Anyone in the Gas City area getting a favorable forecast for Wednesday? Lol. I'm seeing 60% chance of rain on the weather app on my phone.

Forecast for this area is 55-65% chance of rain both tomorrow and Wednesday. They can still be wrong but the odds aren't great that they are going to miss it that bad. Doesn't look good for racing to say the least.

Last year we watched a great race with storm clouds all around.

A little early for that I would say. I am 30 miles south of Gas City and it is currently raining here now for the second time today, but we haven't had much in the rain gauge at all. IF Gas City has had about the same amount of rain as we have had here, it certainly wouldn't stop the show.

Now with that being said. Overnight tonight into tomorrow will tell the tale. They are still calling for a 55% chance of rain overnight and into tomorrow. How much rain that brings is anyone's guess. I wouldn't call it off just yet. See what tomorrow brings.
