Friday has a 30% chance of Rain. Saturday should be a great day.

[TQ29m]

It doesn't take a lot of rain, to really soak that place, and they've already had a bunch, but maybe we'll get to race inspite of Mother Nature. Bob

[TQ29m]

Anybody want to go out on a limb, and make a guess on any racing on Friday nite, in Indiana? I know, it's 50-50, but the rain does appear to be drifting South of us, more toward Louisville. Cross you're fingers, but don't leave without an umbrella/bumbershoot either! Bob

[STPHusband]

So far so good! Keep your fingers crossed!

I stopped by on my way to Madison. From what I could see, the track itself looks good, however, I DO NOT like the concrete wall made from highway dividers. :34;

I hope that there will not be a new altitude record set by anyone!

Charlie, it's been there for a good while, not that that makes it better, I know what you mean, evidently they need it for some reason. I'm watching the weather now, and they ain't soundin any different than they did a day or 2 ago. The barrier your talking about, can be seen in this photo. Bob

Sorry 'bout that. It's been a long time since I was there. Looks like they brought in some "real" dirt also. I remember it looking like second-class farm dirt. This looks to have some clay in it now.

See ya all tonight!
