For the tracks where drivers earn All Iowa Points I started entering the full schedule three years ago to serve as my "checklist" to make sure that I had entered the results from each race date using color coding system. Red was a date that had been scheduled, black was a date that had been completed and blue was a date that had been cancelled, so going back to 2017 and checking the statistics for events scheduled through the third weekend in May, here was the "success rate" for each track as well as the overall totals.

| 45% |
As you can see the success rate has gone from 57% to 52% to 45% and I also found it interesting that the number of events scheduled up through this point in the season has gone from 231 to 221 to 219. So does that mean that promoters are learning a lesson about how hard it is to get a show in during the Spring? My perception is that has been easier to get shows in during than the Fall the past couple of years so that will be my next statistical project. Unfortunately with the forecast for the week ahead, I should have plenty of time to complete it.
Stay dry and we hope to see you somewhere soon on the Back Stretch!
