Ice Bowl 2016

[fastford]

just checked future cast for weather update, temps not bad , highs in mid 50s , of course warm temps means chance of rain , but only giving a 25% chance of rain or drizzle ,

[fastford]

weather looking better, rain chances are 40% late Thursday night till Saturday morning , then maybe again sat night , highs low 60s till Sunday 50s sun. you cant have warm here this time of year and no chance of rain but at least there decreasing the chances.

[champion24]

Anyone near there? Cars lined up to get in tomorrow? I hate rain on race days! Curious to see how it all plays out.

[Hoosier]

Bring your rain gear

[fastford]

just watched the latest forecast , chance of rain tonight , then again sat night , looks pretty good for day time , but I have my hay bail and rain gear ready ,

I cancelled, cost me $50, try again next year. It would be nice if they would have it the weekend of the king holiday that Monday, schools out and some people have a holiday, may get more folks to come.

The Super Late Models are the NeSmith 525 series that are running in the Ice Bowl, and no big open motor supers, is that correct? thanks

[pap]

Incorrect, several motor options, it's just by feature time on Sunday, it's so slick the 525's are on a equal playing field.

[champion24]

I heard,reliably, that there are a lot of cars there already. At least the pa system is working too. We're still planning on heading over, weather dependent.

130+ cars today. I'm preparing for Saturday to be a rain out. I think it will turn into a Sunday and Monday event... The Weather Channel has been adamant that it will rain Saturday since last weekend, with 80-90% chance. I just recently checked, and it will be from 7am-8pm Saturday for my area (30 miles west from the track). Who knows, it could change by then. Just be weather aware and prepared!!!

[champion24]

We certainly don't want to see a Monday race! Did that not that long ago in front of very few! Who were the best supers there already?

[latemodel86]

Yeah, luckily they gave me the day off just in case they had to run Monday. I saw the track's FB page post they had 247 cars today. 40 Supers, 61 Crates, 31 Limited Late Models and 52 Street Stocks plus the other 2 divisions. Jason Hiett was quickest in Supers. We will see how many more racers show tomorrow...

[champion24]

60 crates there already? Wow! There wasn't that many supers at the National for $25k! The forecast isn't good either. Some of us are going to watch the weather before heading over tomorrow. We believe 3 or 4 years ago, they ran almost everything in 1 day. Could just be a long, cold Sunday.

[champion24]

49 supers. 1H Hiett fastest at 14.15.

[champion24]

60 something crates. Believe 39 Elliott fastest at 14.14. Rain in the area.

[champion24]

40+ limiteds. Lower divisions heats & consi s now. More later.

[dirty bert]

Thanks champion24

[champion24]

Super heats next.

[champion24]

Hiett & Cook get together into1on the start. Looked like Hiett pushed up.

[champion24]

Sorry, it rained earlier. Super heat 1 to 33 Brannon over Hiett. Hiett & Cook pitted & went to the tail. 12 cars I think. Hiett charged to the front, with the aid of cautions. Cook finished towards the back.
