    I rolled the dice and cancelled my room in Chillicothe this morning. Guess that turned into a good decision real quick.

            It wasn't that cold then, not nearly. Be thankful that common sense prevailed on these races! Getting sick and freezing is not a good thing.

            I bet you own a kerosene heater. lol And full Eskimo gear~~!! No people should learn to deal with the bad weather and live to race another day. hahahhaha You go to 28 degree races? I really believe it though!!!

              There is irony in that somewhere.
              Maybe rename it The Black Ice Breaker?? hahahaha More appropriate.

                I really really don't like these moves. Cutting both events, sadly.

                    I remember that night as well. It was below freezing when I left the track. Coldest I've ever been at a race track.

                      Hate it got cancelled for those that were planning to go but...

                      The cancellation added another race for me in April.

                      Atomic, Sharon, Hagerstown and Port Royal.

                      Four new tracks for me and my crew!!

                        Cold and rainy simply not a good recipe for a dirt track race. The promoters had no choice IMO. Interesting reschedule decisions

                          Yep, no matter how you slice it.....Brownstown lost a Lucas date and the Jackson purse is cut.

                          I'm all for a Steve Barnett race on the Friday of the Jackson but would have preferred if that was an addition to the originally planned Saturday show/purse and a rescheduled date for the Icebreaker.
