"Did anyone show up on the original weekend?" Yes, Seymour Pederson.

The reason this rule came about was because of the frustration of a western Midwest race team who twice drove a couple thousand miles last year to get rained out without making a pass, and being unable to make it back for the reschedule. The rule was proposed and approved at the Slant Banquet in January.
