gonna be weird not seeing Pierce for this or Illini race

Lucas is off this weekend so I think it's possible the team still might pop in. The $1,500 to start on Saturday might attract a few more good cars. Like I've said it the past you never who might show up till race day until cars start pulling in the pits.

[TackyTracker]

I thought that too but Fayetteville is on the schedule for that weekend

What forecast are you lookong at that is 3 weeks ahead?

[kidrock]

Uh, you realize the Illini is almost 3 weeks away right? There's no way to tell what the weather is going to do that far out.

You got that right. Just today we saw rain, sleet and snow all in a matter of a few hours, now it didn't amount to nothing but, that fact is you can't predict the weather here in central IL 3 weeks out this time of the year.

Living in Illinois I think it's stupid to have big races in March weather is just too unpredictable but you are guaranteed it's going to be cold.

2 years ago we sat in 28 degree weather at LaSalle froze our butts off and saw some darn good racing. The year before that in was in the high 70's both days. Tony is one of the few who is willing to take a risk being in late march who have a better shot a decent weather then before the Spring rainy season gets here.

[race14]

I was just on Twitter more than one driver happy this weekend's racing cancelled because of the weather. They said no one likes racing when it's cold. I agree

I nearly froze every appendage off at the Illini two years ago with the temperature at 35-40 and a 40 mph wind and went both nights.

[Highside Hustler25]

The coldest I can ever remember at a dirt track. Most all had salamander heaters under the cars to keep the vitals warm.

Yep. It was also a packed grandstands that night at a near sold out capacity. Cold or not folks wanted to see some racing and they showed up in groves that evening on a track that's usually pretty good.

[Shiny Side Up 18]

check the weather now for this week end.I just did. Where's the highs in the 40s and lows in the 20s?

[J20in1st]

check the weather now for this week end.

Races aren't this weekend

[Highside Hustler25]

check the weather now for this week end.

Both Friday and Saturday, highs in the mid 50's. Friday low, 38. Sat. low, 33.

And keep in mind, those low temperatures don't come until right around daybreak. Racing will be long over by then.

Temperatures won't be the problem. Rain might certainly be though.

[zooker25]

Should be good!

This race is not on josh Richards schedule

[HoosierDirtFan]

Just seen this on the Mike Provenzano Racing Facebook page.
Chicago area racing legend Lil' John Provenzano to run the Eldora Truck race for Mike Affarano Motorsports.
This is cool to see. John has been a staple in this region since the late 1970's / early 1980's. Never really had a whole lot of money but could drive. I know it might be a slim chance for him to make the race but I wish him the best of luck.

Amazing how much variation there is among different forecasters. This morning I've seen clear Friday rain Saturday, rain Friday clear Saturday, and clear both days. I'll just go with the last one.

[allWIS1]

I would think the best way to spend $1.98 would be to kick in 2 cents and buy a lottery ticket. Go for broke.

[TheJet-09]

And for any local guys looking to get some racing in, know that you DO NOT need a 39.2 seat to run these shows (just a full containment). And the tire rule is pretty straight forward, 40's on the rear and 20's up front.

http://www.mlraracing.com/driver-dashboard

LaSalle is a great track with equally good racing. If you've never been there, it is definitely worth checking out!

[Chadly329]

Has anyone added Mother Nature to the drivers list yet? She looks to be making an early entry for the $15K on Saturday.

[J20in1st]

Has anyone added Mother Nature to the drivers list yet? She looks to be making an early entry for the $15K on Saturday.

If the race is 4-8am Saturday she wins. Look at the hourly

[Clayton_Wetter]

Saturday 03/31 80% / 0.06 in
Cloudy and windy with periods of rain early. High 54F. Winds W at 20 to 30 mph. Chance of rain 80%.


Saturday Night 03/31 0% / 0 in
Some clouds early will give way to generally clear conditions overnight. Low near 20F. Winds NW at 15 to 25 mph.

[zooker25]

Anyone at practice tonight?

[Shiny Side Up 18]

Anyone at practice tonight?Practice was cancelled.

[Shiny Side Up 18]

Tonight's forecast models have improved a little bit, reducing the total precipitation Saturday Morning.
