Kind of surprised they didn't cancel because of the 40 and 50% chance of rain all day after 3, they have a Thursday rain date tomorrow and its suppose to be warmer and no chance of rain. Its a loose loose, there won't be as many fans or drivers because of the chance of rain tonight, but if they did it tomorrow they still loose because a lot of people requested off work today to go but didn't request off tomorrow, I myself took vacation days both days.

Why would you cancel because of a 40% chance of rain? What kind of bizzaro world am I living in these days?

40% is just the average hour percent, there is a 70% chance in one of those hours and 65% in the other, the rest are for 40%, and i don't wan't them to cancel but i see most tracks cancel when there's a chance of rain like all day, i live 20 minutes from the track i can care less which day it's on i'm just surprised is all.

Some tracks cancel quickly on weekly show nowadays. But this is not a weekly show!!! It is the Lou Blaney memorial!!! I am leaving shortly as I have an hour and 15 minute drive to the track!! If we get rained out then so be it, I'll go back tomorrow!!

That's a mentality created by lazy promoters that don't want to put any effort in. The reason crowds suffer on days like today is tracks that cancel because of a chance of rain. If they'd show they're gonna put the effort forth, the people will take notice. On the other hand people need to support tracks on days like today, to show the tracks that it's worth putting the effort in.

Know all about that end. I stand by prior statements, people expecting cancellations because of a 40% chance of rain is just absurd. That percentage means nothing if it amounts to no accumulation, but everyone is a weatherman these days.WELL IT IS EASY TO GO AS A FAN AND IF IT RAINS OUT OH WELL, BUT AS A RACE TEAM TRAVELING HUNDREDS OF MILES AND SPENDING HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS ITS NOT SO EASY.WISH IT WAS

Scheduling is tough for this race. There were several noticeable drivers who weren't there last night that typically would've been (Lynch, Holtgraver, Shaffer, Kemenah, Wilson, etc.) if it weren't for this new, upstart race out in the midwest called the Knoxville Nationals. Several of these guys are running the 360 nationals and I'd bet all of them will be at the Capitani Classic on Sunday night.
Great job by Sharon last night. The track was excellent all night, the program was run efficiently, and I was in my car heading home shortly after 10.
