We're on water conservation, too, and they are expecting power outages in Anderson due to overloaded transformers. This is the worst heat wave in 70 years. Racing is a luxury. Gas City and Bloomington are doing their civic duty by conserving water and electricity.
I call Bullcrap, The record is a period of 100+ days at this time in 1934. The record for CINCY, where Im from for todays date is 105*

The power brown outs I can see but WORST? Geez I guess your married to Al Gore.


June 8th. Haubstadt. 98* 105* index Track was perfect all night. *Ask Casey Riggs* Others on this board were there.

Im not debating Jiggs decision. Its theirs to make and during 1988 drought year Florence Speedway shut down a couple weeks and Bloomington went to a every other week.

Really don't care what the heat index is. I'll dress accordingly and be at a track. Better than sitting in this house in front of this box or working ten hours a day six days a week in a 120* warehouse.
