Things can change quickly in Iowa, as I checked the Marshalltown Speedway Facebook page Friday morning to find Toby Kruse tooling around the track getting it in shape for the Showdown at Motown that night. It wasn't much later when I checked, and it was cancelled! They had just had a heavy pop-up downpour! That's Iowa for ya! Not the first time it's happened, and far from the last.
Since there was no racing in Marshalltown, we opted to see if we could check in to our hotel in Ames early for our "Racin' Vacation" that kicks off with tomorrow's Prelude to the Super Nationals at the Boone Speedway, followed by Sunday's day #2 of the Prelude, and then starting Monday, the 39th IMCA Super Nationals for the next six days. The forecast is sounding good for the marathon of racing, but I don't want to say that too loud! It misted on us all the way here, and when we came out from dinner, it had rained, and now it's still misting! This just needs to get it out of it's system!! We've got racing to see!! As of Friday evening, there is a record 924 pre-entries, from 27 states and Canada ready to compete at the Super Nationals. Wow!
Hope to run into some of you during the upcoming eight straight days/nights of racing. The season is quickly winding down and before we know it, we will be yearning for these days at the track. Let's go racing!
