HURRICANE WARNINGS, CONCERNS FOR SAFETY OF ALL, FORCE CANCELLATION OF SATURDAY AND SUNDAY EVENTS AT GRANDVIEW
BECHTELSVILLE, PA August 27, 2011 . . . Earlier in the week an earthquake shook things up in the neighborhood and then hurricane warnings were the talk of the area but plans for Saturday night racing continued.
However promoter Bruce Rogers and his track crew could not win the battle with Ma Nature as the forecast for heavy rains and winds forced Rogers to surrender to the elements and cancel the four feature racing show that had been planned for Grandview Speedway on Saturday night.
“We did not want to put anyone in an unsafe position if we tried to run a racing event,” said Rogers. “All indications are that we are facing very serious weather conditions so we felt it was in the best interest of everyone involved to cancel.”
The rainout marks the eighth time this season that Saturday night racing has either been postponed or cancelled.
Plans for the rescheduling of the Vince’s Towing Legends Owners race and the Sidewinder Sprints, special events that had been planned for Saturday, are still being discussed.
In addition the NEETS Enduro events scheduled for Sunday, August 28th have been postponed until a later date. That date is still to be determined.
