Eldora

If I had plans to go, I think I would take a shot at it. Forecast is not too bad.

If Eldora gets what we are getting just south of Terre Haute, dust shouldn't be a problem.

Live stream? From Eldora? Surely you jest...

I know Cincinnati is 50 miles south, but we've had thunderstorms and heavy rain here for the last 2-3 hours. It doesn't look like it's gonna stop any time soon. Bummer, I'm hoping to see some racing.

On second thought...three hours later...not too encouraged by the radar.

As of 11:45 am its still a go!!
WED (11:45 am) - All systems GO for tonight's Coca-Cola Spring Classic event featuring the USAC Sprints and UMP Modifieds! We are watching the weather front as closely as everyone else, and surely want to make every effort to get this race in. While we are not meteorologists, we are seeing this front beginning to track South and we have strong hopes that it can clear the area by mid-afternoon. Regardless, we will continue to update what is going on – THINK SUNSHINE & RACING AT ELDORA! Gates open at 3:00 pm, hot laps are set for 6:00 pm
