June 28th, 2014

   On Friday a passing shower hit just as cars and fans were arriving,  The track crew worked diligently to get the track ready and the program started only a half hour late.  But during the second Pure Stock heat the sky opened again.  The cars went pitward and the track crew went back to work, losing another 40 minutes.
The second Pure Stock heat was completed, but then it rained again, this time hard enough to kill the entire program  Brad Nesline and Charlie Walter won the two Pure stock heats between the rain drops.
    On Saturday,  the rain arrived early enough to stop things before they ever got started,  wiping out the entire weekend
