Maybe he'll run triple features next year.

I just got home from the track and it was prepped and ready to race on. People and race teams were pulling in as I left. This is all on bad management call By Bob Miller. I feel real bad for the teams and fans that have traveled a great distance to see the races. The only weather issue was that it was going to get a little below 60 tonight, no rain only a 20% chance after 11PM. Worst call ever!

New Egypt has a 60% chance of rain tomorrow night and Susquehanna also shows a 60% chance of rain. Port Royal might be the only race that gets run now.

If I'm USAC I'm not going back if Bob Miller is the promotor.

bingo....

USAC Racing @USAClive

.@NESspeedway is fully committed to USAC #EasternStorm & fully intends to race tomorrow, while also making Friday a rain date, if necessary.

Up to a 30% chance of rain at 3am. Clearly the correct call, haha

Ive said it before and I'll say it again. Forget miller and talk Path Valley speedway into a USAC Eastern Storm Tour race. It would be the best race of the entire east coast tour.

It would be the Kokomo of PA. Check it out and start sending emails to get them on the schedule next year. They were on it 2 years ago I think and it rained the entire day and have never been on the schedule again.

Also for the wingless fans that came to PA for the week Path Valley is running wingless on friday the 6th.

Friday, June 5

Gates open 5 p.m. - Warm-ups 7:30
