Hot Weather for Kokomo & Beyond

Stevensville Mike · 7/21/16, 12:40 PM

I realize there is big doubleheader at Kokomo this weekend with the All Star Sprints, but tracks are starting to cancel the weekend programs due to heat. Hartford Speedway and Kalamazoo Speedway up here are two of them. There were some mid-week cancellations in Minnesota, too.

Not to be a pessimist, but it will be very hot this weekend. If the races go on, which I truly hope they do, please take actions to ensure your health and well being and keep hydrated. Beer, although good on a hot day, can really take it out of you in extreme heat.

Let's hope for the best!

It is very hot here in Kokomo today, plenty of water and use your head. I am staying close to the air and the pool this week.

Add Spartan Speedway to Fridays list of cancellations. Hopefully they can re-schedule the MTS show.

I see Fremont now canceled. This is the first track that is doing so that was supposed to run Saturday Night.

If Kokomo is a go, I wonder if this will change the car count Saturday Night? I guess it depends on how hot the heat gets in the kitchen.

Montpelier also pushed the start time back for the Saturday MSCS show. Hot laps are now at 6:00pm, racing at 7:30pm

I'm not sure it helps counts unless guys saw it and decided to hit Kokomo for 2 nights instead of running Attica for 1. Attica runs and I believe it is fast.

Dirt classic makes it hard to run Sat only. Sat heats are set by Friday night points.

Stay hydrated and drink lots of beer! 😂
