At Farmington, they can't start racing until noon on Sundays and they have to be done by 8 pm. At the time they made the decision to call the race the weather forecasts were calling for rain all day Sunday.

BTW, I drove all the way down from Philly to cover the race. I was at the track 30 minutes when they called it so I drove back home.

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.

Hope Jr gets his transmission back together and it runs good. Hope to see yall there

They changed the schedule since Saturday. When I left Saturday, they said it would be Fri-Sat-Sun. I guess they figure the car count will be low so they can get it all done in one day.

I was checking Weather.com all morning on Satruday. When they called the race it was showing 20% chance of showers on Sunday. It was also showing that the rain was about to quit in about 45 minutes to an hour after they called it, and that there should be a 6-8 hour window of no rain...

There really wasn't any effort made. I feel like they should have at least waited a few more hours to see if they were going to have a window.
