6th Annual Lucas Oil 100 Lucas Oil LM Dirt Series @ Macon Speedway Saturday April 27

[CIRF]

Anyone know order of events?

It's been our experience that the folks as Mighty Macon are somewhat reluctant to give an answer as to the order of the A-main's. Why? Good question.

We go to Mighty Macon at least 4 or 5 times a year for the past 12 to 15 years so we have a pretty good handle on how things go there. Ol' Sarge is highly averse to running the headliner A-main first or second. Sometimes it works out just fine, other times..............well, not so much. Ol' Bob will run them off pretty quickly but he has no control over excessive yellow's, etc., during the support class races. It's just the way it is at Macon but the risk is worth the rewards, especially if the track doesn't rubber up and lock down.

Anyone know order of events?

In the past it has been BMods Modifieds Late Models and will probably be that as well. Whatever the order, we will work to ensure this show is ran in a timely manner so that everyone can either go pitside and see the drivers or are able to make the journey to home or whatever their next destination is in a timely manner.

80% doesn't sound good but, this is Illinois and it can change in a couple of days so, I wouldn't get to excited just yet. Wait a couple more days and see what they say.

I'm going with Babb or Unzicker for the win.

As of Wednesday morning I’m seeing beautiful Friday, rain during morning and afternoon Saturday, Saturday evening and night just cloudy, Sunday beautiful. Now my question is being a Macon newbie, will the track be ready and sealed by Friday night before rain starts? And how much rain can it take during the day and still get the show in at night?

[Central IL Dirt]

Track can usually take a pretty good beating, pits not so much. If it was up to Sarge he'd do everything he could to get the show in (see last year's SN race), since Lucas is calling the shots I believe you'll see an early decision. Unfortunate it's one of the events we look forward to all year. 8 miles down the road from the house.

[Shiny Side Up 18]

The forecast is looking much more favorable today. It looks like some light precipitation at most as of now. It's definitely trending in the right direction! I'm optimistic.
