Indy Weather

Local weather this morning says 1 to 2 inches of more rain Thursday and Friday. This will not be good on the west side of the track. I would think they would cancel. I am 20 minutes north of the track and my yard is soaked and very soft. Extended weather is getting better. Just my .02

I have to agree. The chances of us going to Indy even if they don't cancel it are slim to none. I don't see any way they will be able to get this race in. With highs in the mid 40's both Saturday and Sunday I don't know how any of the cars will be able to get down the track. I can stay home and drink beer in the cold, I don't need to drag my racecar all the way to Indy to do that.

Indy and April has always been a crap shoot! You can get all the Seasons during those 3-4 days. Early to mid May is the earliest any LODRS D#3 race needs to be scheduled. D4 and Memphis was way too early this year and they pulled the plug on it by noon on the Wednesday before the race. Just my 2 cents, we won't be there.

With new motor (Big Block )etc.....
Shakey weather conditions , cold track etc.....

Even if they reschedule for next weekend will the pits be usable? Loaded the golf cart yesterday and left ruts in the yard, I think the truck and trailer are a little heavier............
