Those with pit passes can keep their arm band and use it for the next sprint race. Not sure about the grandstands.

No refund and no reschedule. Lots of upset folks at the front gate that only made the trip because of the BOSS series. Made even worse by uninformed track workers saying its rescheduled. Pretty messed up deal

And they wonder why no one are in the grandstands anymore.

Here is a picture of the track. One of the things that caused Keith and I to scratch our heads was how they did putting heat in the motors. They brought 8 or so cars into the infield, pushed them off and let them run around the track a couple minutes then they went off the track and brought 8 or 9 more. They told them to make sure they are ready for hot laps at 7:30 but then they take a long time to get heat in the motors. That took until around 8 then the rains came. The track was going to be good. Engine heat was inefficient but the end result is a rain out so it's not a big deal now. Want to congratulate Max McGhee on his win at Bloomington. That was cool.

Was really hoping to see BOSS race. We want to thank all the BOSS regulars that made the trip out. Sorry it ended up a rain out but make up for it at Lawrencburg tomorrow night

Apparently this person wasn't there.in this same thread is a picture of the track and clearly two trucks in the picture.so beyond some posts on here,there were attempts to do something with the track and more than one truck.the picture doesn't lie.

I was at the track. Anyone who looks at that pic will get the wrong idea. Was the track messy? Yes. But 3 trucks were on the track for 15 min and then only one for another 10 min. I was at the track. Looks like you were not there so don't talk about it like you were there. Don't look at a pic of 3 trucks on the track and act like a great effort was put in to try to get the track back because it wasn't. Not enough equipment is why the race got cancelled.
