I would take the opposite point of view... after Surfers last year, CART management would be considered very irresponsible (and perhaps liable in a court of law) if they willfully held the race in rainy conditions that could initiate a repeat of the carnage of Surfers. I think in that case, profits should come second rather than having people die because of a "need" to complete a scheduled race under any circumstances. Its a tough nut... pitting lives against lost revenue.
