strong … we had some rain and there was considerable lightening in the area as well.”
When racing resumes Tuesday May 22nd, the entire night will be restarted with
any drivers that were in attendance will utilize the same lineups. Any drivers that were not
signed in will fall in behind.
Anyone that was in attendance May 15th is asked to keep their wristbands for
admission.
May 22nd will be the first night of the season that the Drummond Home
Hardware Garden City auto Complex Novice Division will have a Burris Tire Feature in addition
to heats
