They fired the cars then it began to sprinkle so they shut them off. After a couple of min they refired and made the run. At half track it was raining and Gray almost wrecked and it sounds like he did a hell of a job to save the car. Then it rained real hard and all the pro stock cars and bikes in the lanes went back to their pits.

What was the spotter at half track doing? Isn't that why he's there, to check the track for things like....RAIN!

Oh, wait. Budget cuts may have eliminated that position. Besides the starter can simply look for spectators in the stands down at half track. If they start covering up, it must be raining and he can hold up the race.

I was told they didnt run the dryer down the track, after it had rained enough, after they had done the first burnouts. Sounds like they both hit some water way down track , WJ just treaded it a little better !
