I remember that marine layer morning. I don't recall the year, but it was when the race was held in May.

I am going to the Historic Races on Saturday at Infineon just to check things out ahead of the big June 20 event.

Cow, we gotta figure out where we will meet. I am sitting at Turn 9 again this year. Got the Kasey Kahne deal (sorry folks, can't beat the price and the wife works for Bud. A Q and A with Kasey is included and the tickets were just $48 each, plus about that much in service fees, it seems ). Seats are a little low but I bet we can move up later.

Yes we have had rain this year, but I don't see it for 2/3 of the way through June. Just never happens.

I think no track dryers and they drug (dragged?) truck tires to put some heat in the track? I dont recall but that is what this guy thinks. I am putting my engineering degree to some creative use right now. Kinda like putting the snow dish behind the family Rambler.

Don't see a discussion for the Baja 500 yet, but I heard Robby took one of the Hummers down to Baja for some fun.
