Wow..............talk about buzz kill. LOL

Thanks for the reply though. I figure I would have to leave my area around 8-9 am. Guess I will watch as the day goes along and early tomorrow.

For all of us easterners, they are on central time right. Great going but a bummer getting home.

Guess they were using discretion in their decision to postpone the MMSA and still be racing other classes. Thinking about the haul involved for us to race there with a good chance of rain sounds like smart thinking to me, that will prevent us from wasting at least $200.00 in gasoline. I was hoping to look up some old WKU friends that live down there but I guess it can wait for a couple of weeks to do that.

When they see the near midget speed of these things I bet they invite us back again. I can't wait to try that place out.
