On a side note, Mick is probably my favorite pit steward of all time.

As for the raindate, a low class move at best. I spoke with a couple of the ULMS officials at AMR last weekend and they are looking forward to the 9th Annual Stephanie Eckl Memorial race at AMP on the 28th. Watch for updates, I believe the LM purse has been increased.

The rain date had been set since the schedule came out at the beginning of the season. The speedway in no way is trying to hurt any other track. People will go to whatever is best for them. I wish them all the best of luck where ever the decide to go.As for the raindate, a low class move at best.

That statement makes absolutely no sense. The bird has the option of another date but refuses t move it, good luck.The rain date had been set since the schedule came out at the beginning of the season.

As was mentioned previously, 9/28 has been the rain date since the beginning of the season. So the statement "amp's date was scheduled before hummingbird" is incorrect. It's a shame the two shows wind up being the same night but unfortunately the weather is to blame. As for saying "hummingbird didn't want to work with amp on conflicting dates", were there discussions that I'm not aware of?
