I pretty sure they paid Fri night feature what they said they would, don't think purse was cut

Late models only ran heats on Friday

They ran the limited/ sportsman show fri

I don't post very often but I do read what all of the (so called) race fans post on 4m nearly every day, Wow !! (aside from a couple of people on this thread) what was the track supposed to do they tried to have the race and you all get on here and blast them for calling it off and yet if they would have cancelled it you same people would have blasted them for calling it early. have any of you ever promoted a race or worked at a track in any capacity or for that matter have any of you ever raced ? good grief all of you keyboard cowboys are unbelievable. for the ones that are saying they just took our money no they didn't you willingly pulled thru the gates and handed the track your money. I have never been to a race and got my money back they always honor the tickets at another race and Smoky Mountain has posted you can use your snow out ticket for any race in 2017 yes ANY race whether it be the make up date for this race or the WOO race or the LUCAS race or any other race its your choice. I hate it got cancelled but all the whinning and moaning and groaning on social media won't change that. I for one will be at Smoky Mountain every time they open the gates because I remember what its like when we didn't have a track to go to, so be mad or get glad that they rescheduled but don't bash unless you have lived in the owners and or promoters shoes

It was my last trip there until I hear fans talking it up so much I just have to go back and see for myself...which probably will never happen...but time will tell...

I'm not sure how you look at that forecast and not cancel. I'm really not sure how you look at that forecast and get in the car willingly.

Too me that is for sure,not racing weather. I've been to too many cold ones and had my fill of that.

Great post DTJ.
I'm surprised track owners and promoters schedule races this early in the year. The weather, more often than not spoils the show. Nobody seems to say much about the track or promoter after a race unless their were issues. Kind of a no win for tracks this early.

Honestly I think out of all the events that have been scheduled around here this year, this was the first one to have any issues...It's been chilly at a couple of them but the crowds were huge and you'd never know that the weather wasn't good...
