Any of us rubes stuck to the standard work week scheming about the wekend? Sunday at Sacramento? What thoughts have you?

Ashley, I’m also stuck in that same “rube” camp until next spring so I feel your need to soar but if I’m reading the forecasts correctly (from my armchair, AKA-the center of HG forecastology), you’ll need major horsepower to overcome the predicted 17 to 20 knot push from the rear at the Sac on Sunday to fly, albeit briefly. Looks like you may fair better at Daniels or the Sacramento out west. Ward

Yeah, yeah, Sac is N facing, not S. That is what I get for trying to think too late at night. There is another thread for Daniels it is best to switch to now.

PGs are headed to Daniels on Saturday. Bring your heated gloves, foot warmers, and long underwear!
