Just as the push trucks began to make some serious headway
on the track surface, the rains returned, negating all
progress made. The raindate for the World 100 is Sunday
and we will try attempt two at that time. Gates will be
cleared at 9:00 am and re-opened around 10:30 am. Drivers
meeting is scheduled for 11:30 am, with the first heat
race set for 1:00 pm.

SATURDAY
UPDATE - 5:45 pm - Here we go again... Mother Nature has
stepped in and put a temporary halt to World 100 racing
, nearly the same time as she did yesterday. We will be
under a holding pattern while we wait out this weather.
By no means have plans been scrapped, so stay tuned as
we hope to get underway again later this evening.

3: So
we know the scoop….the first weekend following Labor
Day will forever be booked as your vacation time –
year in and year out – no exceptions. It’s
the one race you look forward to all year, and it’s
the Granddaddy of Them All. Yes, we’re talking about
the famous World 100! Even though you may have been through
it a thousand times before – what is it that gives
you the butterflies and makes you feel like a kid again,
as you pop over the hill and lay eyes on the endless sea
of campers that have descended upon the western Ohio speedplant?
