Suprise, surprise... rain at Unity

This would make it 3 trips in a row for me where rain plays a part at Unity Raceway.

Cars are circling the track now as we put the wraps on what will likely end up being somewhere in the neighborhood of a 45-minute rain delay. All qualifying heats were in the books just after 8 p.m., and the Pro-4 Late Models were on the track to start their 20-lap feature when the rains hit.

It was a much lighter rain than the one that blew through here about 5 hours before, one that left 1/3 of the pit area looking like Lake Nason, as Puncin St. Clair put it.

Should be noted that there are only 11 Super Street cars here for the main event -- the Hight Chevrolet 75, which, by the way, pays $800 to the winner. With 7 divisions on tap for the evening, there are only about 50 cars signed in across the way. Suffice it to say, that's not good news.

No truth to the rumor that there are more mud puddles in the infield than cars for the Super Street feature.
