Radar looks like getting ready to storm or rain there. Has 50 / 50 for tonight. YUK!

No reason we couldnt be racing. Crew had plenty of time to get track in shape. No more rain tonight. WTF!!!!

Funny how I haven't heard from any of our haters on how we're actually racing after a rain delay after midnight! #ThanksForTheSupport

funny to tweet that stuff when holding a shipload of the fans money but rain at 3pm this week does them in...

Then quit buying one. I thought about buying one this year. Glad I didn't because it would have been an epic waste of money.

Because of this I will be boycotting for a few weeks. We should have raced!

My nephew had custody of his 4 year old for the weekend, after the 5 pm exchange in Carlisle we headed to the 'Grove for his FIRST time at the races. Upon our arrival we were disappointed but put Plan T into effect! Got to Trailways just as hot laps started.
We had a good time, eat lots of food and saw some good racing for the little guy's first time.
A highlite that I do not see at the Grove anymore is drivers coming into the stands to visit the fans during intermission. Our night was made special as one racer stopped on his way back to the pits to talk and take pictures with the youngster! He never stopped talking about it on the way home until sleep took over!
Many 'Grove drivers used to, I can remember Lance while in the 461 visiting section C several times but the late Terry Lininger every week made his way through the tunnel to greet his fans.

Nice story. I agree.

(It would be a win-win for everybody. Fans get to say hi and meet driver. Kids get a new hero. Track gets repeat fans and new fans. Fans buy driver's t-shirts.)
