Here's the email I got -
John Bisci LVMS Public Relations (702) 632-8231 jbisci@lvms.com July 13, 2005 MEDIA ADVISORY: Thursday Night Street Wars and GlobePC.com Show 'n' Go Friday at The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway cancelled due to excessive heat; Saturday's Jerry's Nugget Championship Drag Racing Series late-night Pajama Party NOT CANCELLED LAS VEGAS -- Thursday Night Street Wars and Show 'n' Go Friday at The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway have been cancelled due to extreme heat. Temperatures in Las Vegas have exceeded 110 degrees. Saturday night's Jerry's Nugget Championship Drag Racing Series late-night Pajama Party has not been cancelled. The event will start one hour later to allow for air and track temperatures to cool. Gates will open at 6 p.m. Time trials will begin at 9 p.m. and eliminations will start after two time-trial runs (approximately 11:30 p.m.). "We have cancelled Thursday and Friday night's races in the interest of safety for fans and racers. With temperatures expected to reach 115 on both days, it would not be safe for our guests to spend long periods of time outdoors and there is no way for us to safely race on a track with a surface temperature in excess of 150 degrees," said Chris Blair, LVMS senior director of drag racing operations. "Moving the starting time back one hour on Saturday evening will enable us to wait until the track is properly shaded before we begin our track-cooling and race prep. It was necessary to cancel the Thursday and Friday night events as our schedule and the work schedules of our racers would not allow us to start at the later times. By concentrating our efforts on Saturday's Pajama Party Classic we believe we will be providing our racers and fans with a much better - and safer - racing experience." Fans who wear their pajamas to Saturday night's event will be admitted for just $3.00. In addition to prize money and a trophy, the winners in each of the five Jerry's Nugget Championship Drag Racing Series classes also will receive an LVMS bathrobe and teddy bear during the early-morning victory lane ceremonies. For more information, contact The Strip at LVMS at (702) 632-8213 or visit www.lvms.com or www.lvmsstrip.com. |
That sucks. I have never heard of that before.

Interesting... I guess that makes sense.
