To date, five of eight scheduled races have been rained out in 2010. “Two years ago I believe we had seven rainouts, but to have this many right out of the box is pretty tough,” said Goral. “We’re hoping our luck will change, and the sooner the better.”

IMCA modifieds will have $300, $200 and $100 thrown into the top three feature positions while the stock cars will have $200, $125 and $75 thrown into the top three feature finishers.
