Its official - this weather sucks. It was 80 degrees yesterday...but with the first All Star race in Ohio just days away at Attica the temps drop and the snow falls. The weekend forecast does not look pleasant for Northern Ohio. :(

ATTICA, Ohio (Wednesday, April 4, 2007) - Only in
Northwest Ohio can you mow your lawn wearing a t-shirt and shorts one day and
shovel snow the next. That unstable spring weather has prompted Attica Raceway
Park officials to cancel the Coors Light Spring Nationals featuring the O'Reilly
All Star Circuit of Champions scheduled for Friday and Saturday, April 6 and
7.
A cold front moved into the area Wednesday and is
forecasted to stick around through the weekend with high temperatures only in
the 30s with nightly lows in the 20s, along with snow showers.
"It just wouldn't be an enjoyable experience for
the fans and race teams to have to endure that kind of weather. With
temperatures below the freezing mark, track preparation and maintenance would be
nearly impossible. We all remember the night several years ago when the track
actually froze up...it was like an ice-skating rink during the B-main and the
rest of the night was cancelled," said Attica Raceway Park Operations Manager
Rex LeJeune.
The good news is the All Star races have been
rescheduled at "Ohio's Finest Racing" venue. The April 7 show - paying $5,000 to
win for the All Star sprints - has been reset for Friday, May 4 on Coors
Light/Underground Utilities/Bazell Race Fuels Night. The Fultz Fabrication &
Speedshop Attica Late Models will also be in action, running for $1,000 to win
($100 to start). The April 6 show - paying $3,000 to win and $300 to start
for the All Star Sprints - will be made up on Friday, May 25 on Coors
Light/Fultz Fabrication & Speedshop Night. The American Late Model Series
will also be in action that night.
"We really want to thank the fans and teams for
such a great opening night (March 30). We were presented with some wonderful
opportunities including as a huge crowd and good racing that created some issues
we will resolve such as getting the fans through ticket lines quicker and
speeding up the program," said LeJeune.

Not only in Northwest, Ohio, but take a trip to Northern Minnesota or North Dakota sometime...you can literally start the day mowing the lawn and have to pull the mower off and install your snowblower the SAME day!!!!!!!
Fenders are like vacuums... they both suck.
