Binghamton Pre-Race Notes: The track is really muddy because it rained all day yesterday; Saturday's practice was eventually cancelled. The sun is out today, and with all the extra morning activity the track is drying out slowly.
Langston is here but is still too sore to ride from his hard crash last week at Millville. He'll sit out this week.
