LAKE OZARK AND LAKESIDE USAC SPRINT RACES RAINED OUT
Ongoing precipitation and a forecast for substantial additional rainfall has forced the cancellation of both of this weekend’s USAC AMSOIL National Sprint Car races, Friday, October 5 at Lake Ozark Speedway in Eldon, Mo. and the Saturday, October 6 event at Lakeside Speedway in Kansas City, Kans.
The series now continues Friday, October 12, with the “Wabash Clash” at Indiana’s Terre Haute Action Track for the Midwest finale on the famed half-mile at the Wabash Valley Fairgrounds.
The series points race is tight with Cullman, Alabama’s Kevin Thomas, Jr. currently holding a 34-point lead over Indianapolis, Indiana’s Tyler Courtney.* Reigning series champ Chris Windom of Canton, Ill. resides third in the standings, 62 out of the lead.
I’m no weatherman but the green and red on the radar there right now, I am assuming is rain. Maybe I’m looking at thermal imaging and it’s actually global warming out there?
Almost two hours from my previous post. Still raining there, according to radar. Anyone close to there who can confirm? I don’t know what to say about ossuks not being able to look at a radar map.
It seems to me that even when weather could be a slight factor, but car counts, pre-sale of tickets and camping are also issues... it would be better in the long run for promoters to just say "Due to Unforeseen Circumstances...."
