Royce Miller again showed why he is one of the best promoters in the business. After spending huge money on radio advertising and other promotions, the weather killed his 2012 Legends at Budds Creek event. Temps of 106 degrees kept crowds down on Friday and a once in 100 years storm on Friday night took out the power to hundreds of thousands of east coast residents -- and to Maryland International Raceway. With no way to sell tickets or to time racers, Royce set a noon deadline for a go/no go decision on the race. At noon, Royce made the decision to call the event. However, with several hundred racers still waiting to get in, Royce opened the gates, let everyone in for free, and held a three hour untimed grudge run session. Royce has chosen November 10 to run the postponed event.
