Actually, I know it's late notice, but the same applies to anyone coming in tonight. I'm 2 minutes off the NJ tpke exit 8.

Looks like I'll be tuning up my workbench for some serious indoor bench racing on Saturday. Hey Verne wanna race? Hope Sunday is better weather. Will the FAST show be moved to Sunday or re-scheduled?

Tommorrow looks like scattered showers for e-town, The track will be open and they can dry the track between showers if need be. You never know, if it is a total washout then there Will be a rain date, I just don't know when that will be yet.
I have gotten 30+ emails today from people who were planning upon going , but do not want to travel in the rain.
I am sure attendance will be affected, However:

Theres nothing I can do about the rain, we are still planning to hold the event, unless of course the track closes. You never know about these things, sometimes the day can turn out better than expected.

No rain now over NJ

This event looks like a washout, so we are going to call it a rain delay day. So I will annouce when we have a rain date. Thanks for all your support, I will let you know what the new dates are as soon as I get em'

I hate that for ya, Gonzo...I know how much planning it takes to put an event on.

Keep us posted on the makeup date. And keep an eye on that guy with the Gobi Beige Deuce...he's always starting trouble!

[supergonzo]

Yes it is extremely frustrating!!!!!!!1 Thanks to all who gave support, I'll let you know when I have another date.

I just hope I was able to contact everyone in time

Raceway Park is coming up with a rain date of POSSIBLY the last weekend in August. I will announce the date once I have it locked in.

I am actually a little peeved at Raceway Park, because they cancelled the event due to rain on their recorded announcement very early in the morning, and then as the weather got a little better there, they shortened and revised the message to indicate that they were holding drag racing events today.

This resulted in about 12 cars showing up for the event after it had already been posted that it was cancelled due to rain.
I know they are a business and want to get as much money in as possible over the weekend, but I am a little concerned about the perception of the racers who did show up, only to find there would be no trophies, no FAST DRAGS racing format, etc.etc.
