Rainouts and makeups will be handled a little differently in 2007. If we get rained out for a particular event, we will attmept to use the second session of dates that are already on our schdule. This means double headers for us just like in baseball. There are four dates that we will first attempt to use as 2nd session makeups for these double headers. The dates that will be considered first are 4/14, 5/12, 7/7 and 10/20. Please be advised we will make all efforts to make up a rainout which means if we get past these four dates, we may add another date at the end of the season.

Nice Job Edgar. What is with the 8:30 start. I assume these are gate times, but when do trials & elims start?

Do I read it right that those 11:00 starts mean no night racing?

Hope so!

Wise ass I think the 8:30 start time is new and if Edgar is correct we'll be running trials at 9:30 which is also new. Of course, it doesnt make much difference for you.

Happy Holidays Rob & Family
