If N.Vernon would rain out
 

If N.Vernon would rain out what track would you suggest going to, Macon for POWERi or Jacksonville for IL Sprintweek?

Thanks,

Jeff

Jacksonville hands down macon is a cesspole in more ways than one.

Really, I never heard that before, but then I've never been there. I thought I was told that both Macon & Belle-Clair have incredible action packed racing. I don't care if the facility is beat up as long as the racing is good.

I do appreciate any info though, as I'm checking weather reports & making alturnitives plans if need be.

Thanks,

Jeff

Re: If N.Vernon would rain out
 

I went to Jacksonville last week for the MSCS race and I would go back.....so I woud vote for Jacksonville.

Yeah, I saw Smoke, Mark Martin & Schrader are going to be there. That will probably bring everyone out of the woodwork. I don't know if I can handle a bunch of NAPCAR fans at a short track or not. They'll probably want to stand the entire race. Oh well.

Jeff was wanting to know about what to watch if North Vernon rained and if you are comparing where he will be watching races at in Indiana all week for midget week then yes it is true macon is a cesspool compared to these tracks.

Jeff, I would go to Macon if I were you. It's a really neat joint....and the racing is great there. I hope you guys are having fun....wish I was there this week, but I'm limited on my vacation this year. Sucks not being there with my Dad.

Later

Re: If N.Vernon would rain out
 

I'd go with Sprint Week if it was me. Not picking one track over another.....

Re: If N.Vernon would rain out
 

Either one is fine,Jeff. Just depends on how far you want to drive,and if you want to see midgets or non wing sprintcars.

Re: If N.Vernon would rain out
 

Is that a track that calls early, or are they liable to try to get it in? The weather map doesn't look all that bad.

All I can tell you is we had a lot of rain roll thru this area in the last 24-36 hours.

Re: If N.Vernon would rain out
 

Would you describe a cesspool??? I have raced at both recently this year and can tell you that macon provides better and closer racing, and has better facilities than Jacksonville. Plus track prep? Macon is far ahead of J-Ville in that department. Food is better too. :6:

Re: If N.Vernon would rain out
 

I drove to Edenburgh this morning about (30 min north of north Vernon) and the fields have alot of water in them..I just checked the weather and they said scattered showers,hi winds and hail this afternoon!! I just hope they cancel early if it is to wet there tonight!

Re: If N.Vernon would rain out
 

I live 15 minutes from the track and have got 4.5" of rain in the last 24 hours.......

Re: If N.Vernon would rain out
 

If it gets rained out where would it be posted? I can't find a web site for NV. Thanks.

Re: If N.Vernon would rain out
 

Jeff, Macon is one of my favorite tracks, but nascar night will scare me off. It has been a while since I have been to Jacksonville. I liked it too, and it seems like their staff really tries.

Re: If N.Vernon would rain out
 

Jeff, don't be afraid to take Chris Nunn up on his Brownstown offer with the Late Model's. We went out to Brownstown for the Lucas Oil "Ice Breaker 50" and it was one of the best races I've ever seen. Plus your pretty close to Bloomington for tomorrow night. I'm pretty sure thats where NY John (Sasquatch), Dale, Brenda, Cliff, Freddy and Steve will go.

I was only at Macon once and the track was in bad shape, But I'd go back there in a heartbeat. Cool little joint.

Re: If N.Vernon would rain out
 

Just got an email from USAC, N. Vernon Rained out:7:, rescheduled for Aug. 14th. See below

" Rain and wet grounds have forced postponement of tonight’s USAC Mopar National Midget and Midwest Ford Focus Midget “doubleheader” at Twin Cities Raceway Park in North Vernon, Ind. The program has been rescheduled for Friday night, August 14.

Heavy overnight rains totaling nearly four inches in southern Indiana have left the facility un-raceable, with three feet of water in the infield and extremely saturated parking and pit areas.

“We obviously are disappointed that weather has intervened,” said USAC Competition Director Jason McCord. “We are, however, pleased that we have been able to reschedule for August 14, the night before the “Joe James/Pat O’Connor Classic” Sprint car race at Salem (Ind.) Speedway. This will give the race fans a signature weekend of USAC racing.”

“Indiana Midget Week,” which opened last night at Gas City I-69 Speedway, continues Friday at Bloomington Speedway and Saturday at Lawrenceburg Speedway and will conclude with the crowing of the 2009 champion Sunday night at Kokomo Speedway."

I really wanted to support Illinois Sprint Week and said I would have went to every one of them, had they not scheduled it the same week as Indiana Midget Week. Looks like I'm Jacksonville bound.

No thanks. I want to go to that track sometime, but not on a night when three NASCAR drivers (Stewart, Schrader and Martin) are making an appearance at a 1/5 mile track. It'll be like The Who concert in Cincinnati.
