Right now weather not looking so hot, I figure it will change prior to Sunday. Look for updates on this thread. A final decision will be made Saturday morning.

Chance of rain Sunday according to the Weather Channel has gone from 40% to 10% last time I checked. Everyone do the Sunshine Dance!

Fixed

Ooops, fixed. thank you.

 

[BlackSnake99]

Any of you NoVa guys want to meet up somewhere to go out?

 

[jdeft1]

..... Can't make it! Just too much going on at work (really!).. and lucky for me. I've discovered it's good to be the guy who knows where the bodies are buried... mmuuuahahaha!

 

[ViperJohn]

Weather not looking good. The rain pattern looks like it will take longer to come through our area. It may be in our best interests to move one week. I will check tomorrow morning and post update.

 

[BlackSnake99]

Weather Channel says 0% chance of rain tomorrow! Woot!

 

[ViperJohn]

Mother Nature worked with us for tomorrow. We are on for tomorrow.

 

[ViperJohn]

Almost forgot, don't forget to turn the clocks back one hour tonight.

Let me know when and where you're meeting.

 

[Drummerboy]

Hey guys,

I would love to try and make this event as it would be my first and last Viper cruise/event for the season! It just depends on how hungover I am in the AM - I'm counting on the extra hour's sleep to do the trick tonight!

Would be headed up from Lakeridge/Occoquan area, and would be willing (read - need to as I'll get lost out in MD)to meet up with any other Nova guys for the treck up to MD. Let me know where and when you Nova guys will be meeting up and I'll try to make it happen!

- Rob

I figger we could meet up at Ferrari of Washington and roll out through Leesburg (nicer drive but longer) or meet somewhere off the Beltway if we want to hit 495-270-70. Any thoughts?

For all the NoVA guys, I'm meeting Tom and Baron at the Aston Martin dealership in Tysons Corner at 8:45-9:00 AM. Hope to see you there!

I'm there if it's done raining!

Excellent! If it's not done raining I'm driving anyway...weather.com says that by 11:00 in Frederick it's supposed to be sunny. This being the last scheduled driving event of the year, I'm not missing it unless it starts snowing!!! My car is a darn mess right now anyway....what's a little more road grime.

 

[65cuda]

Looks like I will be at the Aston Martin dealership. Windows and top on.... The car has not melted in the rain yet.

Man it is raining cats and dogs here in Sterling!!!! The time is now 7:20 (after the clock change). I'll be leaving here in about an hour....hope it lets up.

 

[ViperJohn]

Mother Nature, did us in. Kelly and I are in the process of calling everyone who RSVP'd to notify the event is being postponed.

Hopefully we will have better weather next weekend.
