B-town still a go???

GFMMInc · 6/29/12, 10:24 AM

I know Gas City has cancelled due to heat. Just wondering if Btown is still a go for tonight?

I think most tracks make those decisions by 2 or 3 PM. Some earlier if the situation is obvious. I'm an hour and a piece away from Bloomington and plan to attend if they run, but I would not be surprised if they cancel out. A nice feature some tracks have is the text alert for cancellations or in some cases, affirmations that they are running. If you have texting on your mobile phone, both LPS and Gas City have that feature (see their websites), although Gas City obviously had a problem with their texting system on tonight's cancellation.

Website says NO RACING June 30, could that mean what it says? Bob!

Oops, sorry, you mean't Bton, not Btown!

On their Facebook page they keep posting that they're racing tonight and are still doing the fireworks despite the burn ban. The most recent post by the track was 15 hours ago, so...

Their website doesn't say they are cancelled. Their FB page said they are taking extra precautions (extra fire and emergency personnel, extra water truck, etc)

Bloomington Speedway IS racing tonight. We have sprint cars, super stocks, mods and hornets. We WILL be having fireworks. There is a county wide burn ban. We have final approval from the fire marshall's office to proceed as planned. We have taken extra precautions to keep everyone safe and comfortable. Come and join us for a great night of racing and awesome fireworks!

Hope you're not a jinx. The track has been good the last 2 weeks, but you know how your luck runs here.

I'm really having mixed feelings about coming. I know the fireworks are awesome and there will be a huge crowd, but if I do drag myself up there, I'm going to be a late arrival.
