"Live From" 2022 Baby Gators / Gatornationals

They pulled the plug on any on track activity for today. They are having issues with rubber peeling up from the surface. Tomorrow will start at 8 am. One time or Q run then eliminations. Sun is out now. Time for a rum and Dr Pepper.

Hey guys, I'm a little late, but they canceled all racing for the day. Stock is out in the morning if everything goes well... hoping no more rain.

The pits are a mess, but they are pulling rigs out to drier ground. Lots of rigs have left, but how many I don't know. I would think there will only be about 40 cars in Stock and the Same for Super Stock when and if we get to run.

Umm yeah why wouldn’t it? It’s Florida, they get weather down here, should we all quit and pack up on a Thursday?

Yes that's Florida! You think the track would have built a retention pond like a lot of Florida subdivisions have ...just have to keep the gators out of them. I'm sure hoping we don't have this issue in Houston next month!

And this is why we don’t travel to the Gators!

There are plenty of retention ponds at the track. The problem is that the land is very low lying and some are wetlands so not much more can be done without spending a ton of money. Normally we do not get this much rain this early in the season.

I’d be surprised if any racing is completed today with the forecast and rain coming down right now.
