Based on current weather conditions Gas City I-69 Speedway is running tonight (race time 7:30 p.m.). Preparations are well underway for a great night of racing! The two-day Fall Festival of Speed kicks off tonight with 410 non-wing sprint cars, IRA Wisconsin Wingless sprints, USAC Regional Midgets and 600cc non-wing micro-sprints.

Action returns tomorrow evening (start time 6 p.m.) with both classes of sprint cars plus modifieds, street stocks and hornets.

Well I hope it’s dry up there cause all I’ve done is drive for two hours in rain and I’m in Indy now

At GC I-69 and some drizzle passed through @ 3pm and another bit of light drizzle (roads are dry) to move through now until 4:45. Looks dry after 5 pm. Should be a great night although cool like a football game.

GAS CITY, Ind., Oct. 23 — Rain halted the first half of the “Fall Festival of Speed and Non-Wing Nationals” at 10 p.m. Friday night, forcing track officials to postpone the B and A-Mains for the non-wing 410 sprint car and Interstate Racing Association (IRA) Auto Meter Wisconsin wingless sprints to Saturday at 3:30 p.m. At the conclusion of that show, the complete program for Saturday night will begin at 5 p.m.
The A-mains for the USAC regional midgets and the 600cc micro-sprints originally scheduled for Friday night will not be rescheduled.
The pit gate will open at noon on Saturday.
The grandstands will open at 3 p.m. for fans who have their stubs from Friday night.
At the conclusion of the show postponed from Friday, security will sweep the grandstands and then allow fans with tickets to Saturday’s program to enter the grandstand area.

Track was super fast. Was very surprised on sprint car count, especially since it misted on and off all day. The Ira Wisconsin crates brought 28 cars with them, pretty impressive. Tomorrow is going to be a long day, but it should be better on the weather front.

Home Safe. Despite taking a way that took over a hour longer to get there, Which had over a hour traffic Jam on I Seventy. I got there for last hotlaps before the Friday Features. Watched them Then spent break in pits speaking with a Racing Cellebrity Thinking the whole time, I know this guy from somewhere. When Racing was set to resume he came over and said, Im Dave BTW and I told him mine. BTW It isn't Letterman.

Racing was better after dark. Think they were just worried about getting the track run in that it was pretty slick early features.

Oh well. That was a long drive home. Got to see Racinbabe and Mud Packer too as well as a few others.
Night.

Is there a chance to get the list of entrants for the gas city sprints with car numbers? I was there taking pictures but, had to leave during the heats due to a family emergency.
