Hate it, but it's the right call. It's probably going to piss rain off and on all day tomorrow. Plus, the car and fan count wasn't great last time out with good weather so I can't blame them for not wanting to take the risk.

No more people than was there last time I'm surprised they are even thinking about having ANY more there this season
