Anyone in Gas City or North Vernon that can report how much rain is falling there? Want to know if there is a chance of seeing a race tonight.

Some light rain fell earlier here in Marion. I am about 8 miles northwest of Gas City I-69 Speedway. Right now it is overcast with just a hint of sunshine and no rain falling.

I was just at the Track at North Vernon, dry so far but looks like it could rain at any time.

It has been raining for a while now. Not a hard rain although steady and soaking. There are little streams of water running along the sides of some roads. There is a break in the clouds to the south and the sun is actually shining a little into my south windows. If it doesn't get any worse and stops by 2 or 3 O'Clock then we might be in luck. Even so, if they do run at Gas City, be leary of parking in the east lot. That is already soft from previous rains.

I am afraid of what the track at North Vernon is going to be like tonight. The Battle of the Bluegrass DirtCar series was there last night along with four other classes. Someone told me the track was not exactly in the best of shape

Right now it is cloudy in North Vernon, but the sun keeps showing its face periodically. I know there is a chance later this afternoon for some showers, but with them running the late model show last night, I think a little rain would not hurt things. Hopefully they get it in.

Talked to someone that lives around 2-3 miles from Gas City Speedway. Currently no rain, although its overcast.
