Why the TRack Event closed a hour early tonight.
I know this is going to pop up in a few threads so here it is in a nutshell.
Ron with the white turboed Civic swapped lanes and took out a time marker on one of his runs around 7:30, this was the first indicator it was getting humid out.
Then a hour or so after that the track crew came to me at 8:30ish and said the track was getting wet quick and that we were going to need to close it up early before someone stuffed it in the wall.
So I asked them to announce a 30 minute heads up over the PA system at 8:30 that we were making last call at 9:00 with lanes closing at 9:30. Ten minutes later some guy in a red Tran Am went completely sideways at almost the end of the track (about 1,000 ft out), missed the guard rail by inches, so the track manager stopped all runs at that point. The Trans Am was a daily driver and not a race car either.
It was done for safety, first time we have ever ended early but it was like a ice rink out there.
Hope everyone had a good time, the track was hooking well prior to 7:30 and the lanes were moving good.
Thanks again to Rev Xtreme for the sponsorship money to make it cheaper for eveyone.
