Wow, Shouldn't jump in here but in LPS defense, I seem to remember they tried to put on more racing for the fans last year by running several Thursday shows, getting rained on at one of them and a couple others had 100* plus and giving teams some tow money when it did get rained out. Not only that, They gave away bottled water on a couple of hot and humid days. Not to mention they lost their ass on every single one of them but still paid everyone.

You ever get there two hours early and see how much moisture they put in that track? The pack truck won't even stay on the banks.

I remember a accidental almost rain out under the old promoter at a NST (WOO Type) race where they over-watered the track and it was 10:30pm before they hot lapped and 230am when they finished That was brutal.

I also know that Middle Indiana got upwards of 7 inches of rain the past week or so a steady light rain, cool temps and cloudy skys are just going to bring the moisture in the surface up.

Could they of possibly run? Maybe but you'd probably just now be watching the checker fly at 730am.

Also know that every track has their rain-out policy on their ticket booths and websites.

Its a shame they even try to put on a show for you cause Im d@mn sure you'd be B*((*chin if they'd of called it due to what the forecast or radar looked.

I went to the Burg last night knowing full well any decent rain would have probably quashed the show, By the looks of Radar early about 2pm both tracks could have cancelled and everyone would have probably understood. Neither did, LBURG GOT LUCKY, LPS DIDN'T I drove the 45 miles from LBurg home and through Sharonville it was lightning and thunderstorming.

Whats all this babble mean? I just think a couple peeps are being very harsh on a Promotor that did his darndest to put on a show for you and got hit by Mother Nature, Something totally beyond his control.
