***ALL WEATHER RELATED ANNOUNCEMENTS WILL BE POSTED ON OUR WEBSITE AND SOCIAL MEDIA SITES (Facebook and Instagram – caution these social media sites are not always immediate to your feed).

IF THERE ARE NO POSTINGS, IT IS BECAUSE WE ARE STILL RACING!

Drag Racing is a sport that relies on a dry racing surface for competition. To address precipitation on the drag strip, Milan Dragway will make every effort possible to dry the surface following a rain delay within reason.  Occasionally, Mother Nature prevents a race from completing.  If an event is cancelled due to inclement weather, the promoter of the race, i.e., Milan Dragway, NHRA, outside promoters, etc. will make the call regarding rain cancellations.  This information will be announced via the PA system, posted on our website and social media sites as soon as possible. We will not speculate or predict what will happen with pending inclement weather or if a race will be cancelled. We will do our best to attempt to run every race to completion when doable.

RAINOUT POLICY AND RAIN CHECKS – NO CASH REFUNDS

If an event is cancelled due to weather conditions, the Race Director and Track Management will announce if rain checks will be available. If eligible, please stop at the ticket booth with your ticket to receive your voucher prior to leaving the property.
