I have tickets for the Chevy Rock & Roll 400....?

Question

What happens if Hanna hits on schedule and the race is rained out? I'm driving 8 hours to Richmond to see this thing, and I can't stay if they run on Sunday, because I have to work Monday morning. What can I do? Am I just screwed out of $180 basically?

On that note, I could use some uplifting words and encouragement... somebody try to convince me that Hanna won't be a factor. =[

Answer 1

actually, they had the weather forecast for the track on "nascar now" yesterday, and their "best guess" as far as weather goes is that there will be much rain friday and saturday morning, but it should clear by saturday afternoon. that's the encouragement part. weather.com on the other hand, is another story...

good luck, and i hope it doesn't rain. that would really s***w up my weekend as well. i made plans for sunday already that it would be REALLY hard to escape. trying to record on directv without the schedule being "set in stone" is near impossible, because they keep moving the race to different channels if they can't pre-empt whatever is on. i hate that...

Answer 2

Sorry, but Hanna will be a factor and more than likely the race will be run on Sunday..........I just checked out the weather on weather.com and sadly, it is what it is..............Hope you can hang out until "Sun-day".....................

Qualifying should be fine for Friday though..............

I got a email from my friend who was at Elliott Sadlers Barn Party that he throws every yr, they had Blake Shelton singing anti-rain songs. Yep everyone was sounding like they would be racing on Sunday she said. I'm Hanna holds off and slows down a bit, so they canget Richmond in on Saturday night, theres nothing like Richmond under the lights.  I know its looks very discouraging but, I'm thinking positive and NO RAIN.

Sounds like you may be getting sick and have to take Monday off.....

Answer 5

First off, there are no refunds. Your tickets will be honored for whenever the race is rescheduled. If it's rained out Saturday, they will more than likely schedule it for during the DAY on Sunday, which will throw off the setups for the cars, but will work better for the fans.

The good news is that if it's rained out Saturday, you will probably be able to sell your tickets to someone outside the racetrack, maybe at only half price, but at least you may get something for it.

Finally, more good news, this storm appears to be a quick-hitter and each track has it shifting further and further East. There's a good chance in my opinion that the start may be delayed for an hour or so and that the race may run very late, but at least get it all in.

Keep an eye on the raceway site, they are giving updates twice a day.  Good luck.

Answer 6

i am currently in a hurricane watch on the sc coast and i think hanna will b a factor.  the tix r good whenever they run the race.

Answer 7

There is a 90% chance of rain in Richmond Saturday during the morning and afternoon, but as of now the evening when the race takes place it forecast to be just cloudy. If Hanna slows down and it rains the race out, the race will most likely be run Sunday afternoon.

Answer 8

Hanna wont be a factor

Answer 9

I wish I had some encouraging words for you.  I think I would be making plans to miss work on Monday.  All the weather reports say rain Fri nite and Sat morning.  But...we all know the weather predictions are usually behind just a bit, and in that case, I see rain on Sat. nite and race on Sunday.  Your tickets will still be good.  If I put out that much money and was gonna drive for 8 hours to get there, I certainly would do something about Monday so I could see the race on Sunday.  I hope it all works out for you and you have a great time.

*MOJO*

Answer 10

It's now 90 percent chance of rain/wind.  

:(  Fortunately I live 5 miles from the track and have Sunday off.
