Likely car counts ? Sprint & SC ?
Sprint feature sched late, late Fri. If rains come, will they push Sprints to Sat, or is it Fri & gone, regardless ?
...watching the wx fcst, before hitting the road. Thanks.

I'd also be interested in knowing the rain schedule. Currently 50% chance with possibility of strong T-storms in the early evening.

I remember a few years ago it stormed like a heathen for over an hour and damn near flooded the parking lot. Everyone stayed camped out in a building were the IRL was signing autographs. They still ran the show but if I remember correctly the sprint race didn't start until about 10 or later.

Thanks for the schedule, but it still doesn't answer the question concerning the sprint race if it gets rained out tonight. Would it be cancelled or would they try to run Saturday?

The good news is the chance of precip has been dropped to 30%.

I see on that schedule that the USAC registration and load-in was yesterday. If so, we should already know the car count and who's there. Anybody know?

Checked out the USAC pitpass site. Looks like 15 Sprint cars practiced and 23 Silver Crown cars. They took down the sprint practice times but when I saw it Shane Hmiel was fastest in practice. The Silver Crown practice times are still up and Jerry Coons was fastest in them.
