Nope , they called hot rod to the lanes and the bottom fell out

We hung around and ate lunch after they called it, the sun was out as they radar showed and it turned out to be a very nice day.

Will entry be open on the rescheduled day?

Was told today that any racer entered at Farmington that chooses to go to Rockingham instead will get a bonus if they win.
$1,000 in Top e.t.
$500 in Footbrake
$500 in JD

I would say yes.
They never made an official IHRA run down the track and tech was still open.
I hope so cause Jr will have his new tranny in the superstocker and tested by that time .
We will bring a stocker and a superstocker if it is still open and it will.

They will pick up another 3 entries from us. Hate it for those that made the trip and got cancelled but hopefully they will get a great turn out in two weeks.

I wish they had scheduled the rain date for another time. Vacations ..Graduations..and races near by that have been scheduled all year. Like Mooresville's and Rockingham.
IH should let you transfer for free. $50.00 is too much.

We stayed the night last night for 2 reasons...
1. we drove 7 hours to get to the race and we hated to turn right around and head home.
2. When we have a chance to visit my parents we take it.

By noon yesterday sun was out and the pavement was dry. It was a BEAUTIFUL day, did not rain again until 7 pm. Final car count was 144...could have EASILY been given 1 run and raced. Even if they had tried to run the scheduled 2 day event when we left at noon today it was 73 degrees with clear blue skies. No reason not to run the race.

We ran Piedmont today, it was as nice as it was 2 weeks ago. I feel sorry for all the fuel spent when it could have been called on Thursday, I wont go back for the raindate.
