Sad to hear. Tri-City has had more than their share of bad weather on big weekends.

Been waiting for a USAC Sprints show for a decade now wish they would consider 7 October for a rain date!

Tri City cannot catch a break with weather and USAC shows. That being said this seems premature to me looking from the outside. I understand you have to make the call early because guys are traveling from Indy and beyond but...with races the next night in Pevely (which is still on with even dimmer looking forecast), I think you could try? It's not like the forecast looks completely dismal. It looks like the rain is supposed to be gone by 1 on Friday.

Yes! Especially since we got screwed out of that 2-day show last year and there's no Gold Crown anymore... They should do sprints and midgets on the 7th.
