Unfortunately looks like a line of storms heading right up 70 from about Charleston, IL down to just north of Olney, IL heading heading that way. Hopefully it will either miss or not rain them out.

We were going to get a bite to eat a little while ago and there was a drizzle of light rain in Brazil.The ground is wet but who knows it may go around P'ville.

Rained out!!!

From USAC:

RAIN FORCES BILLY MARVEL CLASSIC POSTPONEMENT AT PUTNAMVILLE

Putnamville, Ind.......Despite efforts to prepare the Lincoln Park Speedway surface for Saturday night's "Billy Marvel Classic," rain and a forecast for additional rain has forced postponement of the USAC AMSOIL National Sprint race. Track and USAC officials are discussing a replacement date for the race at the 5/16-mile dirt oval and that date will be announced when firm. The next race on the USAC AMSOIL National Sprint schedule is the May 7 "Larry Rice Classic" at the Bloomington (Ind.) Speedway.

Joe, someone needs to update the website. ?

....and USAC needs to send out the e-mail notification.

Ron, they did...at least to me.

Why did they wait so long to call the race? The weather was looking the best it had all day? Was the track in that bad of shape that they couldn't have started hot laps at 6:30?

they said they were racing tonight so took off and was clear and sunshine when i got close, found out they cancelled so turned around and was sunshine on way back

We were getting ready to leave around 5:20 and i had just happend to check the thread and saw it was rained out, and i was thinking the same thing. It looked like most of the rain was going north and they were going to be able to get it in, or did they get hit by that last patch of rain? Were there a lot of cars there when they rained it out? What about fans? Maybe that was the reason, not many fans. If anybody was there, what were the track conditions like?
