Sunday, Sunday, Sunday......... Plenty of tracks race on that special day other than Memorial Day and Labor Day weekends. USAC at Kokomo, Susky/Baps, Port Royal late models are this Sunday, Sunday, Sunday. Race fans like Sunday races too, even when it is a rain date via the social interweb. Don't get a boo boo falling off your high horse. I bet you're a lot of fun at the track.

Our track attempted Sunday makeups for years. Didn't work at all. Cost them so much money, they did away with it. I loved the Sunday makeups and went to every single one!!! I was beyond disappointed when they did away with them and Saturday races were rained out----I had to wait an entire week to see racing again.
I think you're confused and think I don't support make up dates. I would for sure. However, I understand why, in some areas, it doesn't fly. Unfortunately, if Knoxville decided to run a Sunday make up race, I would be unable to attend as I have to be at work Monday morning and I live a solid 4 hours away. 
Also, by the way, just because we often don't share the same opinions, I can assure you me and my groups have a lot of fun at the track. I'm assuming by your name, you wouldn't have an issue with me coming back with a 6 pack every single time I take a piss----which is every 20 minutes.

I live in Knoxville and the sirens went off about a half hour ago but the rain is missing us tonight by 10 miles. Tomorrow is supposed to be mid 70's. Rain might be coming in later evening. Maybe they can move up the start tomorrow and get it in?

We are making our official decision at 11:00 a.m. I am 99% sure we are going to stay put. 4 hours is a long way to drive to sit through a severe storm and see no racing. I wouldn't mind if they moved it up, but then the only place I have to go is the campground. Not the ideal spot to be with the weather coming through. The more I type it, the closer to 100% that number is getting.

I decided Wednesday to skip the 562 mile ride. Next weekend at eldora doesn't look great at this point but only 90 miles for me

Good luck! Hope it works out for you. If weather looks better next weekend, we are going to run out for a Saturday night show at Knoxville just to see something going around a track!!!! We get crappy weather every April and act surprised!!!

Fair post. Sunday racing does well in certain regions and make up dates usually seem to work better in the earlier and later part of the season. I think you get confused with business practices and models, one size doesn't fit all. You assume a lot from my name but so have others.

Great shows each night. Glad the internet weather girls were wrong. Stayed at the campground Friday night, very quiet compared to July lol.
