Rain in Volusia?

Is rain why they canceled last night?

Website says unstable weather conditions. Decided to cancel after speaking with a meteorologist

It’s hard to race when it’s raining.
Todays weather looks great. I really hate it for the crate racers who were there since Wednesday and didn’t get to race in their big money races. WOO shows were single day programs- so they just list 1 race due to cancellation with no make-up. The 602 & 604 crate guys took a hit.

If I am a 602 or 604 after 2 years of this I just dont show up next year and stay home and if I am a Super Late I do the same. A big race like this should have a Sunday rain date. I feel its a way to not pay the big purses and to make money off the back gate. Sounds fishy.

Crate guys really got the shaft IMO. All that is left for them is the b mains and 10k to win feature. I don't see how they can't figure how to make that up for them during the next late model week. I don't even like watching crates, but they got a raw deal.

Agree with Fox and LMM. These guys travel hundreds if not a thousand miles to race two days for an anemic $8,000 to win. Back gate is packed. Then you cancel the Sat show, with no rain date. Today is 78 degrees and partly sunny. 0% chance of rain. WRG owns the track.....race and pay em.

It does seem like this day and age were canceling events too soon. I get trying to save people money but you’re also costing people money.

Obviously you cant race in the rain but it canceled on a prediction with cars are already there before it rained? Weird!

Yes, it rained. it poured. I saw a bunch of pictures and the entire facility was absolutely soaked.

[Black F]

had it not rained, would this have still been a good call?

Exactly what I was thinking, time for these series to have a rain date on these shows where drivers ans fans travel a great distance to attend, especially when there is not another race in the next few days.

[Rajflyboy]

They made a good call then 👍
