I would say it will depend on how hard and how much it rains Friday night and Saturday. The track can handle quite a bit of water--- so can alot of the pits. The place dries out fairly quick but if it comes a flooding rain like we have had 3 or 4 times this month..... probably won't happen until rain date in August.
 
I hope they get it in this weekend I really don't wanna see this race be back to back Sunday looks sun a cool but sunny I think it would have to down pour all do at for it to be a washout Sunday too I know it's gonna hurt kart count for being a Sunday it hot laps starting at 12 see racing done.by 7
 
We are going to make a call by lunch tomorrow. Luckily Our track and facilities can withstand quite a bit if rain. We will do everything we possibly can to get it in for you guys!!

14 64 gear won last week!!

I was looking back at old post on this event and havnt seen where they have said rain date will be in august,, I say if it gets rained out run it within the 1st 2 weeks of may,, the schedule has us off for a month between the first and second race anyways
