I am enjoying all of the reporting, and photo work, still and video. I hope all of you have a good time, but looking at the weather for you today, all I can say is stay safe and be careful. I tried to find a thread that talked about how we might handle ourselves in case of bad weather but could not find.

Take care none the less and hopefully you will get some racing done.

Good morning everyone, as you can see from the pictures its raining. There were reports of severe weather in the area, but nothing at the track. The rain came down heavy at times last night, but all is well.

The rain is light and and is supposed to be gone by the afternoon, but I don't see the sportsman running today. If they get anything in, I think it will just be the pros.

I appreciate all the kinds words, its lots of fun to do, although it can get crazy at times. I am hoping to get another in car camera, but it depends on the schedule and when we run. I guess I need to buy some more camera's. I was thinking how cool it would be to have a camera in two cars that are running each other.

I will be back with an update as soon as they let us know what the schedule is for today.

Attention in the pits, I need STOCK, Stock, Stock to the oars, please, STOCK to the oars! Help me, help me, help me!

Whups, wrong race!

Made the 1:45 drive out here this morning juuuust in case. I've been to Bristol when the radar "clearly" showed that it was raining, and we're like.... Mm, nope, sun's shining! 'Course I've been to Norwalk with a Sunny and 80 forecast that rained for 3 straight days.

We used to get the same story from PBIR. After about the third time making the 1 1/2 hour tow only to find the place under water, we'd call and ask the guy in the tower to stick the phone out the window - if we couldn't hear the rain we headed North!

Good luck to all this weekend!
