The old format 2 qualifying laps. 1 at a time kept u there all f n night. Non qualifier races wouldn't start till 2am.Format 100 times better nowdays.
    I was there for this last year. My ship landed in the driveway at 8:15 am. That was a all out turd floater...2 of them.

      But to answer your question? Yes they do
      Midst of summer? Its the second weekend of June. summer doesn't even start until the 3rd week. How can it be middle if summer already???

          Per Intellicast: Rossburg Ohio, 90% chance of rain on Friday, 80% chance on Friday evening.

I would think that over Thursday and up to Sunday if needed they will be able to get 3 programs in. Hopefully it's not like the Show Me where chances of rain kept a lot of drivers from coming. I think most drivers know by now if anyone can get a show in regardless of rain it is the Big E.

            They don't wait like that anymore. Maybe an hour and then come back tomorrow or whenever. The monies in the bank.

                Well, it will be just nine days from being the longest day of the year.
