MOTHER NATURE WINS AGAIN!
Tonight's racing program at the Rush County Fair in Rushville, Ind. has been cancelled due to persistent rain showers and muddy track conditions. If you did not receive a refund at the track for your pit pass your arm band can only be redeemed for pit admission on July 4th at Rushville. The arm band is not valid at any other MTQRL events. The next race on the MTQRL schedule is Saturday June 29th at the Montpelier Motor Speedway in Montpelier, Ind. http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p...4/Untitled.png www.mtqrl.com Like us on Facebook "Midwest TQ Racing League" |

They tried their best to work the track back in after the rain storm passed, but luck wasn't on their side. The sprinkles and light rain while working on the track didn't help at all.
I'd say about halfway home, I noticed everything looked dry. Once I arrived home, I again thought it looked dry as could be. My wife proceeded to tell me that it hasn't rained a drop! I live maybe ten minutes from the track. It just wasn't meant to be... http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b1...s72524fa5.jpeg |

Hopefully tonight will be better for UMRA. |

Yes that was crazy weather. Really sucks to I herd there were 28 cars in the pits. Pit area did look pretty full. I will give credit to the fair board, this is the 3rd time they have been hit with rain before a show this week. Saturday we had over 2inches in less than an hour before my show. In just over 2 hours they had the place ready to go. Then Sunday they got hit before the tractor pull. They were able to get that show in to. I guess last night the luck ended.

If 28 made it look full, you should have seen the Pits before they were bigger and With 50 cars in there!

Re: MTQRL TQ's to Race at the Rush County Fair Wednesday Jun
One thing that JT didn't mention was that the pits used to be a lot smaller, too. So, talk about looking like a pits full of cars. A smaller pit area with over fifty cars crammed in there.
Also, I believe the pits looking full comment might just be in regards to the field sizes in recent years. They are smaller than they used to be, but it's always a good show with the TQ's, at any track. Almost thirty cars is a healthy field, which I'm fine with the pits looking pretty full comment. :) |
Pretty sure mtqrl would have had over 30 cars if it wasn't for the weather. I know of several that stayed home because the radar didn't look good.

TQ's racers ar just like everyonbe else. The ecomony and hard times have effected the fields anbd attendance. I remember when a few guys from California would come to Indiana for the Rushville races. Can you imagine what it would cost a guy now who races mostly as a hobby to tow that far. I know towing expenses are hitting many right now.And the forcast for this week is enough to make you give up.:14:

Shawn, I did mention that the Pits are bigger now.
