Another rainy weekend with several tracks losing shows both on Saturday and Sunday, but once again both Algona and Boone were able to get their shows in. Good for them! What I want to know is what kind of deal have Joe Ringsdorf and Robert Lawton made with the weather Gods this season?
Want a comparison? Both of these tracks and 34 Raceway have had events on the schedule for every Saturday night beginning on April 3rd. 34 Raceway in Burlington has been able to run five Saturday night shows this season.....five out of eleven for a success rate of 45.5%. On the other hand, both Boone and Algona have been able to run on all eleven Saturday nights. Seriously? No rainy season woes at these two facilities and I would have thought that Dick and Joyce or Kevin would have told us if they have erected some sort of big tent or a dome over these two tracks.
Now I'm sure that if they get rained out this coming week the "Back Stretch" will somehow get blamed for it, but I just had to point out one of the most unbelievable statistics of the 2010 season so far.
Check out the updated All Iowa Points on the "Points" tab at www.PositivelyRacing.com and don't be surprised if you see drivers that race at Boone and Algona near the top of their divisions! And for you Missouri readers you can find the Show Me state points there as well.
Here's hoping for dry Saturday nights, or let's make that a wish for dry "race nights" for all of our area tracks going forward. And when your favorite track is in action get out there and support the sport!
