Admonishing someone for soliciting speculation serves no purpose. Don't like it, move on. Some of us need to know the possible alternate plans.

No need to bicker, men. We all have our thumb rules and voodoo dolls on days as such.
I think a lot of it depends on how far one has to travel. Other than Hartford, every track I hit is a 2+ hour drive. I have to make a good, calculated decision prior to leaving when the weather looks 50/50 to make hot laps, etc. Weather maps are fine to use, but when a fan says there is a foot of water in the parking lot or pits..... well.... the Weather Channel will not show THAT. I don't know what irks me more personally - not going and finding the race is eventually on and fine, or going and finding the plug was pulled whilst I was on the way there. But all in all, I like the fans' response myself as my first rule of thumb. |

Exactly Tommy. I could go to Lawrenceburg t-nite where there is very small chance of rain. Gasoline is not cheap. Coming all the way from Greenfield is a bit different than being very close to the speedway.

My point sir, is if you have not seen the devastation the community has been through, you can't imagine the effort that has been put forth.I think they will try to get it in tonight for several reasons. A lot of people who live a lot farther than you have to be at work on Monday, so Sunday doesn't help them. Plus this an event with advance ticket sales, so they would eat that cost also. Also running tonight would free up rooms for people still displaced or without power.

And while you guys are fretting about what may not even happen, Mother Nature swings and misses, again. And for now, the radar is clear for miles and miles behind that. I have a Smackdown finale to go see and have to get ready for my 2 1/2 hr drive.
