California Raining
No California Dreaming if you were one of the fans stuck at that track. Holy shit! I cannot believe that NASCAR did that to the fans. I understand about trying to get the race in and doing whatever NASCAR can to get the race in on the day of the event. I understand fans were needing to fly home or go to work the next day. But, damn Sam! Those poor fans endured a long day of shitty weather.
I looked at the forecast and weather radar on Weather Underground and even me, an UNTRAINED weather professional, was able to look at the radar and see what was coming in from the shore and realize there was no way that they were going to get that race in.
Instead, they kept people in the stands buying meal after meal and beverage after beverage for hours upon hours upon hours of soaking rain. I imagine the track was also making a mint at selling rain gear too!
If they had called the race earlier and just given up and run the whole damn thing the next day, team owners and fans could have better opportunity to secure lodging and better conditions to spend their Sunday. We're hearing about all these drivers and even members of the media who have been battling the flu bug. Wonder how that all started?? Imagine the fans!!!
Shame on NASCAR for their greed and moronic ways!!
