So since it doesnt affect you then its OK for Jacksonville to cancel on predicted weather but its not for Bloomington? Try looking at it from the promoters standpoint. What kind of crowd do you think they would get in this heat? Just after Joe took over LPS he decided to run some sprint shows on Thursdays. There was a night much like this 100 degrees probably 110 heat index. I was one of the SIX fans that showed up. There were more cars in the pits than fans in the stands. I think Casey Shuman won but I may be wrong. The point is that I'm sure Joe lost thousands of $ that night. I certainly dont expect him to lose even more tonight with a higher paying class than the usual sprint purse. Now I'm sure if you called and volunteered to pay the purses for tonight he'd probably be willing to run.
