When discussing this issue with a track where we were running the midgets some years ago, I also found that, if he didn't cancel by noon, he had to pay the town 50% of the standard fee for police, firemen, ambulance, etc. If he didn't cancel by 5pm, he had to pay 100%. And, the deal with the power company was, once the lights were turned on, a "peak power fee" was paid, which meant it didn't matter much how long they were on. Any outdoor business is tough in a rainy climate.
