Is TMez healed up and ready to go?

No. He said on his channel he is looking at 5/16 at the earliest .

Thanks for the update

A lot of people always say tracks should reschedule rain outs. This will show other tracks if the crowd is worth the investment.

Radar shows rain perhaps south side of town right now. How’s it looking Brent?

The radar was right. It is done now. Going to be windy. That will speed up drying.

Saturday rained our still on for Sunday .

I dont know that I would bet on tomorrow (Sunday) happening. We got a good shower this morning, then me and my kid got rained on pretty good for about 30-45 minutes between 4-5pm while mushroom hunting, then it rained again between 9-930pm tonight.

Hopefully for The O'connor's, workers, teams, drivers, and fans between the wind, Reece, and Rowdy they can get the track in racing conditions. Unfortunately it will be one of the rare occasions I miss a home race, but my kid is more important being that she is a Senior and heading to Purdue this fall. This is her Rookie Season for hunting the elusive/stubborn/hard headed Eastern Wild Turkey and she seen that her 3 "older bro's" tagged out Wednesday and Thursday on Indiana's Spring Turkey Season after playing a 13 inning game Thursday night. It's our turn to get her on a Turkey tomorrow.

If it doesn't get rained out and possibly starts late or runs late, I may be able to make the B's and A's especially if she would get her Turkey early on in the hunt. Hope everyone that gets to go has a safe and great time!!
