    Thanks, never seen one I'm like you can't see holding up the show for something like that.

      The track was in a dam if they do and dam if they don't situation. They had around 5 inches of rain the last 2 days and you knew it was going to be elbow up. So is the track just suppose to cancel because it's going to be hammer down or "try" to get a race in? They tried to get it in.

      I commend the track for trying, however who would of guessed fog would of came in and fogged up the racers visors. It comes back to the dammed if you do and dammed if you don't.

      Hopefully they will get the opportunity to dry it out a little today after they opened it up and we can get a good race in tonight.

      I wouldn't put to much blame on the big block mods.... Again, they were fighting the same condition of a hooked up wide open racetrack. The late models had just as many cautions as the mods... It was just one of those deals...

      WoO made the right decision to call it. We all want to get the race in, however you have to be responsible and safety is also a consideration, as well as the racers equipment. The average couch racer doesn't understand this.

        Why would they if all 3 drivers weren't there or even Richards? Another dumb comment.....

                Goodwill towards the fans that were rained-out two nights in a row and then shaved feature last night? Just an idea, we know it won't happen.

                If there is no purpose to running laps they might as well cut tonight's too.

                  I see that went over your head. Explanation= Not relevant if those drivers attended. They are litigious, The tire suit against WRG. therefore their fans may be that way.

                    Bubstr that's called a logical fallacy.


                    Anyway, weather was a factor once the race got started. The weather wasn't a factor in Wasting a bunch of time before the race even started. And everyone shilling for the world of outlaws seems to be ignoring their history of this kind of behavior.

                      Ever heard of the word assume? Or you jumping to conclusions and that. For someone so high and mighty, you sure are full of sh!t sometimes.
                      Up in the air who my next “favorite” driver is. Really losing hope on Bloomer getting anywhere back to “normal”.

                          I was there that night. It flat pouted twice. I got home at 8:15am.

                              That toolbox challenge is a great way to tear your rotator cuffs... brutal punishment. A really bad idea...

                                All night they talked about how wet the track was from the rain, but I got there at 3 pm and they wet the track 2 times before practice started and it was really too wet then and the cars couldn't even get up to speed for practice. Then they run the whole advertised feature for the BBM and announce as SLM are coming onto the track that they have cut their laps to 40 then eventually call it after 23 laps. Sat there til midnight after 2 straight rainouts just to see half a show.
