Truck99 Posted August 17, 2003 Report Share Posted August 17, 2003 A storm blew through at THR and dumped about 30 minutes worth of rain about 4:30. Management decided to cancel for tonight. Good luck to you guys in SA. Chase Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProTree Posted August 17, 2003 Report Share Posted August 17, 2003 next time the romco/tsrs/tams are in sa-thunder hill ought to take the nite off-save us all some $$$-i've run tracks where it rained and we started late and raced,like we did a few weeks ago at thr.Hell, there was only 4 classes running-wouldnt of took long to run em even if you started late-with what was there,we could of started later and finished at 10pm- as we were leaving the hill, we told at least 15 cars of people it was cancelled-they asked why- we told em if you got to get your fix, go to sa-that's where everybody went-damn 2 rain out in 2 weeks- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kathy Posted August 17, 2003 Report Share Posted August 17, 2003 The sad part is that the big storm they were watching on the radar just died down and went away. But, it probably was a good idea to cancel. The infield was probably a mess with all the rain we have had this week, it probably just counld'nt dry out. Think I should say probably one more time?

NickHolt Posted August 17, 2003 Report Share Posted August 17, 2003 The infield at THR just plain took too much water this past week. And the 30 minutes of rain they got today made the infield sloppy. The emergency vehicles or race cars getting back on track after an infield excursion would have made a mess on the track. Brian did the right thing by calling it even though it means TPS goes back next week for our rain date.. Nick Holt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truck99 Posted August 17, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2003 JR, I don't know if it was a good call or not. If it were my pocket book running that track, I would probably think it was a good call. Otherwise, I wish we would have raced. I live about 3 miles from the track, and right now, blue skies are a plenty. I wonder if we'll get any rainout dates near the end of the season. With the street stock points as close as they are, I'm sure more than a few drivers are going to pray for rainout dates. Chase Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lbeaver087 Posted August 17, 2003 Report Share Posted August 17, 2003 i have an good idea for the infeild what if brain would out hte same dirt he has in the parking lot in the infeild we would not have to worry about the mud any more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VictoryLane Posted August 17, 2003 Report Share Posted August 17, 2003 Hey Chase , I was wondering if NIKE gives you any problems for running their logo on your car upside down?? lol Victory Lane & Buxton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kathy Posted August 17, 2003 Report Share Posted August 17, 2003 That would be just great. Then we would have rocks flying all over the place. Thus making longer and more clean ups. Then you would have to worry about them going in to the stands and hurting people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
