Temperatures predicted for Friday are expected to be in the 20's, and
there is a good possibility of flurries and/or showers. Owners and
management decided to make an early call out of respect for the
drivers, crews and fans who would have attended the races.

"Freezing temperatures can damage equipment and we didn't want to
force a driver to take that chance" said Jon Schwartz, track owner.
"We also don't expect our fans to sit through a show they can't enjoy
because of the weather, so we rescheduled it early to give them plenty
of notice to make other plans."

Little Sunset Speedway's first day of practice on April 14 has been
rescheduled for Sunday, April 15 from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m.
