I'm going to rely heavily on the 8 races before mine to haul the mud away on the bottom of their bikes.

Weather looks good for Sunday!

I would say yes. I have only ever seen it cancelled for road conditions limiting people from being able to attend (Meck County closing the park) not actual trail conditions.   

Most of the short track has been reinforced for all weather riding but if their is new trail or reroutes (not sure have not been out there this year) then those sections could get bad.  Hopefully the carpet was left on some of those burms and rollers.

It will be sunny.  I haven't ridden the new part the the old part might be a little moist but not muddy.  It will get better as the day goes on.

Cool thanks! I live here in Charlotte but have some friends coming from the Hickory Area, so they don't want to make the drive and have it be cancelled. The summer series has a bad reputation of cancelling at the last minute.

Heck, I ran my bike up the A-line once just to give them something to cheer about!  I know for sure my bald, er, XC race rear tire wasn't going to let me RIDE up it.
