Rain Delays the Start of the Snowball Derby

Rain Delays the Start of the Snow Ball Derby Update 4:20 PST - The Derby will go green at 5 p.m. central time tomorrow afternoon. It will be run as a ‘controlled caution’ race so teams will not have to worry about live pit stops – helping teams who hired over the wall guys and do not wish to pay them for a second day. 

The gates will open at noon. Speed51.com will continue to provide their great coverage on Monday as well. 

Update 3:53 PST - A vote has been taken and today's race has officially been postponed until Monday.

Update 2:40 PST - Jet Dryers are working to make the track the best for tonight's show, and they are almost all the way through with Technical Inspection! The track is shooting for a Green Flag for the 49th Annual Snowball Derby around 5:00PM - 5:30PM .  #SnowballDerby

49th Snowball Derby Red Flagged By Weather.

Rain Delays the Start of the Snowball Derby
Heavy rain showers soaked the track this morning delaying the Snowball Derby. However, Pensicola, Florida is now experiencing the sporadic appearance of blue skies.

The race promoter has borrowed a jet dryer from Darlington Raceway. It will take approximately an hour or so to get the half-mile oval dry enough to race after the rain stops. Having learned from this same ‘rain soaked track’ situation a few years back, Five Flags Speedway has also placed in new drainage in turns one, two, three, and four. They are hopeful of getting the 300 Lap race in today.


Who remembers the 2009 Snowball Derby Flood when we still raced! No worries fans this is Derby! #SnowballDerby
