ATLANTA (Sept. 17, 2004) — The Pro Hot Rod and Muscle Car Nationals Show scheduled for this weekend in Commerce, Ga., has been cancelled because of Hurricane Ivan's landfall on the Gulf Coast.
Organizer ProMedia said its decision was based on concerns for the safety of racers getting to the track, a weather forecast calling for continued dangerous weather through the weekend and track conditions, especially with more than a foot of rain predicted.
ProMedia said it is considering whether to reschedule the event. The race at the Atlanta Dragway is the seventh race of the Pro Edelbrock Drag Racing Series.
