Being soaked clear through and the the amount of rain we left to get back to Terre Haute to dry out. I could not beleive when my son called and said they were going to race. Race fans that do not support TSS and the Helfrich family are missing the mark, for they are number one in operating a race track and operating to please their paying public. The two heat races we watched were great, sorry we missed the rest of the show. THANKS TOM & LORIS AND THE REST OF THE CREW! Sam Stockon Sr.
I remember a similar situation last year (except only hot laps had been run, and it was not a holiday weekend) when the race was cancelled as soon as the nonsoon set in. I guess the just depends on how bad he wants to get the show in. No doubt he can do it when it wants to.
