World100 raindate

[macklin]

Ok guys,with the Tropical storm moving in and this weather not being of the thunderstorm variety,looking into your crystal balls,what date do you think the World 100 would be rescheduled for.Take into consideration other Series schedules and Eldora schedule.This would be very helpful for future plans.All opinions are welcomed.

[ThebigE]

Weather not looking good at all. Doubtful they get any racing in the next 3 days.

[Shiny Side Up 18]

Everybody just relax a bit. If they got the Dream in, they'll get this in. Thursday and Friday do not look like washouts, and Saturday evening doesn't look horrible. I'm sure they could move everything up to beat the heavy rain late Saturday night.

[Dlmfan123]

It’s a dirt track.... it needs water

[golddirt]

This is a little different then the weather at the dream this weather is being created due to the hurricane Gordon and darke county is in the area to receive 4 to 6 inches of rain

[Dlmfan123]

Haven’t seen any forecasts that say anything other than spotty showers threw Sunday

[macklin]

Exactly.I-see October28th as the only available date thru end of season.Do you think they would run Monday😂

[Shiny Side Up 18]

This is a little different then the weather at the dream this weather is being created due to the hurricane Gordon and darke county is in the area to receive 4 to 6 inches of rainMy point is it doesn't look like a washout until late Saturday night.

[Shiny Side Up 18]

GFS model gives us until midnight or so Saturday night before the heavy rain moves in. NAM model looks good too.

[Bloomerdirtking]

As of now forecast is 56 at 6pm with 60% chance of rain Saturdy nite with % increasing as the nite goes on.

[bradc]

I usually don’t worry bout weather but it’s looking bleak enough to make me more than likely not make the long trip.

[MI Dirt Fan]

I don't see how the tropical storm remnants would affect it. The track it still had kept it more north through southern Wisconsin/Chicago area then across MI.

[Bloomerdirtking]

Indy local channels have it stalling out over the I-70 corridor and 2-6 inches of rain from 6pm Saturday thru Sunday

[ride height]

We’re probably not making the trip. Sad. Was looking forward to it.

[Illtsate32]

Were gna evaluate the situation early Sat morning..if theres a chance they could squeak it in we are going, but if the radar looks bad and its raining I dont think we will risk it...im praying it holds off...

[champion24]

Think they would reschedule for another weekend late in the year or race Monday? We'll be there in a few hours regardless & ask someone official!

Yes if you get actual real info from someone who is reliable...please post. We will evaluate early Saturday morning before we pile in the car. Thank you 👍

[Bloomerdirtking]

Mondays forecast is much more favorable at 71 and only 20% chance of rain

[lazyifoto]

Day racing

[MI Dirt Fan]

Here's what the NWS in Cleveland has from Sunday through Monday I believe

[Bloomerdirtking]

Back in the day thats how it was. I prefer nite racing, but day racing is better than no racing.

[Madcat]

Appreciate anyone over there updating what the officials are saying. We will be there at some point regardless, just don't want to take the little ones over in the camper if all they can do is watch DVD's all weekend.

[coolfool_2]

Well Accuweather just updated to 100% chance of rain Saturday and about 2 inches of rain expected....

[Highside Hustler25]

Has the World ever been postponed because of rain and held on a later date? Not Sunday, but a totally different weekend?

[MI Dirt Fan]

Has the World ever been postponed because of rain and held on a later date? Not Sunday, but a totally different weekend?

These are some of the latest dates I've seen on the DoD history. Not sure if they were actually scheduled that late or if they were a makeup date. Most generally it's been the first couple weekends in September. But back in the early 70's it was the first weekend of Oct. So those could be a starting point.

1990 Oct 14th, 1989 Oct 7, 1976 Oct 17th

[coolfool_2]

My dad said he went back like 3-4 weekends in a row back in the day before they got it in. But that was before touring series and seemingly a crown jewel every weekend so they could get away with it.

[golddirt]

The forecast is bound to change hourly which has us waiting till early Saturday morning before we make a final decision because we only go for the Saturday portion anyway

[Illtsate32]

Me too golddirt..man I am praying and holding hope, ive been looking forward to this event since I got tickets in December...I googled Rossburg weather and it says 40% for Sat as of a few minutes ago...

[golddirt]

I would really like to make it and get a chance to see Birky as I won't be at Knoxville but I am not going to drive four hours if it don't look favorable. I'm not as hard core of a fan as I used to be I tried to use more common sense now days

Forget it. Not this weekend. Hope they announce a new date SOON.

[TackyTracker]

well crap...

[golddirt]

And no paper

[chathamracefan]

At the Dream this year a person I talked with mentioned a year where he made multiple trips for the world due to rainout. I don’t remember what year it was. Suffice to say they will do everything they can to get it in. I didn’t give them much of a chance in June and they got it all done by Saturday night. If u are there map when u can cause u might have some late nights coming up

[golddirt]

Weather alert just put out in darke county and surrounding area

[Josh Bayko]

Lernerville got the Firecracker in with a very similar forecast that spelled out nothing but doom and gloom, and got it in on the scheduled days. I don't see any reason why Eldora couldn't pull it off if given similar breaks in the rain. Have some faith ya'll.

[raburke23]

Back in the late 80's or early 90's there were a couple weekend washouts and the event was pushed back a full week. However, I did read somewhere last week under the rain date policy for the World that the rain date is considered the "Next Clear Day". I guess that could be Monday or Tuesday.

[bradc]

I figure they get it in but too far of a drive for me to risk it

[MI Dirt Fan]

Eldora just tweeted a weather alert that there is storm cells in the area that contain lightening

[TS FAN]

I can tell you what year it was. 1990. Multiple trips and then I wind up not being about to see it when it ran in mid Oct. The thing was that the second trip everything was looking OK and then after the second heat, rain washed everything out. 1990 was a horrible year for dirt car races too boot

[Cardirt0]

Its Not if it will rain but how MUCH it will Rain..

[Illtsate32]

Wish someone developed a tarp system to roll out with like a 550 tractor, I know its not a fix all but it would be a good start...

[Clayton_Wetter]

Everybody just relax a bit. If they got the Dream in, they'll get this in. Thursday and Friday do not look like washouts, and Saturday evening doesn't look horrible. I'm sure they could move everything up to beat the heavy rain late Saturday night.

But don't make any bets on three nights of racing, or I'll take you up on it, Oh please, yes!!! :)

I'm chewing on my keyboard now and getting my Kleenexes out!!!

[Clayton_Wetter]

They have never run this on Monday.

[Clayton_Wetter]

Has the World ever been postponed because of rain and held on a later date? Not Sunday, but a totally different weekend?

Yes, and once the rain out date got rained out too. So a third weekend.

[Clayton_Wetter]

Wish someone developed a tarp system to roll out with like a 550 tractor, I know its not a fix all but it would be a good start...

Sure you wouldn't rather they just build a huge roof????? :rolleyes:

[Bloomerdirtking]

I asked at 5pm what the rain date policy was, and according to the staff at the ticket office it is the next clear day. I asked if no Sunday than is it Monday and i was told a definite yes. I needed to know to cover my a$$ with a vacation day.

[SLIDING SIDEWAYS]

I'm chewing on my keyboard now and getting my Kleenexes out!!!

Time for you to take your midol and go to bed!

[upaginit in North GA]

Does anyone know for a fact, if this race is ran on Monday, would it be a day race or at night?

[MasterSbilt_Racer]

They have never run this on Monday.

Due to 2 national touring series, they may have to this year. There are no free weekends from here to DTWC.

[raburke23]

October 27 is the next avail Saturday

[Jed]

They’ve had miserable luck with October races (fall nats) but I hope that’s what it is so I can go!!

[Shiny Side Up 18]

New high resolution model shows rain moving out late Sunday morning.

[golddirt]

Rumor has it postponed !

[Clayton_Wetter]

Okay, now welcome to reality!!!
