One more thing... supposedly the rain date is for Monday (if it rains
Sun) not a later date in May.  (though I wish it was)

You sure it was a mistake? Sounds more like an easy out to me now that Penske
is no longer running the show there. A race with shitty attendance to begin
with is recheduled to early April? This turnout is gonna make the Phoenix IRL
race look like the Indy 500. Latest from the weather channel is windy with a
high temp of 47.It was snowing here earlier this week and its supposed to again
Sat. night, what the hell were they thinking? I'll be there, look for me on tv,
I'll be the guy wearing a hat.

I do wish they would come back to Pocono now that they've cleaned up their act.
They always drew 50 to 80k.  I was there for every race in the 80s except the
81 disaster when the evil folks at cart were trying to destroy open wheel
racing.
