NWS says the grandstands at the speedway here may be empty as well on opening night . Now we got a guess for thunderstorms on top of the now 80% chance of rain

 

[WV64Signet]

well..the plan is to not catch fire all my lines are new... the wiring is only 63 years old.. so it's fine...

 

[toolmanmike]

yeah... not sure when they stopped being NHRA but they are IHRA now.... the owner is doing millions in upgrades.. track is supposed to be 100% smooth now without any dips or issues.. it was always a super nice track though.. new grandstands and other stuff too

Millions of upgrades? Our home track got a buttload spent on it a couple owners back. Some group out of Chicago owned it. Money laundering we thought.

The one man shop that did mine has a machine that bores (not just a boring bar) and a automatic hone like a CK-10 Sunnen. He does a real nice job.
