Walked around to turn 3-4,talked to a few fans sitting on the wall,told them it had been cancelled,they thought that might be wrong as it was too early to do that....!!!
I lived in hope.
Plenty of campers,fans up on the hill.
By 4pm the track looked ready to race on,nature had done the perfect track prep..!!
Sun still shining,still hot.
No more need be said....!!!

Wayne,
I question the "by 4pm the track looked ready to race on". You are indeed correct about the weather being sunny and hot. As I mentioned on another thread, with a lot of hard work this show could of been run. It would have been a later start but I feel it could have been done. It rained over night and into the morning but quit and the sun came out and helped dry the track. For the Monday ARCA race, they had to water the track a couple of times to keep the dust down.
