Then on Sunday afternoon Skagit Speedway will host it's first ever Hornet Enduro. Cars will race in 3 segments. Broken up into 80, 80 and 40 lap sections. There will be a 10 minute break between segments to allow refueling, tire changes and driver changes (Driver change optional). Entry fee is $30.00 with 1st place paying $250.00, 2nd place earns $150.00 and 3rd place is $100.00.

This Saturday night and Sunday afternoon at Skagit Speedway's US Hornet Nationals and 200-lap Enduro, track announcer Kaleb Hart will make his season debut. Driving the Racinghartmedia, Grandma and Grandpa Anderson, Ashe Family Racing and H2H Sponsored 88 Ford Escort.
This will be Kaleb's second foray in to Hornet Racing having participated briefly in the 2007 event.
His father Kelly Hart will be announcing both nights, without actually watching any of the laps that Kaleb competes in.
More to come, on Monday when this event is all over.

How bad did it rain on Saturday? What kind of shape was the track in after all that rain on Saturday? Rain Gods must not have like Skagit as that place was just soaked at 1 pm on Sunday.

It poured Saturday and was raining like the dickens when I got out of town at 230 Sunday afternoon. I've been at Skagit quite a bit over the years, and when I got up Sunday morning, and saw the grounds, then peaked at the pits, then looked at the forecast, then saw the radar I was pretty sure it would be cancelled at 9am. Steve put off the call till almost noon. Steve wanted to wait as long as he could before making the call. But when the storms started gathering just south of the track and kept pushing through there was no way it was going to happen. It would have taken a couple hours to get the track ready. There was no way anyone was going to sit on the rain soaked bleachers (They were soggy). And the pit area was the worst of the situation, I think the track would have been fine. So a late start, and then to have that late afternoon storm approaching, would have meant a lot more unhappy campers. It was the right call.
As for rescheduling. The window of opportunity to get new clay on the track and everything done in the post season closes fast. It takes time to do that project, among others to close down and winterize the entire facility before the fall and winter weather comes. I doubt with that in mind that there will be a make-up weekend for HONATS.
There are very few racing events left at anyone's track in 2008 here in Washington State. Weather, cold, high school sports, college football, are all reasons why tracks do not schedule too deep into September. Time to winterize the microphones and put away the pens for this announcer for the season. I'm ready for the off-season. Thanks everyone for the great racing shows this year.
