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.

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.

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

      We might have replacement refs again…

      After some of the calls last year probably won't see much of a drop off

      https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/48344034/nfl-begin-hiring-replacement-officials-given-state-negotiations-nfl-referees-association   Honestly fug these refs and their union. Resisting changes that would actually incentivize good performance and not seniority based systems. What a bunch of donkeys. Hope the replacements straight up take their jobs and never give them back. Sick of watching refs script games with no repercussions.

      Donovan seems like highest risk to me. Lloyd and May have already established relationships with all these kids. There’s probably guys hitting the portal that they recruited from HS. And then there’s the possibility of transferring their own guys from their current teams. They’ve also been recruiting the HS kids for like the next 5 years already. Look at the Iowa coach who hit the ground running by transferring all his guys from his D2 program. Or going across sports to Cignetti transferring all his JMU guys year one then building off that to a national title year 2. Donovan is starting from square one having been in the NBA so long and he’s already 60. So you’re potentially punting year 1 for a guy you are just hoping to be a 10 year hire while you figure out how to actually develop your next home grown 20yr guy. That’s 1/10th of the time you have him, more or less at best. The hope would be that he would find some high level assistants who have been working the college recruiting trails already, but then are you giving up his ideal staff just to get a foothold in recruiting and transfers. Think Belichick year one was bad? Imagine how much worse it would be without Steve Belichicks transfer portal pulls. Hoping Mays or Lloyd are all they’re cracked up to be.
