Word from the tower @ Maple Grove today

[Mike Delahanty]

In my day job, I deal w/ Asphalt and Dirt Oval Tracks and Sanctioning bodies across the country. The practice of proactive schedule adjustments based on weather and track conditions has been in place for years. It's rooted in common sense business practices that respect their Customers - the Racers and Fans (aka. revenue stream). They realized a while ago that there was nothing to gain by pretending that the weather and track problems didn't exist, and that everyone concerned would be better in the long run by making the go/no-go decision ahead of time. Maple Grove has always been one of the more progressive thinking tracks - it's no surprise to see it continue to put the customer first.

Of course, if they do cancel on Tuesday and it turns out to be a beautiful weekend, there won't be any complaints that they canceled needlessly and should have waited, right?
