    Default The Official Wheatland, MO Weather Thread

    Making my first trip to Wheatland for the Show Me this week, and so far the weather looks good on Friday but not very good for Saturday. Sunday and Monday looks bad too as far as rescheduling goes... What weather source or app do you trust the most?

    Few facilities have the resources, equipment, and mindset like LOS. Some tracks cancel quickly with concerns for a short gate or car count, not being critical of any promoter because in this day and time it's understandable. Not this place. First, the Show Me is a TV race, there is no curfew, and they have Sunday and Monday as rain dates, they will get this completed short of a four day monsoon.

    Well said..... They will get it in.h

    Thursday and Friday look fine as far as weather. Saturday looks kinda iffy.... But I'm confident. Last year woke up on Saturday morning to it raining and they got it in no problem.

    The weather guessers guess the weather wrong about 50% of the time, and 7 days out its even worse.

    It's only Monday. I watch the forecast change twice today alone. It'll probably change again by the time you wake up in the morning.

    Thursday looks better highs in the 60s lows in the mid 40s. Friday's high around 70 possibility of showers late in the night. Saturday highs in 70s.... A chance of scattered Thunderstorms.

    Right husky buddy?? lol
    If he actually lives in Kevil KY he is no farther away than I am. And I have no 2nd thoughts about going down.

    The only "dirt" at Wheatland is the actual track. Even the infield now has grass on it. There's no curfew, they have equipment to get the track ready. So yeah I'm not worried at all they'll get it in.
