And just how in the heck does anybody know the rain would end in 10 minutes?

I can't tell if that's a serious question or not

They have this tool called RADAR now a days

Id say the call was questionable at best. Plenty fans and drivers more than willing to wait it out. Very disappointing.

front gate didn't look like the problem to me but im not the promoter

i cry foul. they tell everybody to stick around there going to wait it out and as soon as the rain stops they cancel. does anybody look at the radar they were on the pa 15 minutes before they call it saying they were still trying. are they saying that 15 minutes of light rain killed the track. watch the radar, watch the radar.

and race track promoters wonder why attendance is down? when they do not make the effort to get the race in, people become perturbed and will not come back unless the weather report is perfect. I for one will not set out for a race when there is a chance of rain, unless i'm going to a track where I know the promoter will give it his all to see to it that the race gets in, if at all possible (Lawrenceburg is a good example of that, the promoter has proven that he will make that effort) I won't start naming names as to those promoters

who have proven they won't!

i thought a track like tri-state with all the equipment they have would be able to do better than this. this just leaves me wondering why.

Then the fans would have complained about being there till 2 am...i think it was a good call it was raining all the time they were working on track
