TONIGHT: High pressure builds in tonight and clears the clouds we had this afternoon. Temps will be able to drop to the mid 30s tonight and the winds will calm from the West at 5-10 mph.

SUNDAY: For the start of November, the day will be sunny as high pressure will dominate the forecast and temps will stay right around the average for this time of year in the mid-upper 50s. If you are tailgating the Colts game tomorrow and starting early… you will need to bundle up for the morning as temps will be in the upper 30s by 9AM.

It will stay dry tonight for the Trick-or-Treaters…. but it will be a chilly night! Temps will drop to the 40s by 7PM and upper 30s by 11PM. Bundle up tonight!!

Also, make sure you turn your clocks back 1 hour tonight!! We gain an extra hour of sleep!

State Representative Ed DeLaney (D-Indianapolis) is being treated at Methodist hospital after an apparent murder attempt this afternoon.  Ed’s wife Ann reports that he was lured to a meeting in Carmel under false pretences by a man who pulled a gun on him.  When the gun jammed, the attacker used it to beat DeLaney, who suffered two broken bones in his face, as well as cuts, and bruises.  He will require surgery.

A passing motorist called police who stopped the beating, according to Ann DeLaney.

Reasons for the attack are unclear.  The attacker is under arrest.  More on WISH-TV @6.

A nice fall afternoon for the last day of October! A mix of sun and clouds and cool temps in the 50s, making for a pretty nice Halloween day. It will stay dry but chilly this evening for the trick-or-treaters.

Ten years ago today I lost a friend, so did everyone who loves IndyCar racing.

Greg Moore was one of a kind. He was truly the future of racing.

I didn’t see his fatal crash at California Speedway live on TV, and I’m glad I didn’t.

I missed the start of the race, and happened to tune in just as Paul Page was saying “they’re lowering the flags to half-staff for Greg Moore”.

I immediately teared up.

My now ex-wife said, “why are you crying, it’s not like you just lost a friend”.

But I had.

Greg Moore made EVERYONE he met feel like they were his friend.

I met Greg about a dozen times at Mid-Ohio, and Michigan, and Belle Isle. Each time I saw him, he greeted me as if I was a pal from his old neighborhood in Maple Ridge, British Columbia.

He was exceptionally talented, and was always willing to visit with his fans.

Imagine how IndyCar racing could have changed had Greg sat out on October 31, 1999.

He had been injured in a paddock accident before the race, there was no reason he needed to race.

Except, he was a racer, and there was a race to be run.

So Greg Moore took his taped up hand, and told his friends, “see you at the front”, and headed that way.

Greg’s death robbed us of seeing what he would do driving for Roger Penske in 2000.

Would Greg’s face be on the Borg Warner Trophy 3 times now? Would we even know Helio Castroneves?

Unfortunately we’ll never know.

But this is what I do know.

There has NEVER been a nicer star driver in racing history. Greg as far as fan friendly, ranks right there with Rick Mears, Alex Zanardi and others, but nobody was MORE friendly then Greg.

Today, please take a moment to think of Greg’s friends, Dario Franchitti, Max Papis, and Jimmy Vasser, three of many who keep Greg’s memory alive.

Today, please take a moment to remember Greg Moore.

Think about what would have been, and remember what was.
