Would think racing around 2. That way people who stayed the extra day can still get on the road home early. Kokomo would have no problem with a day show,with their great track prep. Also small chance of rain Sunday night.

Last time I went to a day race there it was horrible, reschedule of the 1st Kokomo Klash I think.

Too bad the weather isn't cooperating, but then again, like someone said, it IS April.

The Sunday Kokomo date/time also throws a wrench into anyone who was originally planning on the Kokomo GP being Friday & Saturday and then the Glen Niebel Classic at Anderson on Sunday Afternoon.

I just hope someone can get SOMETHING in this weekend. April is a tough outdoor month.

Jill put a pic up on instagram and the whole infield is underwater. Lot of work to do before Saturday.

I was just by the track, and I think Sat is going to take some luck. The ditch out front and all the grass in the front lot are underwater. Some areas 6 to 8 inches deep. I feel for people who made plans, but you can't control the weather. They were running pumps while Iwas there, and it is still raining pretty steady.

Yeah I drove by after work at 8 and all I can say is the parking lot is almost completely under water and its still raining steady I don't know if they'll even be able to pump the water out by Sunday. Hopefully we can get at least one day of midget racing in but right now its a long shot.

Thanks for the info Mr. Funk and BrandonT30. Us cheeeheads are choosing to not make the trip. I hate to give up on it but Saturday might be in question and Sunday creates a bigger problem for us. Not able to get vacation Monday or even Sunday night for my buddy Ted who works 3rd shift Sunday night. I hate to miss it since i love midgets (and i am a midget) but it won't work. Midget week is planned for us hitting 4 out of 5 nights, just skipping Gas City. However, in place of this trip to make it up we are thinking of hitting the USAC sprint races at Gas City and Putnamville in 2 weeks.
