I live due west of The Big “E” across the state line my drive is 50 minutes. As of now Friday has a 40% chance of rain increasing to 50% by evening. Saturday is the same but the percentages get better at 25% for Saturday night. I hope your trip is successful and you get to enjoy the races. I will be there both nights. Section I on Friday and Section J on Saturday, the three tier bleachers as you walk in above the concrete grandstand.

I will be starting my way back there Thursday planes , trains , and automobiles haha plan to be at Eldora by 2 pm. Friday
Hope we get both days in and then Heading over to the BIG cars at Winchester Sunday and weather looks very nice.

Who knows if that race gets done by 4pm might make the drive down to Terre Haute for the Sunday night show.

All weather permitting of course

I was camped at Kokomo for four days last week and didn't see any races. Plan on driving the long 10 mile trip to Eldora for another try. If it rains I will still have a good time with friends.

Not only weather to talk about but also whether the car count will be good. Some on the Twitter were worried about the wing count as High Limit is running I believe in Kanas or Oklahoma. Usually this is a pretty well attended race as far as participants. What’s your thoughts?

It has been a few years, but a couple of times I have shot racing at both Winchester and Kokomo on the same day. . . . worth the grind.

I live in northeast Indiana and won’t look at the weather until 2:00 on Friday. I’m sure it’s going to change every day between now and then. 🏁🍺

I wish I lived close enough to have that option
Plane fares & $$$ make it more complicated
