The "Classic" weathers the storm for best ever night
May 9, 2003
Severe thunderstorms rumbled through the Central Virginia area Friday afternoon with extreme weather conditions causing much damage with tornadoes and hail. The county of Dinwiddie was actually placed on a tornado warning at one point of the day. Well the storm roared through and did inflict it's damage, but the Southern Track Classic went on with only a slight delay as the meet officials and athletes competing not only made the best of the situation, but took it a step further by making it quite possibly the best Southern Track Classic ever.
