miss for the weather. Then again, the accuracy of these guys isn't too good.

This sucks, its about a 3 hour drive from me, and I will have the slicks, a set of spare axles, tools and everything in the hatch... God I hope the GF lets me stay tonight so I dont have to drive down tomorrow in the rain!

The problem with that is that even if it doesn't rain hard most of the show cars wont show up and the place will be next to empty. If i lived close i might show up to "see what happens", but with a 2 hour drive, tolls, gas, and admission price i can't see wasting all of that to see what happens.
According to http://www.weather.com/weather/hourbyhour/USNJ0381?begHour=9&begDay=206
There is a 50-60% chance of thunderstorms throughout the day. It was 70% this morning for most of the day so maybe things seem to be getting better. I guess we'll all have to see what's up in the morning and go from there.
Even though every channel has said a different thing (and weather.com says its going to rain the entire day!) i saw one weather report on the 11pm news and it said that there would be light rain in the morning, and dry for the rest of the day, so hopefully everything will work out.
Everyone call Etown in the morning to see whether the track is open or not

im so pissed this was going to be the first show i entered. but i dindt want towake up at like 5AM to start cleaning the car and then have it rain. lord knows if i went it woulda poured because i am a H E X. hope you guys had fun.
hope you guys had fun.I went. There were only about (like vidmaster said) 30 cars running down the track, and maybe about the same in the showcar area. I guess with the expected rain nobody showed up. I wasn't going to go myself but when the time came i called etown to see if they were open, and checked the weather. Everything seemed good so i went. On the way down (i have a 2 hour drive) we hit rain, but by the time we got to etown the rain had stopped and the track was dry.
All i can say is for those who did race they must have had a great time because it seemed like everyone was getting a TON of runs in. Unfortunately for the spectators we had to watch those same cars going over and over again. I didn't run because i wound up taking my little brother with me.....his first time seeing a dragrace, and he loved it!
I took some pictures that i'll post here when i get them uploaded some time tonight or tomorrow.
