Thanks Vukie, I guess I can do without live streaming as long as the weather clears and the Silver Crown teams do not lose another race this year. I will pray for that 7 A. M. clearing someone else mentioned earlier.
Getting a good bit of rain this evening. If it stops soon, the track could be perfect tomorrow. Wishful thinking probably. If it does rain out, I hope they have a rain date in mind already. The year it rained out and they ran it in October, it was a great race. I have a feeling that we will get it in tomorrow, and maybe I'll see a few of you there.
Trouble is, if the show gets delayed by the weather like it did 2 years ago, they will shorten the race so they can make the concert curfew, but get it in tommorow.
Been a long time since they've postponed a Springfield race, although the Monday show in ? '85 or '86 was said to be one of the all-time best ever?
OK fella's, is it a total soup bowl? Can't believe it would be as dry as it has been. There are some concerns due to the three hour plus drive.
I enjoy this race, and I am packed and gassed up! It does appear on the radar to be a beautiful Summer day shaping up over there. I expect a late start (it is USAC isn't it )
any updates at this late stage would be appreciated!
drove through a lot of heavy rain last night from Macon to Springfield. However this morning the radar is clear and it weather forecasts say we should be good today. Only a 10 to 20 percent chance depending on what you look at. Hoping last nights rain translates into a good show today. Macon last night was great in basically every class they ran with lots of two and three wide racing. Some of the best midget heats I've ever seen as well.
Had a corn dog and a lemon shake up, turned around and drove home
Thanks USAC, with all the information and communication in this day and age you really did a great job of getting the word out.
USAC had no intention of running this race as the band/stage from last evenings concert was still set up on the main straight. I do believe that would have allowed you to post this information on various media's.

******* Dumb *****
(ps - can't wait for the next race )
Dude, IT RAINED!!!
Last night at 11:00, my car was an island in the middle of a 7" deep lake in the motel parking lot. It rained so hard that we couldn't read the lighted Super 8 sign out front from the motel lobby.
They might have been able to run the track in but the low spots in the infield & the pit area were flooded. The rest of the pits were softer than goose poop.
I'll be damn surprised if it's dry enough for Sunday's ARCA show.
Really sorry to hear of your 6+ hour ordeal! Mine was 17 hours & 1050 miles. A month ago Terre Haute was 19 hours & 1180 miles.
Stop by after the race at DuQuoin, we'll have a BEER & drown our sorrows!
