Rain Washes Away Tuesday Night Opener at Riverside Raceway
By Jeremy Mayo |
June 6, 2006; Eagle River, WI. -
Afternoon showers and thunderstorms forced the cancellation
of Tuesday night's racing program at Riverside Raceway. The
race was supposed to be the first in a series of weekly
Tuesday Night shows at Riverside throughout the summer.
The official decision to cancel the races was made by track
owner and promoter Don Scharf around 2:30 in the afternoon.
By that time, Scharf estimated that a half-inch of rain had
already soaked Eagle River. More showers and thunderstorms
were forecast for the evening.
"The worst case scenario is that it would take until 9
o'clock to get the track packed in. We would line up the
first heat and then we would get a downpour. That would ruin
all the hard work we did to get the track ready."
Racing is scheduled to resume at Riverside Raceway Tuesday,
June 13. A full program, complete with Miller Lite WISSOTA
Midwest Mods, Fire-Up Fireworks WISSOTA Street Stocks, Pure
Stocks and Family Fours is planned. Hot Laps begin at 7:30,
with racing at 8:00. |
