Local news says 40% mostly in the morning.

 

We're also in the middle of an extreme drought, so don't get excited about rain until your shoes are wet.

No Race Monitor coverage?

Thought everyone was using this except NASCAR.

I would LOVE to see external video of the cars going up hill to T1 after the green. If someone could stand near T1 and get video and post it up quickly that would be awesome and much appreciated.

A little of both would be appropriate.

From reading Todd Lambs posts on face book sounds as if he had a little confusion at the gate in the paddock this am.

I am not even there and I think I could hear Danny S doing his rain dance !

Delta flight attendants didn't appreciate me doing my rain dance in the aisles. I showed them the Harlem Shake video but that didn't make it any easier. Have to get up early tomorrow and beat the African drums!!!!

Man security at the gate is TIGHT! We had to get the Marshall in charge just to allow us to take our tow vehicle out to run errands and come back in. Apparently that little sticker we got for going in originally means nothing. There is literally no room to park in the paddock at all! Which is why I understand them being tight about vehicles but it is cramped!
