Live from Maple Grove - "Pennsylvania Dutch Classic"

No Jack ,they had no choice but to refund the money since they did not think far enough ahead to plan a rain date !
Everyone knows it never rains this time of year in Reading.
All advertisements for the Dutch said raindate TBA , That infers that an alternate date will be announced.
How many racers would come if it said " if it rains too bad were not going to hold the race?
Sorry but both Maple Grove and D1 leaders screwed up this one with poor scheduling and deserve no credit for "generously"refunding our entry.

Tommy - You missed my point - I can't ever remember ( my memory isn't that great anymore but thats another story ) the NHRA or a member track giving us back cash for any reason ...........

Exactly my point .
With no rain date this season , how many racers do you think were going to leave with a promise that their entry would be good "next year " ?
This was the one time that someone in charge realized that it was best not to piss anyone off more than they already were over the cancellation .
