Friday night at the track We arrived at the facility 5ish on a nice sunny Friday afternoon to setup the course or the weekend's events. Volunteers to assist me for course setup were Rick Watson and Jim Forsythe along with Paul Wolters and Charles Whitacker from CCT. Many thanks to Henry (Cap) and Marlyn for transporting the CTV trailer to and from the facility this weekend. We did watch the storm clouds roll to the north of us ...then they took a sudden turn to the south, headed straight for us - the weather even mentioned there was a considerable amount of circular motion in this storm including a tornado warning for Mineral Wells
|
...as we were getting ready to mark the cones, all HAIL broke loose, shortly after the sandstorm and high winds - we raced north from the track for shelter at the mall. |  | |
| | | | |
| |  | We headed back to the track after the hail quit - to see how bad it was... it was still raining lightly and there was a river running across the heliport pad |
| | | | |
 | ...surveying across the heliport, we could tell the course was now all washed up
cones were not even close to where we had set them up today
since it was still raining, we decided to g into Mineral Wells and eat dinner |  |
| | | |
| |  | We headed back out one last time to FIND and pick-up the cones... which became very difficult with our headlights.
Many thanks to Don, Karyn, Sharon & Glenda for helping me ...Doug |
