How about tire warmers?
So what happens if there is some snow on the track? Do we sit around and wait for it to melt or ... ?
Hope this is not a silly question, but I am sure I'm not the only one wondering this.
Then I'll call Famous Dave's and see if they can deliver the food early.
Let's hope for the best.
Edit: I'll be heading to the track at 6:00 AM.
Edit again: Latest weather
Friday Night, Mar 16
Low: 24 °F RealFeel®: 15 °F
Evening snow with little or no accumulation; otherwise, cloudy, breezy and quite cold

Comments of the weather I live 10 miles west of Frederick MD and we have 3 inches of snow on the roads. I think there is a big difference in the conditions from DC to out west. 70 west is wet slushy snow west of Frederick. Be careful.
It is snowing and sleeting in Clifton now. It is just snow at Rt 234 and I 66.

Oh man, it's going to be fun getting to Winchester tonight...
Ok I (and another chapter member) decided to skip on heading out there tonight and wait until tomorrow morning. We called the hotel and they are at about 4 inches and counting.
Steven, is there a chance you'll keep us updated tomorrow morning before you're heading out on the status of things? We're planning on heading out in the morning, maybe they would have plowed some by then.
Of course. If I hear anything while I'm on the way I'll turn around and post something.
School is ON.
If the conditions are safe, we will drive. If they are unsafe, we will not drive. We will just deal with the situation and we will not sacrifice safety.
Check the NCC website before you leave.
Just got to the hotel, the roads are not bad, pretty clear. Judging by amount of snow on cars on the parking lot, they did get 3-4". Could be worse going to the track tomorrow morning :donno

Yellow M3, should be somewhere near RRT's trailer.

Well after 4 cars off the road in a 5 mile stretch, traffic at a standstill on I 70, I checked into the Holiday Inn in Fredrick at 5:00. Not worth the traffic, snowfall, low visibilty and certainly didn't need for bragging right to having made it to Winchester tonight in this weather, especially towing a trailer.
See you tomorrow and hope the track conditions will be worth the effort to get there.

I am more worried at this point about the roads that lead to the track than the highways, rt 7 is it? If they are not plowed I have no idea how I can get through them with Kumho MXs.
Also, do you guys suggest leaving early (6ish) or a little later so we can get some sort of word about conditions leading to and on the track. I am assuming since there are at least 4 inches on the track itself at this point there is no way anyone going to be racing on that at 9am? I hope these questions are not redundant/annoying but I am communicating with a few others that are going and they are as clueless as I am on what is the best/safest course of action.
Edit: there are 5 inches at this point in Winchester.

Sounds simple enough. And there's bar-b-q!

OMG. Snowing like hell in Gaithersburg at 7:43 PM. With the temps dropping thru the nite, I can't see how there will not be snow and ice on the track tomorrow. I wonder... what does BSR do in a situation like this? They don't salt the track do they?
This will be an adventure, for sure. Is there a run group for cars with tire chains?
