So I watched a little bit of the Indy 500, and they stopped the race due to rain. Nascar also stops a race or doesn't race at all if it rains. Motorcycle racers race in the rain (which i would consider much more hazardous given the lack of a cage around them). Last weekend the Motogp race got rained out like 5 laps into it or something, and before switching bikes midway through the race, there were many guys that stayed out for a good amount of laps while on slicks even though the track got VERY wet.
Personally I love watching rain races just because it's way more technical and it's not just a matter of equipment and money, but rather skills. With that said, why don't oval racers race in the rain? Is it purely because they have no run-off or something else?
