Rain Wipes Out Saturday Racing
By Larry Sullivan

BAYTOWN, Texas -

7:20 p.m. - After 45 minutes, the third attempt to dry the track for an abbreviated Saturday schedule was interrupted by rain that was hard enough to wet down the track once again.

After three strikes, race officials finally abandoned track drying activities and called it a day.

Qualifying is complete for this event. Eliminations will start at 9 a.m. Sunday, with a round of Top Alcohol eliminations and a round of Pro Modified qualifying.

Professional eliminations will begin at 11 a.m., as scheduled, and race officials hope to complete the event tomorrow, but will return Monday if necessary.

Today's tickets will be honored at face value tomorrow.

Due to soggy conditions in the unpaved pit areas, Sportsman racers in Stock and Super Comp will not take to the track until after the semifinals for the Professional and Top Alcohol competitors, Super Stock and Super Street will follow the Professional and Top Alcohol final rounds. The additional time will give workers time to stabilize the roads in those pit areas so all the race cars in each of those categories can make it to the staging lanes.

This happened in 2007 to me, got pulled out at sunday midnite, the racers came back the the following week to more or the same, the race was finally finshed weeks later somewere else. In six years you think they could be doing some improvments every year to bring it up to a more sportsman racer friendly place. Tom
