I hope the weather changes for the better and it goes off as scheduled. Taking a vaca day friday and don't care to get home sunday night late. Would like to hit Anderson sunday afternoon.
So far the weather has been right on the forcasted track that being said this thing is supposed to be out of here Thursday morning. The rain we have had will not stop the racing this weekend. Unless we get a flood or something overnight there should be no problem getting things in, something else to remember is last year the latest we got out of the track was ten or a little after most of the time it was nine thirty and the sprint cars were loaded up and rolling down the highway. The Kokomo Speedway will not drag things out to sell hot dogs so you can be assured they will get things in and over in a timely manner. As far as running on Sunday I hope that they do not have to so the people that wanted to make it three days of racing can do as planned. If Josh had a midget ride we would be the first one in line, thats how confident I am that they get this thing in.

Thanks for the update Jerry. Things are still on for us as long as the plan stays to race Friday and Saturday. We can't do Sunday. Hopefully the rain Wednesday into Thursday morning doesn't cause to big of a mess.
Lucky the race is not in my neck of woods We got dumped on for the last few hours. I had one pond in my backyard now I have about 5 and 2 acres of water in front. Most water that i had standing since the flood 3 years ago. And that was a 100 year flood as they called it. Stated raining again hope Kokomo not getting this much.

We are getting dumped on here in Kokomo right now water is standing everywhere around my house hopefully the track has time to drain I know how it floods out there when we get a lot of storms but Kokomo Speedway will do what they need to to pump any extra water out of the infield. Fingers crossed it doesn't get to bad.
It has rained in gc most of the afternoon on and off..but we have got a crap ton of rain..the bad thing is the main part of the storm isnt even here yet..I to hope things can get dried out..we will see..everyone have a great night.
Thanks for the weather report guys. Please keep me updated, i can't check any of this during the work day so after tonight i won't be back in touch until 2:30pm Thursday.

Rain here to. Ice this morning, roads were not to bad but the trees were iced over and i had a layer on the windshield. Sump pump running like crazy, now that it's plugged in. Plumber forgot to plug it back in yesterday after he was done working in the basement. Yes we had some water on the floor.
So far my RG says 1 1/3 inches. Live next door to the track. Judson rd is starting to pond up pretty good now. As I just got in. Looks like one more good storm to pass through the night. Then that may be it.
