Indy Weather - Page 3

Jeff Beckman · 04-07-2008, 10:16 PM

Am I the only one that thinks this event needs to be moved permanently? I have froze my back side off at Indy more than once, so have most of you. The weather channel is now calling for snow on Saturday and Sunday. I agree we are to far out to call it. However no matter which decision Jay makes, the only thing for sure is, he will be wrong to some. Maybe Rock and some other folks of influence could talk with D3 about another date later in the spring on a go forward basis. That seems to be the only productive thing. Hope to beat you all soon. Jeff

It's hard to get into drinking when it's 35 or40 deg with coats and gloves on just to keep warm. And it's no fun sitting in the trailer by your self drinking.................
Have to have good friends around !

if you factor in the cost of fuel to tow to Indy a average person could say drunk for a week, thought of the day!

The Sportsman Advisory Counsel member on this site....struggles with changing the weather....

but I will post something on the status of the Indy Divisional as soon as I hear something....

Frankly, I don't want to go there and freeze my but off and struggle to get down the track....then get stuck in the mud when I go to leave...this race is too early in the year....

a lot of guys aren't ready...and even if they were....do you really want to attempt making a run in 40 degree weather....I don't want to even start either of our cars in those temps....its too cold to even have a beer...we've all been through this enough times to know we don't want to do it......

plus my motorhome fill up was only 675 last Saturday....right after I paid $185 to the wrecker to pull me out of the our driveway because it was so wet....

And what about Boo Boo...trying to qualify for the Jegs All Stars...How would you like to have this screwed up weekend decide on the winner of that deal...you hate to have some rain delayed cold track deal seal your fate.....Good Luck Chucky....

I may not be waiting until tomorrow at 2:00pm to decide weather or not this race is canceled for me. I am with Rock, who wants to spend that much money on fuel to go there and race in crappy weather. We have a new combination that we haven't tested and a cold track and 40 degree weather is not the best place to do that. I can drink beer at home.

Carl,

When do you want me to pick up the scoop?
