Default To wash or not to wash for the race

Car is filthy from the trip home from NH. I will not be home till late Friday.

Should I wash it in the cold dark night or leave it filthy?

A - You could leave it and not wash it, B - Wash it at home, C- Wash it at the track.
I am washing mine Friday night after I work on it. It is a little dirty from the shop.

I have decided not to wash it. I am not even going to bring it.

I am just going to driver JP's car with Ralph and Chris so some of that good luck will rub off on me.

Imaging how confused Farely will be chasing the same red car four times in one round LOL
