Yeah, Bob, it never rains up in the Northeast, at places like Maple Grove (for example)!!

Maybe they should just do all the races in California and help out with the drought...LOL

NHRA just said that they hope to run it as a night race tonight.

 

[Nitro Cane]

Is it still raining or are they drying the track yet ??? Anyone ?

It might stop raining in a couple of hours, but I don't see how they'll be able to pull off a night race. They had to call it off Friday night on account of dew, and there'd been no rain at all that afternoon.

Waiting until Monday sux but I don't see as they have a choice.

NHRA.com says drying underway

Guess there isnt a curfew for this race??

But the could not run late Friday night. Might have dew or cut into their bar time?

First round at 7PM ET ... Second Round 9PM ET according to NHRA's Facebook.

Air temp in the 50s and a rapidly falling track temp were probably just as much a concern as the dew. And rightly so.

It has been moved up to 645PM ET ... TV will be LIVE at 9 PM ET on ESPN2.

First pair - pedaling contest, experience paid off.

That was a waste of time, and the cars that ran got screwed. Sounds like Vandergriff and Dim Light had a few words too, then Dim called off the race.

 

[paoldtimer]

Never should've even tried to start! What a mess!

 

[Walter]

Well, so much for 9 PM tonight on ESPN 2, women's softball instead.

Now I know why Bob was so pissed! One commenter said he's known Bob for over 25 years and has never seen him so mad. Another said he thought Bob and Dim might get physical.
