Rain delays suck. I'm combating the racing void by smoking a tri-tip in my Weber. The coals are almost ready
Tri-tip! I'll be right there!

LOL Yeah, I heard that! What a maroon...
And you are right, VaDirt. F1 races can be more exciting when weather plays a part in race day strategy. But I like to see the cars performing at their peak and you can't get that on a wet track.

Okay, so the rain looks like it's got two hours left. The latest they can start this race is 5:30pm which means they need it to quit raining by 3:30 or 4pm.
This race ain't happening today.

You don't get that with Steve Wallace in dry weather either, but he's still exciting to watch.

The decision on whether to postpone the race will be made by 4PM EST.

True Dat!
I loved it when Blinky caused that big wreck while Crusty was broadcasting the race. "Uh, I need to see another replay!". Too effen funny...

After Pocono and Watkins Glen anyone think #NASCAR should schedule summer races in Texas to end the drought?

Did Kyle have the same surgery his brother had to pin his ears back?

Rain should start tapering off over the next half hour. If it stops by 4, we will race tonight.

I hope so. I don't want to watch no "let's hurry up and race and get the hell outta here", non-barnburner, type race on Monday.

Huh?
Monday races are always great except for the race at Texass where every race sucks.

I'll set the dvr for an eight hour time frame - just in case.

Might want to set it for a 10 hour time frame, 60% chance of rain tomorrow.
The rain tomorrow is scheduled to start right on cue, 9am.

While at it, clear enough room on your DVR to record ESPN all day Tuesday as well.

Teams lining up on pit road to push their equipment back to the garage when the call is given. This will be the second postponement of a NSCS Watkins Glen race in three years.

I was waiting on the word it was canceled for today. Guess they wanna keep trying today.

I heard it could clear up this afternoon/evening. If they can keep track dry enough to maybe get the green flag thrown around 5 or 6 maybe they can get most of the race in?

Sounds like someone was listening to Journey up in Race Control.

The weather may move off.
They will try like Hell to get half today instead of Tuesday.

Per NASCAR.....
Dryers on track, looking at about 1:45 or more to dry. Average time of this event is 2:22. Could run to approx 8:00-8:10
Don't think that will happen.

If it does, more power to them. If not hopefully tomorrow.

NASCAR should never try to get part of a race in.
This IndyCar race is stupid
It is only 225 laps? So this race is only going to last an hour? lol.

I assume around 8:30ish.

Sunset is 8:10.
are the DP's still there? NASCAR owns Grand-Am, lets park the tin-tops and put them in the fiberglass/carbon-tops.

I believe they have interviewed every driver in the race today.

By the way, a cluster of showers with very heavy rain forming just to the south. Thousands of fans have already left the track.

The rain has started sprinkling at Loudon.
