I was bummed that the 250 race was canceled, but it was the right thing to do. Running it later in the day wasnt really an option, as they were on a very tight schedule to get things packed and shipped out. within couple hours of the end of the race, most teams were packed and riders heading to catch the flights back to Europe.
The MotoGP race was pretty much red flagged due to the high winds. a tent was picked up and ended up on the other side of the fence (on the track side of the fence that is, it was the Yamaha display tent). As well as other debre ending up on the track, it was just too dangerous to continue.
I got a call Sunday morning asking if my girl friend and I could help out with race control. so I got to spend the day indoors watching the races from behind the scene, as well as in the garages of the some of the riders. Hope I can do it again next year
I really was bummed the 250 race didn't happen, as I was assigned one of the podium finishers to work with after the race was finished. Gives you a different perspective of the races when your working inside
