The race will go on.

The Gulf Coast Dirt Track Championships  Saturday night were rained out Flomaton Speedway, but racing has been rescheduled for Sunday afternoon.

Gates will open at 10:00 Sunday morning. Hot laps will take place at 1:00, and racing will begin promptly at 2:00, according to Jimmy Goodwin, Flomaton Speedway owner.

“It’s pretty rare for a dirt track to race in the daytime,” Goodwin said. “Having it in the daytime will be pretty exciting instead of at night.”
