yeah, rain dates stink, but part of racing ESPECIALLY here in the sub tropics.

After the BMP Challenge in April (yes, at least we got the challenge in) a few of us stayed for the night event. Right before the sportsman class was supposed to run for our first Elim round, it started raining. We got a rain check.

After the May BMP Challenge for a Wally, the night event sponsored by National Dragster was rained out too. The odd part is, I was using my raincheck tech card from the last rained out night event. That event has been rescheduled after the BMP Challenge scheduled for 6/25. What are the odds it will rain on my double rain check?
