"Live" from Indy divisional 2013

Michael Beard · 05-04-2013, 04:11 PM

We're back at Indy to finish up last week's LODRS. The track is allowing everyone one time run today, and then tomorrow we set to eliminating down from the 450 or so entries that remain from last week. Pits are pretty lean, so it's hard to say if people are just going to come in overnight or early in the morning, or if there will be some holes on the ladder.

It's a somewhat bright overcast. Despite the week's forecast, it's actually pretty nice out. The wind is very close to the conditions that we experienced first round last week, a 3-5 mph crosstail. The barometer is down another .13 from last week. My pass was pretty close to first round last week. It's tried to spit a tiny bit, but no real holdups. The larger area of weather is moving north and west of us.

Almost everyone I've talked to today has asked about the Northern Class Nationals. We are now one year away from the big S/SS extravaganza to be held at National Trail Raceway in Hebron, OH! I started putting together a preliminary flyer last night so I'll be able to flesh out some details and have something physical in hand to better explain to prospective sponsors and advertisers how the program is laid out.

I know you have already given the dates, but could you one more time. I would appreciate an opportunity to shoot from the rail if at all possible.

Thanks, Butch

What is the weather today?

JeremyDuncan · 05-05-2013, 09:38 AM

Overcast right now. Drying the track right now. There were only 250 or so cars here yesterday. Unless a bunch of racers come in today it will not take long to get it in.

Starting to drizzle again, just enough to keep everything wet.

We need some sunshine!

The way the weather radar looks , it is not going to be good for a while. Tom

Hope you get it in. Real pain if it gets delayed again.
