Man, I was disappointed they didn't run, but I understand it. They are on a short leash with the neighbors. They have to be very aware of how late they run, especially on a weeknight. Even with it being MidgetWeek, this is a big payout for them on a Tuesday. They need every butt in the seat they can get.
Throw in 465 is closed. I guarantee that will cost them some people. Then people get off work not far from there, and its pouring, and they say, with the rain it will be a late night, if they get it in. It isn't worth it to deal with traffic. Just head home and watch it.
Disappointed they didn't run? Yes. Upset? No.
Brent, I agree with you! I think all of those things you mentioned went into the decision making of cancelling the event. I had to navigate that 465 mess last week and sure it will be that way all summer.
