There were only two Youth teams signed up for the event, and I hope to see more in the future, so spread the word. True Youth Racing(Eddie Edmondson,Nick Davis, and Richard Lindsey) all traveled from different states (VA,IL, NJ) to compete this weekend at Rausch Creek with ofcourse Rich Hetrick on hand in the pits to keep them running for the duration of the event.

With everyone signed up and less than two hours till the start of the race, heavy rain moved in over the track and it poured for atleast 1/2 hour.

With the risk of thunderstorms, John Pellan announced that if it at anytime during the race, it started to lightning, the race would be stopped. If it was stopped before the 3 Hours the racing would begin after the storm moved out, but if it was past the 3 Hour point, the race would be over at that point and the current positions would be considered the final results.

The Ambulance crew decided they wanted to park closier to the track, but found out quickly that would be next to impossible as they found themselves stuck in the mud.

One thing about Rausch Creek is there is plenty of big equipment onsite, so there were no worries about finding someone to pull you out of the mud.
