Gold Crown plan B
 

After a heat wave the past week in the heartland, we are expecting a cold front for the gold crown. High chance of the r word on Thursday. Decent chance on Friday. Has the track announced plan b?

Thx
Jon

Temps in the upper 40's fri & sat evenings. Not looking real good.

The above quote does nothing to help Kevin and Tammy in promoting this event.

I'll be there. Enjoying the event and staying in a tent. Wouldn't miss it.

As long as it is dry, I can dress appropriately for the lower temps.

Carhartt jacket and gloves, you will be fine.:6:

I am coming. Cold won't be a problem, I am worried about the other. Sleeping in the van could be chilly, but nothing I haven't done before. I also let my boss know he may not see me until Monday afternoon.

I was more interested in the r word than the cold. We can all dress appropriately for the cold. Nothing we can do about the r word. Espically, if Thursday can not happen because of the r word. Will that day be eliminated, will there be a double header on Saturday afternoon?

Thanks

Didnt say I wasnt coming just that it was going to be cold. Sorry I wasnt politically correct enough for you

Has absolutely zero to due with PC. Has everything to do with being positive prior to a major event. No need to poo poo it before the green flag drops.

See ya there!!

Temps aren't that big a deal. 15-20 mph wind might be along with the low temps. Hey, it's October. What can ya do?

I think I've been to one Gold Crown when it's halfway decent. Doesn't matter. The event is worth watching in the snow. The stands have always been packed, even if it's 40 degrees. I won't be there tonight, but I'll be there the rest of the weekend in my coveralls with my pops cookin' on the grill in the parking lot and drinking COLD beer, 30 degrees or not. IT'S GOLD CROWN WEEKEND!

EDIT: Looks like I'm not missing anything tonight!

Looks like plan B is a 2 day show

My bad, your right.

Re: Gold Crown plan B
 

Thank you for all your patience.

Friday & Saturday's events are planned as scheduled.

Pit Gates will now open each day at Noon....Front Gate at 5:00

Temperature's will be a little chilly but were going to do everything we can to put on a great event. With
some of the best Midget and Sprint cars drivers in house for 2 days this should make for great racing.

2 classes each night won't make for a late night.

Please join us after each night in the Pits at the Budweiser Beer Garden. Bonfire/Great Friends/Meet Drivers.
It should make for some great "Gold Crown" stories as always.

Don't forget about the Wiffle ball game on Saturday between the Midget and Sprint car drivers.
What class gets Wiffed?

Thank you
Kevin & Tammy

The weather sure sucks :(

Is there a schedule for the races on Friday and Saturday. I would love to attend, but living in CA makes for a long night of driving. Does anyone know if the cushion will have a two night package?

Wish everyone better weather for the weekend, and look forward to watching on PPV

Cold doesn't concern me, however all the water on the grounds does.Unfortunately local forecast is calling for more rain this afternoon,grrrr.
