With the weather there predicting (NOAA) for Thurs and Fri. night. How well does the track deal with water run off? Is there sand under dirt? Just curious, might make Sat. show?

The track can handle quite a bit of rain, it's the pit area that seems to be more of a problem. Rain is expected so at this point keep your fingers crossed, and lets go RACING!!! Friday could be iffy, but Saturday is look pretty good now compared to earlier in the week! Warmer too HH25!!!!

It's been very dry here to so it will take some rain with no problem... The field fires have been crazy so far this spring.Originally posted by HoosierDirtFan View PostComment

Field fire?????
What exactly causes all of them to catch fire capt?
Control burns gone wrong or some inconsiderate dk bag flicking a butt out the window?Where is the move over flag when you need it?????Comment

Corn stalk stubble from the prior years crop BBQ... It dry's out, the sun hits it, wind ignites it...Comment

We've had a huge problem with field fires also around these parts.
You definitely can tell the difference between a control burn and field fire.Comment

Captain Happy..... the chance of that happening is less likely than your Ford hero Jack Roush ending his flying career with an equal number of take offs and successful landings.Originally posted by Captain Happy View PostComment

LaSalle seems to be one track that can take a lot of water. You should see how sloppy it is a hour or 2 before race time. I don't expect it to be a problem. They will probably even be watering the track by race time.Originally posted by plunks7 View Post8/13/16Comment

Well dam, that sux.............friction from the stalks rubbing together from the wind is what I'm hearing you say????Originally posted by Captain Happy View Post
Too costly to plow under after the season I guess??

I don't know if it's a cost thing or not. I will say this has been one of driest springs we've had out here. It seemed like there were fire warnings about everyday. Most of time I see a controlled field burn right after the harvest. Or they disc/plow it under before the ground freezes. Depending on the weather sometimes those aren't an option. I know in my state you have to get a permit to do a control burn and if the winds pick up. They'll yank it before you can blink.Originally posted by Barbecueboy View Post
Here's an example of a fire warning or what they call red flag...Last edited by huskerdirt; 04-01-2015, 06:16 PM.Comment

BBQ, has nothing to do with friction, or cost. It's as simple as striking a match to gas... The stubble (the uncut portion of the corn stalk) becomes so dry this time of year (especially this year with little to no rain), and the sun heats it up to a very high level it ignites. Add just a little wind and the next thing you know the whole dam field is burning!!! Crazy as hell, but it's natures way of putting it all aside to plant again. Most of the fields do get turned over but with crop rotation farmers leave some fields alone (no till) for a soybean crop. It's not rocket science, it's mother nature man!!!
