Yeah, yeah.... Eldora's right up the road from the 'Nati. You should head up there if it's a go, SPRINTCAR! You too Bozo !

According to the Eldora website, as of 1:30 PM it is still a go. Let's hope that the window of opportunity shines on the speedway and they can get the show in.

Eldora's website says as of 1:30, it's still on.

Radar is starting to look more promising than it has all day.

I don't know of any Burg regulars going. Three o'clock sounds like a good decision time.

Too much rain will float the woodchips to the surface of the track, in which case they can burn them and dry out the track....Don't worry. be happy!

i saw that there will be no live stream tonight bummer

duel · 5/12/10, 3:23 PM

made the decision not to go. just wish Eldora would always try this hard to get a show in. many many times a day like today they would have pulled the plug at noon and told us it's in the best interest on long travel for everyone. iv'e been trained. being the make-up with Tony being there i can see his crew doing all they can with something to prove. i hope so for the people who brave it tonight....

As of 5:50pm the crew is working on running in the track. Due to the earlier rain it looks like they will be about an hour behind schedule. Hot laps tenatively scheduled for 7pm.
