I saw state, City, and construction workers WORKING in this heat today. Our shop was about 110 inside and we had guys with welding clothing on. Yes it's hot but that is July for you.
It's your track and your call but I think you made a mistake.
Now I'm going back in the Air condition

I think you race and let people make their own decision as to whether or not to attend. Then again, I don't own or operate a racetrack.

August 13 of 2010 Bloomington cancelled.

I think from a promoters point of view it's the right call. I'm planning 5 straight days of racing next week, and to me the end of July is the best time to be going to races. But that don't mean I'm a good customer to any of those racetracks!
