Last race for the weekend. I'm worn out.

[jws926]

Look at that , fans ! nice to see them back.

 

[Brentford]

Seems like there's always a race going on. I love it, but I'm not so sure those drivers do.

 

[aunty dive]

Goodness.

 

[SlicedBread22]

This guys singing of the anthem is terrible

We better get one hell of a command lol

 

[Brentford]

Bonehead nominee before we even get the command.

 

[AdoubleU24]

Jon Secada was solid back in the day, he gets a pass

 

[StandOnIt]

Short Anthems matter.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Short Anthems matter.

It's an anthem, not a power ballad, not a dirge.

 

[mkline]

JJ's spotter said rain

 

[aunty dive]

Command from Jimmy’s northernmost tunnel.

Telling them to get car covers ready on radio

It arrived.

 

[carolinabuff]

Annnnnnd now the cars are being held on pit road due to rain

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

D’hondt just said “this is gonna be a while.”

 

[Charlie Spencer]

If they can stay in the cars, I probably don't have time to mow the front yard.

 

[DewChaser988]

I'm from South Florida.. it always does this at this time of year

 

[Pat]

la sigh

 

[donthaveanickname]

Do they have a huge air titan army like Charlotte?

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Afternoon race in Florida. What could go wrong?

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

We took the kids to Disney about this time a couple years ago. I think at least 5 of the 7 days had a pop up late afternoon shower like this. Yes, I’m a glutton for punishment (Disney in June)

 

[Ilovedthe90s]

Looks like they could allow more fans and still have social distance.

Rain on a night race?

It does this in most of the southeast in the summer.

Those showers at Disney are for cooling off and selling Mickey Mouse ponchos.

 

[ToyYoda]

The infamous 4pm Florida shower. Happens about everyday in the late spring and summer.

That was 500 people? Did some of them get out of the rain?

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

Just said there was lightning. Is that an automatic 30 minutes?

 

[harkin]

Turn 4 only.

Yep, if its within 8 miles of the track.

The best we felt all week was after getting caught in one at Animal Kingdom. Refreshing

 

[Brentford]

Doesn't look like anything really hit the track according to radar, so hopefully the delay isn't too long.

 

[PeopleAreStrange]

Here's the radar in Miami. The track is a tiny bit south of the radar site, which is the plus symbol right in the middle of the image.

The radar does slightly exaggerate how much rain there is. Much of the green around the radar site isn't reaching the ground...only the green that is adjacent to shades of yellow and orange.

The small area of orange south of the radar site concerns me, as it's near the track, growing, and doesn't seem to be moving.

Supposedly they were allowing 1000 fans in for this race
