From USAC:

The makeup feature from the 2014 rainout will be run as the last event of the night. The feature will be lined up based on the finishing order of the first feature, all cars that finish on the lead lap of the first feature will be completely inverted followed by all cars that were at least one lap down in their finishing order. This makeup feature will be for prize money only, no points will be awarded for this event. Teams will be allowed to use a different car for the makeup feature without penalty.

And the make up feature only pays $3,000 to win and $325 to start.

Hey, Dick. Good to see you around. Had a good, but too brief, chat with you at I-96 a couple of years ago.

I'd only add that it always depends on the weather.

Avoided the R word somehow.

I just noticed that the USAC sprint division takes a sabbatical from their last appearance on June 7 until they run again on July 4 at LPS!

I could see guys starting and parking. it is an easy $325 for what a few extra laps, leave the car the same and just go run a few laps and call it good, unless you were really strong in the first feature and believe you have a realistic shot.

Why would they start and park? I believe they got some money for no A main last year. I always read how screwed up USAC is on this board. To suggest pissing the fans off with that start and park crap only makes the teams look bad as well. Last years situation sucked no doubt let's not compound the problem with that type of thinking. Had they not run B last year(since everybody qualified) there would have been enough time to run the A. The notion that the teams will do this is aggravating and will do nothing to help their image and product.
