It’s Sunday, which usually means eliminations. However, given that the remains of a tropical storm is passing through the area, the likelihood of getting any racing done today is slim. We’re in route to the track to find out the latest from NMRA officials, and talk with racers. We’ll keep you posted as soon as we know what’s happening.
12:00 Deadline
We spent the morning talking with racers and dodging raindrops. At 12:00 the NMRA made an announcement that they can not run races today. Even with efforts by track officials to dry the track, the last 700 feet of racing surface and the shutdown are not drying well. With another rain shower on radar, even the best efforts won’t be enough to keep things dry.
The story Monday will be who stays and who has left. Mathematically some classes have championships already tied up. Other racers though could see their positions jump by going rounds, or even winning. Cooler air will be accompanying the front that has moved in, and we could see records fall and positions in the final points standings shift.
Gates will open at 8:00 am with racing starting at 9:00, we’ll be here to bring you the latest updates as fast as we can.
