By who's forecast? Going to get some here of and on. for a couple hours but supposed to clear out this evening and be mostly east of Cincy.

You'll have to keep up on Facebook as its the quikest updates they can give but it's far from rained out as of now.

Re: is the Burg running
 

Keep up to date on LBurgs Facebook.

My view is positive based on what Im seeing but reality could be something different.

Re: is the Burg running
 

1pm. still on. Sun's out here and we got nothing 30 miles east. Radar shows a couple quick moving bands of sprinkles.. Little else.

On my way shortly.

Our racing families are heading to the burg tonight. Have fun and enjoy the racing events tonight. Thanks.

Re: is the Burg running
 

Better check the forcast.

I'm sure that they have the track packed over and the burg crew will do what they can do to get the show in. They have not told us to stay home yet hopefully we can get another great racing events at the burg tonight.

Re: is the Burg running
 

If I relied on forecast vs what is actually happening. I'd never see a race.

215 and all thats in southern indiana is a few light bands of sprinkles that add up to less than what they'd put on the track anyway.

That being said, anything can happen. I went to bed last night convinced there'd be no racing today. even felt that way this morning as front wasn't moving. Got close to the track it thinned out, sped up and is now east.

See ya at the track!

Radar and how to read it, is your friend. Or nightmare :)

Re: is the Burg running

We just arrived at the burg.ran in and out of rain all the way here,from the west,but it's looking pretty good here.

Hotlaps are starting.

Track looks very smooth with lots of moisture. Still time to get here!
*not as much moisture as I thought. But smooth.
Heat 1 goes to Bilbee. Followed by Hery, Abrahms and Moffat.

House takes a big time flip after hitting the wall out of turn 2. Took a long time to get out, but he's out and ok. That was wild. Hughes and Giddens got together on front stretch while House was flipping. Hughes and Giddens will continue. Hughes with a flat left front.

Bilbee hery , Abrams, Moffatt.......Heat 1

Note whenever Very is in the results it is Hery. Stupid spell check.

Yes. But must tag the tail

Congrats to Jarett Andretti. Moffat is upside down hard in 1 and 2. Andretti wins the 2016 Lawrenceburg Speedway track championship!

Ok.thank you!

Red for Moffatt in turn two wall. He is out of the car.

Trannyman, from what I understand. A car has two minutes to change a tire and get back on the track. Anything else an Charles could tell you.

L5 Bilbee,Andretti, Westerfeld, Hery. Hughes to fifth, Beauchamp to 4th

Yellow Lap 10. Ligouri lost wheel after contact with another car.

Green with Andretti in front.

Another red. Bilbee got sideways,wheelies and lands on Beauchamp. Both are okay. Lap 20.

Strange night. A push truck ran over the right rear of Briggs car. Beauchamp changing a tire. Hughes out of race.

Andretti Westerfeld Abrams

Westerfeld wins. Last corner drag race with Andretti.

.038 sec, margin of victory.

Abrams Abel Hupp Hery. Beauchamp Briggs Clarkson and Giddens rounds out the top ten, the only cars still running.

Congrats to Andretti. He has really improved this year.

You wanna lob insults, Lob em to my face. Thats all I gotta say about that. You might also wanna read the site rules.

Im sorry if I sounded sarcastic. I was just trying to give people info on a race that was more likely to happen than not. The forecast was bad but what was actually happening was far different.
I was trying to give my best info on what was actually happening with the weather vs what the forecast said . I wasn't trying to be sarcastic. I was reading the radar, Was it getting better or worse? What was most likely to happen? Was there anything definite that would be a problem? (Not sarcastically, I was right and would have felt bad if a storm had popped up.)

I also gave the latest update on what the track posted, That they were still on. I left soon afterward. I also said in each post get official info from the track, not me..

That being said, Turned out to be a great night at the track, breeze on our back and champions on the track.
Photo finish as Westerfeld drag raced Andretti from turn four to the line and won by three one thousands of a second. I even had to check the scoring tower to believe it. Had some full moon stuff go on tonight. Bilbee looping it in four, doing a piroette and landing on the oncoming Beauchamp who was running solidly in fourth. Beauchamp was able to continue.

Mods, David Spille went into the feature with a five point lead. Was comfortably four or five positions ahead of Kincaid battling with smith for 9 of the first 13 laps over second place racing side by side. on lap 13 something clearly broke and Spille went hard into the wall in three. He was shaken up. Kincaid won the championship.

Dave had the track very nice IMHO, Amazing considering the weather situation and lack of a floater pack and water truck.,

JJ Hughes was flying in the feature coming from deep up to top five, fell back a couple on one restart, gained back to sixth and had a RR go flat under another red.

Grasshopper award tonight went to Logan Hupp!

Had a great night, Thanks to the staff and racers for another great season!

Oh and I got my Kelly hug tonight, So that makes everything right.

That being said, its' the last time I try to help, share info. Probably only posting share in convo with friends still posting (Many do not anymore) and congratulate people.
Sorry if I came off sounding wrong, Sometimes the written word is either written in the wrong way, or taken the wrong way.

See you at the tracks.

No work can go on under red, But when the yellow is flown, You can go to the work area (Staging road to track) Once you get there. driving or pushed, you got two minutes. This is for a tire change only (I think) and for the feature only.

Thanks for the clarification AND your updates.we were sitting right out of turn four.during a red,watched a car get pushed out the line up opening,and return to track during mentioned red.yes,he started at the back but sounds like a violation of the rules.Thanks again for your weather update.helped us choose our decision when heading out to the track last night.

No problem. Glad you had fun. Photo finish :)

Im not totally clear on the rule. I think it was Able that went up in the push off lane, Don't know about a violation. if they waited to change the tire till the yellow came out. Im not totally clear on the rule. Just that you are are given two laps to change a tire as long as you make it to the work area and that times starts when you arive if the cars are under yellow.

Big Congrats to Shawn Westerfeld. Showed a lot of maturity running different lines and finding a way!

Big Congrats to Jared Andretti, John and Grandpa Aldo, Well deserved Championship, Couple wins, mostly seconds and top fives. That's how it's done!

Don't know what the track will choose but Abrams IMHO was most improved, Almost always up front with a chance to win. Jordan Kinser and Nick Bilbee also ran very well here with Jordon grabbing a win a couple races back in a stout field.

Again, sorry for sounding sarcastic, I kinda took it wrong with people saying IT's going to storm twice not good and the forecast says no. Just wanted people to be able to see a race that was more likely to happen than not. Turned into a beautiful night.

There was no rule violation. In the feature as long as your car is in the work area you can work on it. It doesn't matter if the track is green, yellow or red.

Thanks.that's why I asked."learn as you go".
