    Yea but you said in an earlier post it sounds like they were wanting to cancel a few days ago, why would you make that long trip knowing that, now who's the idiot?

        So that I could go to FALS last night and follow the tour through Highland. Who's the idiot? Still not me.

          Iam in Lincoln now and went by the track. Pit area and parking lots looked good. Hard to tell about the track but I suspect it could have been made ready. Just in the area visiting friends and was going to the race.

            Yep, following the tour through Highland then heading back. Looks like tomorrow will be the last comfortable day before the highs get back into the 90's.

                The problem also arises even if they could have raced would enough fans showed up to pay for the event with the the weather in the area. Sometimes just have to bite the bullet and cancel early.

                  It rained HARD in the early afternoon before Lincoln's 2013 Summernationals show and they still ran and had a SRO crowd on hand. I'm sure the crowd wouldn't have been an issue since the weather was nice this afternoon.

                      I didn't think Sargent was known for cancelling prematurely which tells me it was a WRG decision.

                          You can't make a cancellation decision based on what happened 3 days before, so yes. Besides, most of them ran at Fayette County the next night.

                            Gear Head, I know the forecast kept saying are area was suppose to get anywhere from 1 to 3 inches of rain and when I looked at the radar it sure looked like it was going to rain a lot and that can affect your car counts and fan base. I don't have a clue who canceled and why but, I'm not going to second guess them in the perdicament they were in. I just feel bad for guys like you who drove this far to see a race at Lincoln and they canceled.

                              I've been attending Sargent promoted races from the time Sarge was just getting started in the race promotion business and it's usually a safe bet that he'll pull the plug pretty quickly.
