Anyone know what's with the house out past the end of the track?

The track ends at a 1 lane road and the sand trap that you see is across the road. They have a flagman stop traffic on that road when cars are running. Been that way for years.

I grabbed it, shut it, went back in and figured it is what it as at this point... A minute later, and my canopy lost its battle with life at Mohnton, PA

That hurts..... Not a cheap fix.

My father and I used to love going to this race, but finally called it quits years ago. Two hour drive to get rained-on just got old. Good luck to all those that are out there waiting it out. I hope the Dutch goes better next week, I'll be there for that.

Here are the weather numbers for today, I don't expect it to change much. It looks to be very quick by the numbers, so it should be interesting to see how many of us will trigger a review.

Its still cold and damp feeling, but the track is almost dry and looks good. The rumor is Stock will be out first as soon as the finish prepping the track..... Stay tuned.

weather numbers...
Temp 58
Humid 75%
Bar 29.65
DA 825ft
wind cross tail 5-6 mhp
