Now they have two races to re schedule.

Decided to pay the Jeep off before I did anything to it like that. Trust me, I still want to do pushing, but not until I can pay it off (that way I could buy a back up DD and have something to drive just in case I break something off roading or pushing).
Here's the reason that a real great opportunity was blown, today. Because of the rain last night, they were forced to pit behind the open grandstand and the first row of the gravel parking lot that motor homes usually park. The race fans were walking about that area for hours today and the interactions they were having with the drivers and teams were just a sight to see. Especially the kids. Seeing the race cars up close and putting a face to the driver driving those cars just adds something to the whole experience for them. I know that's what set the hook in me, when I was that age, at this track. If USAC wants to have an event that will go a long way towards making making up for what happened today, let them pit like they did today, where the fans can be a part of it and then actually give them a race to see at the end of the day and they'll have a chance to really hit one out of the park. Today was a potential great day at the Terre Haute Action Track, that just totally blew up at the end.

I agree Jerry, I loved that they were pitting in that area. Especially since they didn't enforce a pit pass thing (be sorta hard).
Stay tuned for video. I got a call from Racing SuperFan Ross Wece who posts videos here. He is on his way back to Carbondale with video that he says will be posted later tonight. Should be interesting.
