The delay was due to rain, yes. BUT Lincoln Park Speedway's Thursday track drying efforts were terrible. They let the track just sit there for an extra hour, while the crowd baked in that heat. Then they bring out ONE contraption that ran in circles by itself. And it had to keep running into the pit area, I guess to get the radiator cleaned. The track never brought out any of their other water trucks or vehicles to help run in the track. Finally, at 7:45, sprint cars were called out. Track never even attempted to run in the bottom. ONE VEHICLE to run in a rain-soaked track? Unacceptable. No need for us to sit there till past midnight because they couldn't do a better job getting the track run in.
I was at Fairbury Friday night and they had 5 vehicles running in their track prior to their PDC preliminary night races. And after every qualifying race, their pack truck was pulling a unit that was weighted down and had 8 tires on it, working the inside of the track. That's how you pack a track.
