Looks like the race will be cancelled

Too much rain.

Damn...I bet there are some pissed off people up there!

What a mess. :eek:

When I read this, I went looking to see what I saw and went to Charlotte.com. They had the breaking news headline - Rain has stopped; dryers on track; 8:00 pm start at the earliest. That was posted at 6:58 pm so don't know if anything has changed.

Holy crap - 600 mile race. And I thought I had it bad last night.

Don't think it's going to happen tonight, folks. They just showed the track and I saw rain again.

Given the forecast for the next couple of days, might as well race at Dover tomorrow and do Lowes next week.

putting the cars back in the garages.

race postponed till 12 ET tomorrow.

Parking lot people have to be happy. Another 20 bucks per car.

dunno about lowes, but when we got rained out at texas motor speedway, they let everyone stay for free.

of course, parking is already free at TMS.

[Go To Girl]

The LMS lots are free, but there are other lots around. Don't know what they'll do.

[Kyle82]

My heart is out to all of the folks that paid good money for seats/parking/hotel/gas....hopefully they'll get a good race tomorrow! :thumbsup:

I have seen some lots do free parking for return customers, I have seen some lots do Half off, and I have seen another full price day........We stayed until it started coming down after the hard rain, and then we headed out....I think we were about 40 minutes from Greensboro when the race was actually called. It sucks this weekend was a complete wash, spent money that I rally did not have on tickets, hotel and of course Saturday night festivities. I had fun, but would have rather stayed at the house and not spent the money

It was rather nice though getting home before midnight then after midnight for a change

I was out there... got there at noon yesterday, setup the tent and site, cooked out and drank all day long- could tell the race wasn't going to happen so we didn't even bother going to the track. I couldn't help but snicker at the people that left and came back hours later. Woke up at 7 this morning and made the executive decision to pack it in and get out of Dodge. On the couch now, showered, dry and clean. All 3 good things.

I think my Blackberry ingested too much rain water though. FTL

[Scrumtrilescent]

fug it, we're headed back out.

[Tweeder]

actually looking at the radar, it looks like they might be able to get half of it in before the rain starts

I feel bad for my cousin who flew in from PHX and had to fly home today....ok not so bad. I mean its NASCAR
