How much rain did they get? How does it look for tonight?

I got here last night at 7:30 and it started then. It stopped some time after 2 or 3. Its pretty wet but looks to be out of here for the day. Need some sun and wind. Off to the car show.

Anyone coming from the west may have a little more traffic to deal with. This is James Dean weekend and both Fairmount and Gas City, among other things, are having car shows.

Anyone know what happened to Cottle? I was at Eldora last night watching the worlds fastest parade so I missed what sounds like a great night. Congrats to Josh Spencer on a good run.

Think he had a flat during the 1st lap yellow, they waited a few laps but he never came back out

Re: Gas City I-69 Speedway
 

The reason Cottle didn't come back out is an offical would not let him ?
He had changed his tire , did he take too long ???

Re: Gas City I-69 Speedway
 

Congrats to Brett and the rest of the Burdette team.

Re: Gas City I-69 Speedway
 

Congratulations to Justin for a great run last night and also to Josh Spencer for his good night. Last but certainly not least, congratulations to Brett Burdette and family on the track championship.

Before I say what happened remember I am just passing along what we were told. Shane went thru the pits to the work area, the rule says if you leave the track your done, staying on the track to the work area is the rule. We had a good run with a broken race car, we broke some bolts in the rear end early in the race.
Thank you goes out to all our friends on and off the track.

Thanks Jerry -- I guess it pays to listen to rules.
Gad to see Josh run so well:8:

Re: Gas City I-69 Speedway
 

I think Jerry is right. That's what I also understand happened. Shane wasn't happy about it either and when he got out of the car that was all she wrote. Then Billy went out a couple laps later, so the Championship race was anti-climatic. The racing was very good and the track was the best it's been all year. Congrats to Brett on the Championship, he ran great all year long

one hellova run, congrats justin

Re: Gas City I-69 Speedway
 

Great racing, 2 great car shows, can't say the same for eldora, so much dust couldn't see feature for all the dust. 1200 miles and a lifetime dream gone came to a dust bowl - sure not what we expected. Heats and midget feature were great. Maybe tony's win sunday will give him enough money to do something about the dust problem at eldora. First class otherwise. Enjoyed the terrace and siting in our lawn chairs until we were pretty near black from the dirt.
