I made 1 full pass about 5:30pm i went 10.39 @ 125 and spun on the launch and had to get out of it.
I got sick Saturday night and had to leave, they where scrapping the track on Saturday night and i would have loved to run Sunday.

I looked up a local tv news station in Indy... Channel 8 i think it was and went to the weather section.
I will do it again Wednesday night and go from there

I am glad to here you are close to running Ryan,
Not many T/S guys here are, Brian Brown is still putting his car together,
Tim Kirman will not be ready to go, Rick Sojka, Mike Radtke, Jim Tacchia, Tony Griz.... all not ready yet.

If they have the race i will look you up,

Lee,

What's the deal up there? Is everyone making serious changes or what?

SSTRACER323 · 04-07-2008, 05:15 PM

Brian had his car and chassis painted, motor freshened,

Tacchia sold his truck to Lee Ebersol and bought a Firebird, twin to Sojka's.
So he is still putting it together.

Sojka is redoing the motor. it is in reassm now.

Radtke sold his car and is in the process of updating a car he is going to use this year.

Kirman works for Comm Ed and will be on Black out at work so he basiclly works 18 hours days for a month and i think he starts this week.

Griz is putting his car back together right now. motor freshened.

That is all i know for now.

Here is another good site for weather www.weather.gov when it comes up click on[ nws home] click on the center of Ind. click on the west side of 465 and 74 and you can get Clermont weather.

Mr. Weaver,

Are you all set to go this year?
Have you been out at all up this way?

Roger Weaver · 04-07-2008, 05:49 PM

I'm ready to load the car in the trailer,have not been out.Every thing is fresh for this year,except the driver,not much I can do for him.The weather don't look that good.Maybe someone will let us know before people start this way like Tues. or Wed. Could spend alot of gas money and not get to race.Not a big deal for me I live on the south side of Indy.I just hope they don't wait till people are in line to call it.

SSTRACER323 · 04-07-2008, 06:21 PM

I am thinking the same thing.
I got only 1 pass on the car so far.
New motor is in and the trans redone and wiring and tires and .......
The last thing i want is too get there and have to turn around and come home.
It is not bad for me about 3 hours but i fell bad for the long haulers to get here.

I hope they decide on like Wednesday if they are going to try and get it in or not

I looked up the weather at undergroundweather.com for clermont
Thursday 70 % t-storms high 60
Thurs nite 80 % t-storms high 50
Friday 70% showers high 60
Friday nite 50 % showers low 30
Saturday 50% showers high 40's
Sat nite 30% showers low 30
Sunday 40% showers high 40's
Sun nite more showers
Rain & 30's sounds like snow...
How can a track be any good when it's that COLD.. Plus rthe pits have standing water.. If they call it
they should do it soon before everyone takes the time off from work. And spend the $4.35 diesel price.

I was on the west side at Indy yesterday (Sunday) to check it out. I didn't see a whole lot of standing water, but pretty much everywhere I walked the ground was soft. I doubt it would take a lot of rain to make it pretty sloppy

You all know the weather reports will change over and over ,, we should get jobs as weathermen , its the only job i know that you get paid to be wrong,, if we check it wednesday afternoon , thursday and friday should be accurate... until then i wouldn't trust it, at worst i'll pack a keg and we will still have fun
