Live From Indy......Again

BROWNSBURG, Ind. - 8:15 a.m. - Here we go again! Even though the forecasts for today and tomorrow are for very good conditions for drag racing, the appointed time has come and not much is happening.
The Indianapolis area (and the rest of Indiana) got all the bad stuff that didn't happen last weekend in a fairly short period of time: heavy rain (over 2.5 inches), hail, thunder and lightning. Even the Friday-night football games were postponed until today.

Lucas Oil Raceway Park is a very soggy place - about the only dry area is the racing surface.

Track workers are busy pumping water out of the low-lying areas of the pits and the start of racing will be delayed by about three hours.

The casualties of the delay? The Traxxas Nitro Shootout for Funny Cars has been postponed to "a date and place to be named later" and Stock Eliminator will not be on the track at all today.

Super Stock will get a time trial to open the day's activities, but will only run one round of eliminations this evening.

Top Alcohol and Pro Mod will get the qualifying session wiped out last weekend and the first round of Top Alcohol eliminations is scheduled for this evening. Pro Mod, however, won't get their first round of eliminations until Sunday.

The current "official" schedule projection is:

11:00 AM Super Stock TT-1
12:00 PM Top Alcohol Funny Car Q-3
Top Alcohol Dragster Q-3
1:30 PM Competition E-1
2:15 PM Pro Stock Motorcycle Q-3
Pro Stock Car Q-3
3:00 PM Funny Car Q-4
Top Fuel Q-4
4:30 PM Pro Mod Q-2
5:00 PM Pro Stock Motorcycle Q-4
Pro Stock Car Q-4
5:45 PM Funny Car Q-5
Top Fuel Q-5
7:00 PM Top Alcohol Funny Car E-1
Top Alcohol Dragster E-1
Super Stock E-1
9:00 PM Secure
