It could be the track that does not seem to understand there rain check policy. As Mr. Nungester nicely copied from there website, here is the policy:
The rain check policy is as follows: If the halfway point in the program (heat races) has been completed, rain checks will NOT be issued. If the halfway point has not been completed, rain checks will be honored at forthcoming regular programs. NO CASH REFUNDS. Rained-out features will be run the following week, before the evening’s heat races.
Obviously the heat races were not over so the first part of the policy doesn't apply. The second part seems more applicable for Thursdays show. The halfway point was not completed (heat races were not over) so according to the tracks own policy, rain checks will be honored at forthcoming regular programs. So for the track to mandate your rain check has to be used for the 2nd half of a rained out show 2 days later seems inconsistent with there own policy. Maybe I'm missing something?? Maybe I'm not a "fan"??
Now I realize I paid $25 for my ticket and if they honored it for a regular program, it would then be worth much less but at least I would be able to see a complete program instead of just 2 heat races. Unfortunately, Saturday doesn't fit into my schedule (only Thursday and Friday did), so I guess I'm out $25. But hey, I got to see 2 heat races. Not much I can do about it. The tracks make the rules and we have to follow them.
