Rain outs are part of racing. I recall coming up to Indiana, I believe it was in 2002, before I was shooting. I believe that EVERY race that I went to, other than the Indy 500 and the USAC Sprints and All Star Late Models at Eldora were rained out. Everything from the sprints at Terre Haute to the Hoosier 100 to the midgets at the Speedrome and the Night Before the 500. That was in my pre-Little 500 days. Pretty sure that one got in, but instead I was getting a bit pickled at Kelly's, as were a whole bunch of other rained out racers. Pretty sure the Indy 500 was also rain delayed somewhere near the middle. That was a brutal spring. All I really recall from that trip is being at several different tracks (oh, yeah, the USAC sprints at Anderson rained out, too) getting my shoes wet. . .
