Racin' Down the Road night number forty ended before it began! With the pits filling up at Adams County, Il. Speedway near Quincy, an off and on light drizzle became constant, eventually soaking the grounds to the point that promoter Jim Lieurence had no choice but to pull the plug on the nights' races. While My Race Pass showed thirty two cars on hand, there were several more waiting to sign in, wisely avoiding a pit road that became an adventure of its own, with at least one big rig needing a tow to make it through the muck. Along with Crate Late Models, UMP Modifieds and Dirtcar 4 Cylinders, the Pure Cool Hart B Modifieds were on the card. Sprint Invaders headline the action next Sunday with the schedule showing Crate Late Models, IMCA Sport Mods and Street Stocks as well, check Facebook for updates.
This Sunday night cancellation put a disappointing exclamation point on what started out as a potential three race weekend. Visiting grandson Keagan, his wife Megan and their boys had us in line for a pair of race nights following the Malvern Bank Cash Money Super Late Model Series. However a passing storm caused electrical issues and a cancellation at what would have been a new to me track, Midway Speedway in Lebanon, Missouri on Friday. Then with early morning showers on Saturday, Lake Ozark Speedway in Eldon, Missouri wiped out what would have been the first race track visit for great grandson Chester. Oh well, at least the rain held off for a Saturday morning visit to the St. Louis Zoo!
We will try again this upcoming weekend for a full slate of action. Friday the Hoker Trucking SLMR East Series will visit Lee County Speedway in Donnellson followed by a trip to the fast half mile at West Liberty Raceway on Saturday. Then it will be back to Adams County, Il. Speedway on Sunday for Sprint Invaders. The season is quickly winding down, turn off the T.V. and head to the track!
