great air this morning. read there was a little headwind though, so not ultra fast. AHFS this year. i wonder if it will effect anyone trying to win class?

Heading down there tomorrow morning, not liking the latest weather forecast I saw. I better pack plenty of beer, this might a be a Maple Grove kind of day.

Easy on the Maple Grove Jab, We prefer the reputation of having rain when there's a national event!!

Can you please send some of your rain to Northern California ??.......

Few years ago I returned to Indy for the whole week; just ended a tour nearby and decided to hit the Big Go for the first time since the 80s...

To spend entire days in the stands watching Class racing at the best race of the year - solo - was the best vacation I've ever given myself.

Rain looks to be the winner today!

Small window this afternoon early.

Unfortunately, they will be drying the track during that small window. Sure doesn't look like we will see pro racing today. I hope I'm wrong.

I was thinking the same thing. It usually takes at least an hour to dry, and that small window looks to be less than an hour.

Looking at the weather map, it looks like that window has come and gone, with rain until at least 8:30 Indy time. Maybe with Monday available, they would move the rest of today to tomorrow, and tomorrows schedule to Monday, like a traditional US Nationals.

I think they would just run eliminations tomorrow. People who have today tickets would be eligible for a credit. People with Sunday tickets are expecting to see eliminations so it would screw them. Then they would have light crowd on Monday. Plus a lot of extra cost to the teams to stay over another night. If they don't run today and they do run elims Sunday, there are several big names in fuel not qualified.

 

[mick]

they have ability to run as late as they want at indy i believe?

I think you are correct but at some point the temperature and dampness may make it not safe to run.

 

[Dragracer]

If they run the event as usual and today is a rainout then the fields would be set by yesterday's runs and the race would be held tomorrow. Could the race be postponed until Monday if tomorrow is a rainout also - possibly but there is a race next weekend and from what Alan has provided on how much time the Safety Safari needs to get set up and prepare the track who knows...

 

[Professional Fan]

NHRA finally pulled the plug. Eliminations Sunday based on Friday's qualifying.

 

[Tybamf]

I am sure they will provide an updated schedule for tomorrow. Anyone know where this would be published? I can never seem to find such updates.

What a great race to attend 1 qualifying session! LOL
I know you can’t control the weather still sucks! Last season they dam near ran the entire season at Indy! Wish they would stop how special it is to be back when they really never left!
