World100 raindate

[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.

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

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

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.

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.

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
