[Capri25] G-Series #6 Canceled

[Beth Frampton]

While I don't claim to know what Blake was thinking, I appreciate his call
tonight. At the time of his announcement we were surrounded by severe
thunderstorm and tornado warnings. In fact at least one Minnesotan was
killed by a tornado this evening.

Calling the race early provided anyone who wasn't entirely comfortable with
the weather an extra incentive to go home where they might be safer. While
it is not Blake's responsibility to protect us from harm, I believe he was
looking at the bigger picture and perhaps put safety ahead of race protocol.
How can we fault him for that?

Respectfully,

Beth Frampton
