What it was like at Martinsville Speedway today



NASCAR is nearby this weekend, so I decided Court let me go to the Speedway to watch qualifying for Sunday's race. The closer I got to the Speedway, the harder it rained.

Qualifying was rained out. Many exhibits were shut down. I got drenched. It was a huge disappointment. After 30 minutes of downpour, I went back to my car.

But that's when the fun started. The more it rained, the more people were stuck in the parking lot. I watched driver after driver not know how to use 4WD. My Judy got through the mud just fine. It's a lot like driving in snow. I would have LOVED to really muddy her up, but I decided not to.

I don't know how people are going to get their cars in and out of those lots for Saturday and Sunday's races.

Crap, I can't watch the video from here.

Sorry it rained on you. I hope they get the race in.

I'm going to hell for hoping the truck race gets rained out tomorrow. They will race on Monday (I'll get to go).
