I was bummed when they cancelled. It was going to be my first time to go. Looks like they made the right call. Can you imagine the nightmare if it would have rained out after hot laps. Rescheduling would have been a nightmare. Then how do you do rainchecks? Think it was the right call.
Just from a purely selfish point of view I much preferred that this race was run the Tuesday before Labor Day Weekend like it was the first 2 or 3 years it was in existence. We are always in Southern Illinois at Rend Lake during that time and Wayne City is less than an hour from where we camp at Rend. Besides that, there is virtually no way I can get away from work in October to attend.
Silver Crown Championship Dirt Cars properly driven on a one mile dirt track are classic poetry in motion. Using that analogy, Jack Hewitt is one of the greatest poets of all time.
