Woodburn wind & rain out 8-30-15 002But Mother Nature had other plans. Wind and rain greeted everyone not long after the track prep was completed, bringing a halt to the start of racing. The rain quit but the wind did not, forcing the track to cancel Saturday’s racing. To the best of anyone’s knowledge that has been around Woodburn the cancellation due to high winds was a first.

The wind pushed away the rain and that brought out the kites for some fun in the windy conditions.

There will be lots of re-scheduling to bring the bikes back, check Woodburn’s web site and Facebook page for info.
