Just talked to Guy Webb...the All-Stars race at Port Royal is rescheduled to June 14th due to a late afternoon rain storm today.
They had 38 cars in the pits tonight and did everything they could to get the track ready. I'm sure swamp will make it official very soon.

They worked their tails off to get the track back...but 3 rain showers just finally sunk us around 8 pm. Not so much as an engine was fired, the pits were a swamp, and the track would have taken hours to run in. Official press release forthcoming.

Rain Postpones Bob Weikert Memorial to June 14th
PORT ROYAL, PA (5-12-07) The O’Reilly All Star Circuit of Champions
could schedule a race in the middle of the desert in a drought and it
would find a way to rain on race day. Once again, the All Star series
was forced to cancel and reschedule due to heavy rains that rolled in
over the mountains of Central PA. The heaviest downpour fell as the
pit gates were set to open around 4 pm. The rain was heavy, but brief
and the weather radar showed a chance to salvage the night. However,
as the track crew worked diligently to maintain control of the track
surface, the skies opened up once again. With several hundred fans
still rolling through the gates as the rain fell, the Port Royal
Speedway staff made an effort to make sure they got to see a race. As
the evening’s schedule was pushed back for a late start, the track crew
circled round and round, trying to dry the track. Finally, Mother
Nature made a decision around 8 pm that there would be no motors fired
at Port Royal tonight as the rain fell for a third time. The event has
been rescheduled in conjunction with the All Stars return trip to Posse
Territory in mid-June. The Bob Weikert Memorial will be run on
Thursday June 14th, adding to the two day show already planned for
Williams Grove and Lincoln on June 15th and 16th.
Join the All Stars on Sunday May 13th as the series heads to Bedford
Speedway to battle the ever so tough PA Posse on neutral ground. A
dozen All Star teams made the trip to Central PA and with all the local
talent that will be on hand for Sunday, it should be an incredible show
for the fans.
