Mother Nature Wins at Quincy Again for Sunday September 26, 2010

Mother Nature makes it 3 for 3 during the extended season at Quincy Raceways. Just too much rain, too little sun and not enough warmth has forced Quincy to cancel the events scheduled for Sunday September 26. Watch for more information on the Illinois/Missouri State Championships for the Lightning Sprints event scheduled for Sunday October 3. The plan at this point is to race on Sunday October 3 with a revised schedule of support classes. A formal announcement should be made available later in the day on Sunday September 26.
