We had thunderstorms roll in at 2 am this morning but only had .2 inches of rain.
It was 54 degrees at 6 am and now at 5:30 pm it is 40 degree and windy.
They are calling for heavy rain for thursday and friday with 52 degree temp.
I hope their wrong but the last 3 days they have been right on.
Sat forcast is 52 and no rain.

Sorry to hear about the Kids......


2 years ago I was pulled over leaving Eldora 2wice. Back to Back events. The first stop was for a rear license plate light out.....It was not. I did all sorts of road sides and blew into the tube and was not even close to the limit... .001. The guy never gave me a ticket. The next event pull over was because he said I did not dimming my Brights quick enough " Same Guy" Once again...road side tests and a blow in the tube.... .0001 again. I have found that I can partake in some pre race fluids and if I stop after the 2nd heat race I am usually good to go. I now joke about driving 10 miles North from Eldora and pull over and wait for the guy LOL.. Be Careful Out There....... I think they feel if you do not have a front License Plate you are not from there and a TARGET!

Sunny and 50 degree today which gave the track more time to dry. Local forcast calls for rain moving in from the south Thursday and into Friday. The heavy rain is suppose to be South of Dayton.

They now say sunny and 57 for Sat. 61 and sunny sunday:applaud:

We usually leave Eldora after the races instead of staying overnight and very seldom do we ever see any cops? You would think with Wisconsin plates we might be targeted but we never had a problem in 20 years of going to the track.

Your local weather man here again.
It just started to rain here. Forcast has not much changed from my post yesterday.
I taked to Levi Jones mom before and she said that Levi talked to Tony today. Tony said that the track could use some rain and should handle quite a bit if it did rain.

See ya at the races:applaud:
