RoundRobin was always good with his weather predictions and eating Action Track Snacks!!!

False.  RR predicted the weather often, but not accurately.  Action Track Snacks, however, were never eaten more ravenously than when they got in front of RR's goggles.  It was the only time he pulled down his bandana.

When Lernerville quit selling those Action Track Snacks it seemed to coincide with his disappearance from the local racing scene and Racestud.
Coincidence????

Not at all.  As the years went by, RR's system could no longer tolerate a months-long hiatus between Action Track Snack feedings during the offseason, so he purchased the exclusive rights to the delicious cholesterol pockets.

Noticed the race isn't on Lucas Oil TV. Is that for everyone, or is it blacked out for people that live in a certain radius from the track?

I have heard that the lighting is not sufficient enough to film the races at pms good enough for tv.

The lighting not being enough for tv., is very possible reason. Some years back the Speed Channel televised a W.O.O sprint race at Lernerville. At the time i was told they needed more lighting so Lernerville added lights TV. crew came W.O.O. and Lernerville put on a great show. Things can happen if you want it to.

Yea at a huge expense anything can happen. If it was a tv race I don't know if the track gets a cut or not. And I don't see anyone taking on that cost.

Better lighting or not or no TV crews Lucas Oil will be at PPMS. It will be a must see event.

topic been beat to the ground. Just have not been to a one day show and shelled out $50. For one ticket. Ever.  So take family and enjoy racing $250. add food and few drinks $300 easy. Ya i know the people come on site and say stay home then. Use to be a family fun event. is no longer affordable for some people. 

It's a one day show because of the rain, I guess you'll blame that on PPMS management too.  The same purse needs to be paid.

I know people have different financial situations but when the Firecracker Saturday show is $40 for one division no one blinks an eye. Here you have Lucas LM, 35+ Rush late touring event and 25+ Penn Ohio stocks for $10 more dollars and its a ripoff? Bring in a sealed water and some snacks and save the $10 and enjoy the show.

I know it wasn't you.
Just a jab at an earlier post by someone else that said the weather forecasters are always wrong.

They were wrong. It was supposed to hold off until after midnight. They were way off.
