Not looking good for today...
As to the food, Springfield is bigger, but DuQuoin has 17th Street BBQ, best pulled pork anywhere!

17th Street BBQ was at Springfield too. I should have shown you where. If they get it in, have a good time. Wish I was there. Steady drizzle in Springfield this morning. The flat track AMA bikes are postponed till tomorrow.

Wouldn't it be great if USAC or someone who is working the track update us on how things are looking on getting this race in today. If it comes down to it they might just wait too late for fans to start heading down that way. 2 hour up dates would help us out on our travels. If it would rain out what is PLAN B?

Chris, have you checked your Email lately?

race cancelled for 2012:

So there is absolutely, positively beyond a shadow of a doubt NO OTHER DATE they could put this race on? Did USAC or TE cancel? Come on guys, this series is flatlining even on life support and do this only helps drive the nails into it's coffin.

Looks like Issac got the bikes too.

AMA Pro Flat Track
Due to adverse weather, this weekend's Springfield Short Track and Mile II races have been postponed to September 15-16, 2012.

An official announcement will be released shortly.

If attendance had been better for the last ten years, there would be a rain date, but it wasn't, so there isn't. The reason for lack of attendance is debateable. I wonder if they will reschedule ARCA if they get called tomorrow? Seems like it never rains on ARCA day.

I would go for the TWIN 100's not that I want to see ARCA but the last remaining Silver Crown guys want to race and I want to see them on the mile at Duquoin.
