Kokomo
 

How is the weather looking for this weekend . Don't want to leave Florida for a rain out

Re: Kokomo
 

supposed to be dry but 50's and 60's

Re: Kokomo
 

Storms are supposed to move out of the area by Thursday morning with cloudy & 50s Thursday. Sunny Friday, Sat, & Sunday 50s and high 60s. I do not think rain will be a problem for this race. Make sure you take some time to look around Kokomo when the races are over.

If you stop in at HalfMoon (U.S. 31 South next to Lowes) tell them you are from the race track and that Josh sent you. Chris is the owner operator.
colescotts Mobile One is at the corner of 31 and center road just east of 31 for all your oil needs. And do not forget the Woodys stores for ice and all your race track needs. North and Phyllips & Dixon and Sycamore.

I asked a question via facebook about a possible rain date and the date is Sunday..I just hope we dont get to much rain this week..the amounts have dropped off pretty steadily all week..so fingers are crossed!

Wouldn't surprise me,or upset me,if the Friday night show was moved to the sunny,Sunday afternoon.But Iam coming either way. :)

Tyler Kokomo has had very little rain, if you look at the weather radar you would think we would be soaked any rain we have had is dried up due to the wind.

The weekend really looks good and you guys all know if anybody can get this thing in the staff at Kokomo will get it done.

I would say head this way enjoy the races walk around Kokomo and enjoy yourself.

Re: Kokomo
 

Thank you Bob, the more people we get in HalfMoon the better our sponsorship could be. Chris and the staff are very racer friendly so stop in and enjoy what they have to offer, remember the place is also very kid friendly.

Re: Kokomo
 

I am going to the Half Moon and will be sure to tell them why (because they sponsor you).

Re: Kokomo
 

The food is really good, and it is a nice atmosphere.

Re: Kokomo
 

I don't want anybody blaming the weekend temps on me just cause we are coming from Wisconsin. :5: I see it's about 79 right now, then about 49 Friday night :19:

Re: Kokomo
 

I, for one, am glad that heat wave will be over by Friday. I'd rather have it 50 than 80.

Can't wait til Friday. Been off work for six weeks due to back surgery so this week has been rough, but with Friday getting closer I find myself feeling better and better! Lol.

Re: Kokomo
 

i love midget racing and i've really been looking forward to this w/e, but i'm afraid i'm going to have to pass what with the winter-like weather forcasted/ sure would like to see them bump the racing up to sunday, or even some other weekend (should they opt to do this, we'll need start times and info in advance in order to get there in time, should it be afternoon start times)

Re: Kokomo
 

Bite your tongue, sir. :D This is Indiana, not east New York. :3:

(Written while sitting in what is also known as north Kentucky.)

Re: Kokomo
 

Agree, Start it in the afternoon.

Re: Kokomo
 

I hope the weather changes for the better and it goes off as scheduled. Taking a vaca day friday and don't care to get home sunday night late. Would like to hit Anderson sunday afternoon.

Re: Kokomo
 

So far the weather has been right on the forcasted track that being said this thing is supposed to be out of here Thursday morning. The rain we have had will not stop the racing this weekend. Unless we get a flood or something overnight there should be no problem getting things in, something else to remember is last year the latest we got out of the track was ten or a little after most of the time it was nine thirty and the sprint cars were loaded up and rolling down the highway. The Kokomo Speedway will not drag things out to sell hot dogs so you can be assured they will get things in and over in a timely manner. As far as running on Sunday I hope that they do not have to so the people that wanted to make it three days of racing can do as planned. If Josh had a midget ride we would be the first one in line, thats how confident I am that they get this thing in.

Re: Kokomo
 

Thanks for the update Jerry. Things are still on for us as long as the plan stays to race Friday and Saturday. We can't do Sunday. Hopefully the rain Wednesday into Thursday morning doesn't cause to big of a mess.

Re: Kokomo
 

Lucky the race is not in my neck of woods We got dumped on for the last few hours. I had one pond in my backyard now I have about 5 and 2 acres of water in front. Most water that i had standing since the flood 3 years ago. And that was a 100 year flood as they called it. Stated raining again hope Kokomo not getting this much.

Re: Kokomo
 

We are getting dumped on here in Kokomo right now water is standing everywhere around my house hopefully the track has time to drain I know how it floods out there when we get a lot of storms but Kokomo Speedway will do what they need to to pump any extra water out of the infield. Fingers crossed it doesn't get to bad.

Re: Kokomo
 

It has rained in gc most of the afternoon on and off..but we have got a crap ton of rain..the bad thing is the main part of the storm isnt even here yet..I to hope things can get dried out..we will see..everyone have a great night.

Re: Kokomo
 

Thanks for the weather report guys. Please keep me updated, i can't check any of this during the work day so after tonight i won't be back in touch until 2:30pm Thursday.

Re: Kokomo
 

Rain here to. Ice this morning, roads were not to bad but the trees were iced over and i had a layer on the windshield. Sump pump running like crazy, now that it's plugged in. Plumber forgot to plug it back in yesterday after he was done working in the basement. Yes we had some water on the floor. :14:

Re: Kokomo
 

So far my RG says 1 1/3 inches. Live next door to the track. Judson rd is starting to pond up pretty good now. As I just got in. Looks like one more good storm to pass through the night. Then that may be it.

Re: Kokomo
 

Thanks for the report. :6:

Re: Kokomo
 

Keep a eye to the west. We have been getting some heavy storms near St Louis. For about the last 3 hours. Still
have a hour or so of rain coming.

Re: Kokomo
 

I took a little nap before I went in last night and when I woke up the rain had been here and done the damage, I got on my bike took off for work and almost layed her down at the corner. It had rained so hard the worms had covered the street so thick it was like ice.
At 1:55 am we had a tornado warning but all that came from it was a ton of rain and a great light show.

As of now it is misting and cloudy, the ride home was a treat as a lot of the streets in Kokomo are flooded due to the large amount of rain. As far as I know there was no damage from the deal so I guess we were luckey.

As far as the speedway moving things back a day they made a very good decision. J.M.O. I also like the idea of doing it early enough to give everybody a chance to make other plans, getting everybody here knowing they may not get it in and costing everybody an extra night would not have been a good deal for anybody.

I hope you are all safe and did not suffer any damage from mother nature. Now get ready to enjoy Kokomo this weekend.
