Just checked the radar and it looks like a fairly good sized shower could directly hit Terre Haute. It's making it's way East over Tuscola, IL and Charleston, IL right now.

Just wondered if there are any solid weather prognostications coming out of Terre Haute. The NOAA weather says 30% chance of rain before 11 AM but if this small system stays together it's a pretty sure shot to rain.

We're fixin' to head out on the 185 mile trek to THAT @ 'bout 11:30 EDT hoping nothing bad happens with the weather/track.

Silver Crown Championship Dirt Cars properly driven on a one mile dirt track are classic poetry in motion. Using that analogy, Jack Hewitt is one of the greatest poets of all time.

Lookin' like you're probably right. The blob seems to be losing steam and is becoming disorganized as it heads East. Gonna' head for THAT at 10:30 Central. Lookin' forward to a great show.

See everyone there!

Lloyd Have seen it rain at Haubstadt on the north bound lanes of 41 and the south bound was dry as a bone. Hope it stays dry there cuz we are heading that way shortly

Just a nice little hint. I usually park in back. Less dust gets you and it is much easier to get out.

The weather's not going to be a problem. Jack Kraemer's got connections, up there. He made sure we were taken care of.

They are pitting in the pits. And I was wrong about hot laps, they were packing the track. They are done already. Hot laps soon.
