Tim, Yesterday they said all of the rain was out of the area by noon. if they couldn't get a track ready last night then I don't think there is a snowballs chance in hell that they will run tonight. Not venting at you...just a little disgusted.
Due to the overnight fog, continuing mist today, and heavy rains during the week; the racing surface at Eldora Speedway cannot tolerate any additional moisture. We are watching the weather very closely – IF it would rain any more this morning or afternoon, for the safety of the drivers, we will have to cancel tonight’s racing program.
And by looks of radar rain is almost on top of them now.
bring back earl he would get it done! he enjoyed seeing the stands packed with happy race fans. unlike the people that run eldora now. so sad to see something that he work so hard at go up in smoke. tony you have put a lot back into the sport that made you what you are but you are letting this one go to far.
just so you know, we had all three tractors on the track working hard to get the track ready for tonight. even with rain coming we were trying. i think its important for you to know that usac pulled the plug on tonights race without consulting anyone at eldora. knowing that we were going to lose a ton tonight, we were still committed to getting tonight in for the teams AND the fans. nobody can control the weather, not even earl.
