I am scheduled for the Texas Off Roadeo on Saturday and it is currently predicted to be 100% chance of rain, 5-7" in the area. Will it go on even with lots of rain? I understand that will make some things more challenging (fun), but at what point would they postpone for safety?

Did Texas Off Roadeo last week in April.
They said rain or shine.
Now at the end of the day we had a huge thunderstorm with pea sized hail. We were near the end of the day but they started pulling broncos off the course "to avoid hail damage". About half our group finished the course and the other half were pulled back to base camp.
We did not return to the course but were told if it had happened mid day we would have. Our guide said it was the first time he had not completed the course with everyone.

I did the Texas Off-Rodeo Friday, April 21. It rained ~4" the night before. It seems to drain well there and water was no issue for the event. Some water in low spots but otherwise traction was great.

I remember being told back in my military days…”You ain’t training if it ain’t raining” lol.

Enjoy the day!

It rained while I was there a few weeks ago, and they seemed unbothered by it. The rocks grip nicely, and if anything, it'll wash the dust and mud off the steeper obstacles. Expect it to be cold.
