Byron is proving to be a challenge - the tower is the size of a phone booth and already has four people working in it, no phone lines, no Internet connection, and the reporter's cellular air card doesn't work at the track. He couldn't even find a flat place to set his laptop up in the tower, so he is working out of his car and his hotel room.
Since he was unable to work in the tower, race officials wouldn't let him take today's tech cards out of the tower to get driver names and such into his computer, so he had to wait until the end of today's activities and have them download the race info from the CompuLink timing system on a floppy disk. Meanwhile, he went out and bought an overpriced USB floppy drive so he coule read the driver info from the floppy and he is going to work on the reports tonight, in his hotel room.
Bottom line - maybe tonight, maybe in the morning for today's race, a little quicker for tomorrow's race since he will have all the driver info already loaded to get started with. Still won't be able to post anything until he leaves the track, however, and may not send anything until he gets back home tomorrow night.
