I have not been able to race much the last few years but I was planning on attending this event. I guess this dog will stay home and on the porch.

A little history for the youngin's on this site. Back about '75, '76, or' 77(too gray to remember), points meets were two days and included the pro's. On Saturday it was 60's and overcast but by midnight it started raining sideways while the temp's dropped. At about 10:00 Sunday, Bob Daniels met with the pro's to see what would work best for them as there were the other points meets, about 10 National events, and match races(the sportsman racer was back-seat even back then). The pro-stockers and funny cars pitted on the West Side with us. Around noon the tractors arrived to start pulling out the heavy, high-dollar chaparral trailers. Later that afternoon around Fort Wayne, those of us caravanning back to Michigan were pushing snow with the motorhomes. So yes, it does snow in Indiana in April.

I think it was that same year, we went to Edgewater three times to get the points meet in.

What a headache for a DD when the IRP and the sanctioning body have already scheduled events to work around. He is likely rolling the dice. When I go to mass Sunday morning, I'll pray for a dry track for those who go to IRP.
