USAC Racing
Everything is still on at Terre Haute today despite heavy overnight rains, which have left the fairgrounds saturated. We will be pitting cars in the gravel lots just outside the pit gate due to the mud and standing water...

Re: Action track status
 

are you talking about the gravel lot behind the bleachers

That was a tweet from USAC but I'm sure that's what they mean

Glad they are trying but don't sound very good for Fan parking or the Infield Fans

Re: Action track status
 

lets hope they get the infield open. looking forward to seeing an awesome day race with a tacky track.

Re: Action track status
 

Not saying the infield will be closed but if they are pitting outside the track area the infield has to be soaked also

Re: Action track status
 

Heading out for the Action Track in 15 min so see you all there. Rain or no rain LETS RACE!

The actual infield fan area is actually a very fast drying soil. It will be wet, but I don't think it will be bad to walk and stand in.

Any idea when practice will start?

They are still working on the mud pit....i mean track. They got a water truck and tractor trying to pack it in.

An interesting note, you don't even need a pit pass to be in the pits since they are in parking lots.

How does the track look? Any guess when practice will actually begin?

muddy, any thing not 4wd wouldn't make it far going up hill.

How many cars. And who is in the 17 car this week.?
Posted via Mobile Device

They just said cars to the track at 1.
Posted via Mobile Device

About 20 some cars guesstimating. Have no idea who is the 17 car as I didn't see. Seen DD. They brought out the grAder now to scrape the top layer of mud off.

:16Who would have guessed that;)

Well, we did get an inch or more of rain about 1am last night. That isn't exactly the best to get water drained on the front and back stretch.

Yeah, shocking that it's muddy considering the amount of rain we got in the middle of the night.

No earlier than 2 before cars hit track.

If it was the rwb 17 that question earlier, it says brad kuhn on the car. They said acouple more hours....

Tunnel must be flooded, in field people are crossing track at pit entrance.
Posted via Mobile Device

Cars are on the track.
Posted via Mobile Device

Turn 4 bottom and a little of one getting dusty, but track looks good otherwise. Grand stands 3/4 or a bit more full. Bleachers maybe half full. In field pretty empty.
