Eldora dream weather smh

[race14]

Still a ways away but will they run Sunday if possible?

[Rocal145]

Lord I hope so... I'm over $600 in the hole with RV rental and tickets alone.

[GEAR_HEAD]

It's impossible to predict weather. No sense in even looking at the forecast. They're always wrong.

[Rocal145]

It's impossible to predict weather. No sense in even looking at the forecast. They're always wrong. You're right. Last yr the world had a low percentage of rain and ended up being rescheduled. I also went to bulls gap a few weeks ago with 10% chance and ended up with hail and 60 mph winds.

[chathamracefan]

Catch up on your sleep early this week. We may be in for some late nights if rain is present. Rest assured they will do whatever possible to get the show in. Friday night of dream last year ended about 3:00am due to waiting out a rain delay.

[Shiny Side Up 18]

Maybe we can get that 6 straight days of Eldora in September after all. LOL.

[GEAR_HEAD]

You're right. Last yr the world had a low percentage of rain and ended up being rescheduled. I also went to bulls gap a few weeks ago with 10% chance and ended up with hail and 60 mph winds.

It's summer. There's a 50% chance of rain every day due to daytime heating. If the meteorologists could truly predict weather they would have evacuated the folks in Dayton before the tornado hit. Instead they issued a tornado warning after they saw rotation on the radar. By then it's too late. It's impossible to predict where storms where/won't develop. Yet people continue to watch forecasts for several days out.

[TS FAN]

I would say they will get the show in every night. T Storms are hit and miss at best. Summer weather as was said

[HoosierDirtFan]

Stop looking at a prediction forecast like I have.
Go by actual radar like I do.
Last night Fairbury forecast was for rain between 6:00pm & 10:00pm and I had any eye on my radar all night.
Not one drop of rain even came close to hitting the track all night.

[kidrock]

If you want to know what the weather forecast is for Tuesday ask me Wednesday lol

[zooker25]

I never worry about the rain Eldora week. Because they always do there best to get it in

[Dlmfan123]

60-70 percent chance of rain at my place all day today didn’t sprinkle one time lol

[Dlmfan123]

Going to be a good week, outlaw sprints at Fairbury Tuesday and eldora this weekend!

[dirt crow]

Looks like same ol forecast as last years Dream. And every year. Pop up showers. Last year on Saturday it rained bout 3-4 pm or something like that. It quit and race started bout on time. No worries.

[Dlmfan123]

What’s a pit pass cost for Saturday only? Anybody?

[dirtMAN007]

Would someone please consult Al Gore , Bill Nye and AOC for the TRUE weather forecast !!!!!!LOL !!!!!

[golddirt]

Pit pass is ten bucks extra

Meteorologists have gotten pretty good at predicting rain. That’s a lot easier than predicting where a tornado will form.

[zyoung25]

^^^^ about like the time a lot of us drove to atomic earlier this year with a 10% chance of rain, and it rained out. They might be close sometimes, but they miss it way more than they get it right. And with the way the weather has been this year, it's easier for them to just throw a number up on there, that way it's not a total miss. There isn't a day this week that doesn't have a chance of rain on it for my area, just like today. 10% chance of rain, and I got soaked mowing the yard by a pop up shower.

We haven't hardly got a 2 or 3 day stretch at any time in my part of Ohio where it hasn't rained or stormed at some point. I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if it rains 2 if not all the 3 days of the race. How much.......who knows.

[rc75]

Pit pass is only 5 bucks, for the whole weekend.

[Chadly329]

Pit Pass is General Admission + $5

In some cases a week to 10 days out,yes.......always , not even close.

[mcarter815]

Weather Underground usually does a pretty good job of predicting what will happen in my area.

[GEAR_HEAD]

In some cases a week to 10 days out,yes.......always , not even close.

Where I live it is ALWAYS!

[Mason87]

It's a prediction for a reason. No one knows what the weather is gonna do so they use tools to give everyone a pretty good guess as to what they think it is gonna do.

[mcarter815]

Right now Weather Underground is predicting they get a third of an inch of rain on Wednesday and a third of an inch of rain on Saturday. Saturday is a 50% chance throughout the day.

[Barbecueboy]

Anyone living near the coast agrees.......when they are predicting what the storm will do, close enough is good enough to make an informed decision on what we will do.

[Barbecueboy]

Where I live it is ALWAYS!

So that being said.....just plan for the opposite of what they predict every time and you should be good.

[Mason87]

I wouldn't bank on a forecast in the summer anyway it's I'm possible to predict where storms will pop up. Unless it's a front coming through.

[Clayton_Wetter]

But if the weatherman predicted great weather, then they would be right. Oh I see. hahahahahahaha

They are actually right most of the time. It's just a matter of which places the rain hits and misses....

The rain can't soak into Eldora very much so if it isn't actually raining at race time they can still race.

[TS FAN]

Show will go on with little problem from rain. Forecast is not that bad. Old people know these things anyway/smile

TS, you eternal optimist!!!! :)

You'll be plenty dry on your couch, but keep an umbrella handy just in case!!!!

[TS FAN]

OK is your boy Bloomer set to go?

[chupp n bloomer fan]

So that being said.....just plan for the opposite of what they predict every time and you should be good.Yep. Or just ask Gearhead, he’ll get ya squared away.

I was thinking Carrhart’s year around, then I’ll always be ready.

[Madcat]

It may rain, it may not. But they'll get the races in, it often seems Eldora has a bubble around it.

Maybe Tony will close the dome this year and the race will just be held inside?

[GEAR_HEAD]

So that being said.....just plan for the opposite of what they predict every time and you should be good.

That's what I do. That means Eldora will be nice all weekend.

[Barbecueboy]

That's what I do. That means Eldora will be nice all weekend.

That is great news Mr Cantore......:)

[Clayton_Wetter]

OK is your boy Bloomer set to go?

I say yes....

[Mod22]

Catch up on your sleep early this week. We may be in for some late nights if rain is present. Rest assured they will do whatever possible to get the show in. Friday night of dream last year ended about 3:00am due to waiting out a rain delay.

Yessir and I was one of many who stayed up and watched the Friday night portion in the early morning hours of Saturday, and I'll do it again if I have to.

[Snowmanracr21]

You're right. Last yr the world had a low percentage of rain and ended up being rescheduled. I also went to bulls gap a few weeks ago with 10% chance and ended up with hail and 60 mph winds.

Last Sept at the World they predicted rain for the weekend on the Monday. By Wed it became 100% for Fri and Sat

[GEAR_HEAD]

That was remnants of a tropical storm. Anybody who can read a radar knew that it was going to rain all weekend. This weekend is pop-up storms due to daytime heating and atmospheric instability, which is impossible to predict.

[Barbecueboy]

if our weather guy says that pop up afternoon thunderstorms will be in the area, they normally are.

[Jking24]

Been going to the dream and worked 100 since 2007 last year was the first time they didn't get it in. They will be fine

[jensenracing18]

its dream week I've only ever missed 1, it will rain during the day at least 1 day, it will be humid, the beer will be cold the grill will be smoking and THEY WILL RACE! ;)

[Clayton_Wetter]

Meteorologists are tracking a weather system that has a 50 percent chance of developing into a tropical storm this week. The system is located over the southwestern Gulf of Mexico as of Tuesday morning.

This system is the one that will be coming to New Weston. Possibly a tropical storm they are saying. 50% chance at the moment.

Thursday and Friday are looking good at this point though.....

[TS FAN]

See, all will be fine

[Clayton_Wetter]

See, all will be fine

Si, Senior!!! hahahahaa

Rain chances now dropped to 20% for Saturday. Ain't that great????

[TS FAN]

Si, Senior!!! hahahahaa

Rain chances now dropped to 20% for Saturday. Ain't that great????

Yep 10% 10% 20%

When you want proper weather guidance, just as ask a senior

[GEAR_HEAD]

Si, Senior!!! hahahahaa

Rain chances now dropped to 20% for Saturday. Ain't that great????

*GASP* You mean the forecast CHANGED? I'm shocked! It kind of makes this entire thread moronic now, doesn't it?

[WildBill32]

There is a good chance of rain. And a very good chance of great racing. Some things never change.

[Clayton_Wetter]

*GASP* You mean the forecast CHANGED? I'm shocked! It kind of makes this entire thread moronic now, doesn't it?

I call it like They see it!!!!
