Just got off the phone with the track and they have moved everything to Sunday, smart move in my opinion due to the forecast for tonight. Thank you T.H. for thinking about the safety of the race fans. :respect:

I guess this conflicts with Kokomo, but you do what you have to do.

Severe Midwest Weather Threat Moves “Don Smith Classic” to Sunday, May 4th

(Terre Haute) Out of concern for the safety and well being of race fans and race teams that will travel to Terre Haute for the 2008 Action Track season opener DHK Promotions has decided to move the Clabber Girl Don Smith Classic presented by ISU from it’s scheduled Friday night date to the scheduled rain date of this Sunday, May 4th.

“It’s one thing when you have a slight threat of rain or a scattered thunderstorm, but WTHI-TV Meteorologist David Wire and the National Weather Service both say the same thing...that it could be a very dangerous afternoon and evening in the Wabash Valley,”said DHK Promotions President Mike King. “We have more than 40 Midwest Sprint Car Series teams that will be pulling race trailers to Terre Haute, along with thousands of fans set to attend that could be put in harms way by the weather. That’s a risk we cannot afford to take, so we’ve opted to make the call early to keep everyone safe”

Two rounds of serious weather are being predicted for the Midwest, the first scheduled tohit by early afternoon and the second in the evening. “Don’t get me wrong,” said King. “We want to race Friday night, but DHK Promotions needs to be smart about what appears to be an imminent weather situation. The good news is that we have a rain date in place (Sunday) and the forecast is looking great, sowe just wait an extra 40 hours.”

Sunday (May 4) Don Smith Classic schedule:
Pit Gates open at Noon (EDT)
Ticket Office opens at 1:00 p.m.
Stands/Infield Opens at 2:00 p.m.
Engine Warm-Up at 3:30 p.m.
Hot Laps at 4:00 p.m.
Heat Races at 5:00 p.m.

Smart move by all parties concerned:thumb Bloomington had rain last night and just a few minutes ago, lets hope for the best.

Re: T.H. Stormed out
 

Looks like it will be the Jack Hewitt sprints and midgets @ Kokomo for me on Sunday. :thumb:thumb

Re: T.H. Stormed out
 

Kokomo for me also! Save me $100 in gas, plus get to see Sprints and Midgets!

Kokomo :thumb

Re: T.H. Stormed out
 

Which teams going to be at which track?

Re: T.H. Stormed out
 

Would like to find out where Clayton and Jon are running sunday night any help is appreciated

Re: T.H. Stormed out
 

As much as I'd like to see the "new" THAT, I'll be heading up I65 to Kokomo to watch sprints and midgets.

As for which teams support which race there will probably be a couple of determining factors:

-whether the team is running for MSCS points
-whether the team has the motor for a big track like THAT
-how much fuel it will take to get to THAT vs. Kokomo

I'm sure both will have fine fields of cars

Re: T.H. Stormed out
 

Good call by Mike King at THAT. It is pouring rain in Terre Haute and a second larger wave of rain is coming in behind it.

Re: T.H. Stormed out
 

LOOKS LIKE I WILL HAVE TO DRIVE THE TWO MILE TO THAT ( MAY RIDE MY BICYCLE) :Steer

Re: T.H. Stormed out
 

A cruel blow to the much anticipated re-opening of THAT. Will undoubtably cost both tracks fans and cars. I had planned to attend both, but I want to support THAT, and it is also several miles/hours closer. Retro stuff...a Sunday daylight show at Terre Haute. I heard one of the weatherguessers say this is the fourth consecutive Fri/Sat with inclement or threatening weather.
