    Mother Nature 1-800-chit happens

    Drivers safety comes first. Good call WoO.

    Their is always tomorrow.
    Mother nature didn't drag her feet, the officials did. That's why they didn't get the race in. Let's not forget this isn't the first night WoO poked around and ran the program like they had no idea what they were doing.

        I think it was called a lil before 11pm. They were 23 laps from the end.

          Thanks. Not that late then but still as a fan you hate to miss that many laps.

              Mod race was lengthy, and they ran the full 30 laps, PLUS all the winner's cirole podium interviews, etc... They then shortened the SLM feature to 40 laps quietly from 50, and then called it after "halfway" at 23 laps... SLM fans didn't get to see even 50% of the advertised Woo distance... Toolbox challenge could have held later on also to speed show up...

                  This is what really ticks me off, these silly side shows that waste time.

                      I ran Volusia in my modified wearing a snowmobile suit since it was only 18 degrees... had to put antifreeze in the radiator... didn't call it because of winter!

                        WRG has a history of shaving laps off the feature and not telling anybody. They did the same thing last year at the Rockford Clay Classic. Took 10 laps off both the sprint and late model features. On top of that they secretly made the late model feature a non points event. So instead of getting to see the hottest driver in lm's work his way through the feature field from the rear, as soon as the green came out he, Boom Briggs, Chase Yunghans, and one other driver pulled to the infield and parked

                            Toolbox challenge has 3 fans hold Craftsman personal size toolboxes at arms length, who can do the longest gets a $50 Sears Craftsman gift card, others get a bottle opener.. Understand the need to involve series sponsor 100%, BUT, when shows are running long, weather, etc., do them when it doesn't hold the average paying customer's show please...

                              Since they didn't run 50% of the advertised race, are all the Bloomquist, Owens and Saterlee fans going to sue for the ticket price? Seems they ran 23 of 50 laps last night. Worse, the people that are disgusted, miss tonight's race and it could be the race of the year. You never know what you will get at Volutia, but it is racing in February. The lap counter wasn't certified.

                              Sure, it was dangerous to keep racing, but the official crew wasted that valuable time, where all the racing could have been over in a decent amount of time. Why is it, after two rain outs you wouldn't be out on that track early enough to guarantee a good track and start on time. If there was ever a race that shouldn't be a points race, this is one.
