Talked with Allen last night after he got back from Bill's. He said they got a little rain but the track was still in really good shape. :greenflag:

We will see what happens this morning. Looks like the rain could move north. I'll post the next update at 10am.

[AJS]

Thanks for the update Sonny.

I need to know by 11:00 so I can make a decision on Motel room.

[Sonny B]

2 inches of rain overnight. :mad:

The good news is the weather is clearing, the sun is out, and the jet driers are on the track.:D

We may get to race tonight. Next update at 11am.

[ToKeN]

[Sonny B]

Nothing new to report. Track is wet and it will be 3-4 hrs before we can get on it.

We are going to wait it out for now.

I'll try to give an update about every hour or so.

Race start time will be pushed back to 5pm.

Hey I'm a Maryville local thinking about coming up tonight for the racing if the weather holds. Anybody got an address for Allens or some directions? Thanks.

[Sonny B]

Allen said the track is looking good. Should be ready for practice about 1:30 or 2pm.

Racing will start at 5pm. :greenflag::greenflag::greenflag:

Thanks Sonny!

[Sonny B]

Darn!!! We got the first few heats finished and got rained out again.....:mad:

Thanks to Allen and all the guys who tried to make it so we could race tonight. And to Big Bill and his crew for the efforts last night.

Reschedule date for the King of the Wings will be posted in a few days.

For all those who drove such a long way sorry we could only get one of the three nights of racing completed. Maybe the weather will cooperate next time and we hope you can make it back.


One last thing. A big thanks to all the sponsors for your support. We still have a lot of great prizes to give away when we finally get a chance to race. Thanks guys!!

An amazing thing happened on my drive home last night, as soon as I crossed the Mississippi into Iowa, the moon came out and the stars were shining, IT'S GOOD TO BE BACK IN IOWA.

Had plenty of fun practicing, but boo on mother nature, thanks to the guys in Maryville, Big Bill and Allen for trying to make this one of the best series of races yet.

Maybe next year.

[Todd Putnam]

Man, that stinks. We looked at the weather all week, and just couldn't justify the 34 hour round trip with it looking like rain in the forecast.

Maybe we can get to the make up race - Glad to see you got at least one of the races in. Hard to believe that Mother Nature isn't a sprint car fan...:confused:

[MiniT21]

How's the new date coming? :D

[Fineousfingers]

I'm not official, but I'm hearing Oct 3rd... Could that be the magic date? What about it, Allen, Sonny???

Jimmy

[AJS]

If that's the date, I'm out, a wedding and kids in town.

Oh Well.

[jake86]

I would be out as well. I will be at Kansas speedway for the cup race. The 10th would work best for me.:thumbsup:

[wallride14]

I'm out too dang it! Late models nationals in knoxville that weekend:(

[Sonny B]

Looks like Oct. 3rd will be the date.

Sorry to those who can't make it back. We really did not have a lot of options. The farmer needs to get in the fields and make some money.

[Mr.Wolfman]

Hey, at least we get to re-schedule,,,,and go rac'n

Wolfman

[BigT]

Thanks Sonny for the Updated

[jenzorace]

I have a motorcycle safety test that day.

[jake86]

Looks like it will be a low turn out.

[Gary]

I for one can make it,
Anyone else?

[smitty]

With some of the people not going to be able to make it, it looks like I'm moving up in the standings. :D

Sorry that some will not be able to make it, but really glad that I am!

See ya there

[Allan Webster]

I'd love to come back there. Between vacation time (Open Wheel) and expenses of flying, etc. Just can't swing it. Disappointing after running so well at Maryville (atleast in nitro).

Good luck to everyone.
