Just got home from the speedway. They completed the 3 sprint heats and the thundercar heats. They had pushed off the sprint cars for the feature when the rain picked up and heavy lightning appeared. They pulled the cars off of the track into the pit area and asked everyone to leave the speedway and get to their vehicles due to the lightning.

Heavier rain with more thunder and lightning so they postponed the event with an announcement forthcoming. In looking at the radar, please take precautions this evening and over night. Another long band of storms crossing the Illinois-Indiana state line with the leading edge mostly red. Storms all over the area with tornado possiblities in Southern Indiana. Stay safe.

I didn't hear the postponement announcement, but figured it was coming. Pretty easy drive back to Indy, considering.

Man I think we were in for a good feature. Lot of good cars there last night. In qualifying 18 cars were under the 11 second barrier. Basically 18 within 3/4 of a second. Pretty stout field. Heat races weren't bad. Lot of action in the back of each race. I do want to thank Anderson speedway for attempting to run this show. We were literally 20-30min. from having this thing in. On a night when most other tracks would have cancelled, they gave it a shot. They pushed the show tring to get eveything in. The first heat race started at 7:03pm. Thats not pushing the cars off, that dropping the green flag to start the race. O ya and that was after 1 bad start. :2: Hope all of the drivers are able to make it back for the rain date.
