Will the AutoZone coupons still be good for next week's show?

I'm actually kind of disappointed that the races were cancelled. I've been keeping an eye on the weather at WFTV's weather radar and no rain is showing up on the east side of Orlando. Some clouds, but no rain.

doesn't really matter. if it got hammered last night ( like i hear Orlando did ) the track will be weeping too much in the corners to race on.


Mark -
what's the word on the events? everything that was scheduled just gets canceled? they going to push them back? what up?

[Andy S]

Looks like they probably made the right decision and got the timing absolutely perfect. We're about 10 minutes from OSW and when we ventured out at 7pm last night it had just started with a light but steady rain. Would have hit OSW just about the time to start the racing, and was enough to make all the roads here soaked and slippery. A brave call to make as it was cloudy but dry all afternoon, but I reckon the rain would have hit at just the worst possible time.

Todd... I will check on the events and keep everyone posted

Andy S... Right you are... Our goal with making the call early was to save everyone the money it costs to tow out there... We knew it was coming and it wasn't gonna be good... Just didn't want people to spend their hard-earned dollar for nothing.
