Evan,

How are you liking our Tampa area weather so far?

3:50 pm EST -- And the rains came again -- we're on hold -- they had just started "clean-ups" for the sportsman classes -- weather is moving fast .OMG -- I think Wolfman Jack is on the PA . Before you go there , yes - I've had my meds today ! ! Funny things happen during a storm ........ they're calling cars back to the lanes as I type -- shorty storm like I said .

This is an amazingly low turnout for a d1 race. I wonder if the $170 price tag is the straw that broke the camel's back. It could also have something to do with the weather forcast.

div 1 has been paying $170 for 2 years already

Also might have something to do with the distance some people have to traval to get there.
Coming home on a sunday night driving through new jersey/new york is NO FUN!

An east coast race with no rain delay!
I don't think so! LOL!

Ok well at least you have a built in rain delay. Last week I think there was a race where 5 time runs were given on Saturday, with a 80% chance of rain Sunday and NOONE made the call to run the race Saturday. Nice Job.
