Sports nationals weather

GSlaton · 07-10-2021, 04:30 PM

For the folks that race at National Trails Raceway. Looking at 1100 mile trip and a weather forecast that is showing 40 to 50% chance of rain everyday. What are the chances of getting this race done? Will the grounds be a mess with any significant rain? Sure would hate to tow 1100 miles and sit and watch it rain. Motel rooms and diesel will be a large expense for us so we are going to probably going to pull the plug and stay home.

Not a good forecast at all. I am sure they can get the Sportsnats completed but not quite sure about the points meet….The pits are quite a bit better than decades ago but if you go , go early and get a piece of that blacktop….

Rumors floating around , try to complete the Sportsnats between raindrops on Saturday and make INDY a Double LODRS in August. Sure hope the weather cooperates for all the racers tomorrow…..
