- Submitted by Tim McKinney BLOOMINGTON, IN (August 2, 2008) – Last night it appeared that Bloomington Speedway was destined to lose yet another show to the weatherman. The forecast indicated that there was little chance for rain; and as the competitors and fans began arriving bright, sunny skies seemed to be the order of the day. However, as the hot laps got underway, the skies began to darken. About the time we were to start running heat races, the rains began – first in the form of sprinkles and later in the form of heavier rain. However, the radar indicated a small green dot depicting the rain. However, that small dot hovered above Bloomington Speedway for what seemed like forever. - Read More |
