Default Chances of Etown Cancel Saturday due to Rain/Flooding Friday?

What are the chances Etown will cancel on Saturday due to the rain in today's forecast? Last time it rained the day before a race I drove all the way to Etown, warmed the car up. then was told that water was coming up through the pavement from the rain the night before and would take "5-6 hours to clean up the track" then they shoved it up my *** by giving myself and everyone a "rain check" and refusing to give me my $ back. To say the least I'm 50/50 about leaving my house tomorrow morning.

That was a whacky day for sure. Sun was out, beautiful day, but could not get the top end dried, plus water was weeping in places on the 1/4.

No, we have not had enough rain to cause that issue, has been nasty here all day, but no heavy rain, just a damp, raw day.

See you all tomorrow!

Yeah, the wet ground will certainly cause a small delay until the 'first pass' can be made today but racing will take place.
I should be there by 11am for the various Panuzzo salutations, hope all others can be there for that as well.

It rained/misted water till late last night. It is really wet here and I am a few minutes from the track. Marc I'll see you later, Joey will probably come too. My wife has a school meeting otherwise we would bring the C7 too
