Live from the Winternationals

With an 8:15 start time tomorrow and weather threats/early noise curfews I would hope they would give us more than 15 minutes to get in and get warmed up! We aren't sure what time we can start engines, if anyone knows and can pass it along....like Toby with gate times, no one here seems to give the same answer twice. We heard 8 a.m. but not sure.

I will try to help Toby in his reporting and take some pictures tomorrow as well. We are thrilled to be here, but a bit nervous about the forecast. Today's wind is a serious factor protector. There must be a steady 20+ mph head wind today, sure glad we aren't racing elims into that!

No race motors are allowed to be started before 8 AM. They said there are supposed to be parking racers at 7 AM. Most people just tow their cars to tech so they don't have to start them. Somebody should have a rental car you can borrow for towing.

Edit: I reread your post and take it that you are already here and teched. That's the way it's been for years. Start motors 8 and run Stock at 8:15

Thanks, Toby. I seem to remember that, but no one was 100% sure. See you in the lanes tomorrow!
