Leonard,
I will be there all weekend, camping in the infield. A little rain won't
stop the races. The current local forecast is overcast on Friday, 30%
chance of rain on Saturday, possible thunder showers on Sunday, and cloudy
and raining on Monday. Highs in the low 80's all weekend. Sounds like a
perfect weekend to me.
