Ernie Neal sent these photos taken around 11:30 Saturday morning. This is one of the highest pieces of ground to pit on the west side.

Racing for Saturday has been cancelled at Lucas Oil Raceway - we will continue track trying and resume tomorrow with Round 1 Eliminations at 8:00 AM. Thanks for your patience.

Even a hillbilly can read a weather forecast.....I don't know how much pressure NHRA put on our new DD to run this race but.....someone dropped the ball BIG time. A huge congrats for your 45 car fields in stock and superstock. Evidently, a FEW of us refuse to put up with NHRA s bull....

Ernie sent some more photos from the west side pits.

The place looks empty.

It's official - the race is POSTPONED.

Event Postponed - Ray Skillman Spring Spectacle of Speed

With the amount of rain the venue has received this week, there is water coming up through cracks and flowing through the walls of the drag strip. With only more rain to come, we have decided to postpone the rest of the Ray Skillman Chevrolet Spring Spectacle of Speed until the August event.

We will begin parking on Wednesday, August 9th, one hit on the track on Thursday, August 10th, and then go immediately into eliminations for the postponed event. Friday, August 11th, will begin the normal schedule for the second divisional event here at Lucas Oil Raceway.

All vouchers, that were available at the Ray Skillman Autogroup dealerships, will still be valid for any day admission during the August event. So do not throw those away if you couldn't attend this weekend.

We want to thank the racers who chose to travel and compete this weekend. We certainly were trying to complete this event this weekend but Mother Nature is undefeated. NHRA North Central Division 3 will be posting more information later, and we will be sure to share on our page as well.

Is this event still open to future entries?

In years past when a Points race is rerun ,there is no ladder.The next round run is random pairing.So why can't new entries be accepted???

Because you didn't enter the race BEFORE tech closed.....And because you didn't spend 3 - 4 days of your life at the track, sitting in the rain...and listening to the same old BS stories that you have heard over and over again.....LOL
