Observations:
The track was in good shape, but they should have started working it in sooner. The first Heat pushed off at 8:15, 45 minutes after the scheduled 7:30 start time.

Even after the track was ready and the opening ceremonies concluded, there was nothing lined up and no urgency, even with bad weather looming. This happened again following the Heats - nothing was ready and 15-20 minutes of down time occurred.

Seems that every race (except the Mods) took several laps to line up and finally get the 1 to go signal. Even the Sprint Feature, with lightning in the background and sprinkles starting to fall, took several laps before the flagman gave them 1 to go.

Anaylisis:
IF the show started on time and IF the races were lined up and ready to go in a timely manner, this entire program would have been completed before the rain came, barring an unforeseen incident of course.
Not sure who to blame for this, but it's disappointing to everyone involved.
