If the track can break even, then good for them. I certainly agree with Charles that I don’t put a whole lot of stock in forecasts this far out. But if the high temperature forecast is 42 next Thursday for Saturday, and it was my track, I’m postponing. Cold take’s the fun out of it

. Were in early March with a wet and cloudy forecast leading into Saturday I dont think track conditions would deteriorate like it would during a day race in the summer. Keep in mind this is the opinion of a race fan who knows absolutely nothing about track prep
As an outsider looking in, do not forget that this race is a March gimmick/freebie/no one else is running event. The fans are starved for action. The hard core nut case non-wing fans will be there, especially when it looks like there will be no rain.
1300 start. 1600 start. If you race, they will come.
