This was on another site and posted by track operator/owner..........
First of all I would like to thank everyone that came out and supported this event. We knew going in to this weekend we were going to have to fight the weather but we didnt realize we were going to be up against the county also. We had a tremendous amount of rainfall yesterday that turned our back lot into a mud field. We were in the middle of trying to figure out the best way to get everyone out of the field when the sheriff for Davie county pulled in. He informed us that we were not aloud to start a race car prior to 12 noon due to a state statute for churches. The statute states you are not allowed to impede a church service with noise. We were told management would be arrested if we were to move forward with our plans to start at 10 am to try and get both races in. We asked if management was arrested could the event still continue as planned at 10 am and were told no they would keep arresting everyone until there was no one left to manage the race. At this point we realized there was no hope in completing both events between the 12 noon and 8 pm curfews we have, along with the mud situation everyone in the back field was dealing with. So we decided it was best to postpone the event until a later date. We know this decision will not be the best for everyone and we do apologize for that but we had to do what was best for the majority. We hope everyone can come back for the reschedule date which should be finalized later this week.
