Sorry for ya man!!!

it's unfortunate but, the name of the game. All we can do is make the effort and hope mother nature cooperates. The south has desperately needed the rain about as much as we've needed to race.

Just the fact you guys drove the distances you did shows the organizers and sponsors their efforts weren't completely in vain. After spending some time with both on Friday night, that's all they ask for is effort on the racers part to make the race. If no one made an effort..... the sponsors wouldn't want to spend the money and there would be no race to get rained out!

Like you guys, I drove 8hrs round trip and was jonesing for something. I remembered there was a sled pull closer to home and was able to some what get my fix. It rained during my pull and down poured after. I was happy to get one pass in as it will hold me over till the next show !

in case anyone is interested..... video of my one pull

I want to thank everyone that braved the weather forcast to make the trip to Silver Dollar. Ed called me as I was getting ready to leave the hotel to give me the wonderful news.

I guess I should be thankful that the dry south is getting needed rain this year, but couldn't it just give us a Saturday off.

But, you guys taking the chance is important because had it not rained out, we might have not had any trucks if everyone stayed home.

The track was as disappointed as we were, and has asked if we want to reschedule. I will look at the calendar and see what I can come up with because I have a truck full of trophies that need a home.

syrupdawg · 05-26-2009, 10:38 AM

i think you should reschedule it soon cuz i would love to give one of those trophies a home!
