Rain delay chit-chat

[beantownkid10]

Gordon was given the 13th spot in a 12 man chase and you're complaining about ticker space? You Gordon fans are never satisfied.

We won't be until they hand him the Championship. duh.

 

[FenderBumper]

This goes beyond this year GHater.

How long have you been tracking his ticker presence?

 

[FenderBumper]

We won't be until they hand him the Championship. duh.

you're halfway there.

 

[Reck]

How long have you been tracking his ticker presence?

Pretty often. I went through a time where I only score watched.

I had just recently gotten into watching full races again. The new job is pretty flexible now.

 

[Nitro Dude]

The officials on the radio saying they have everything on the track to try and get it going.

I hope they hurry because I don't know how much more I can take listening to these baseball sportscasters.

Raining and looking like the race will finish on Monday. I bet nascar wishes they had the titan handy at the start of this event.

The forum pessimist

 

[Johali]

What does that mean? & why don't they run the cars around the track for a few laps to add some heat to the surface & quicken the drying process

That means the workers were talking trash on the officials channel and they also told all of the support trucks to ride around the track to help dry it.

Have you seen the radar? The rain is done for tonight and they've been drying the track for a while. The race will resume tonight.

Is FB just talking smack or is it really still raining? If so this is a wrap. 8PM now. Pretty late for a race to start.

 

[ElliottFan]

Rumors swirling the race will restart monday at noon.

 

[racer8]

Those officials tend to forget that anybody with a scanner can listen to them, they just told all of the support trucks to get on the track with the dryers.

I've heard nothing for the last 15 minutes. They must have read your post.

Only 7:00 (central time) in Chicago...for what it's worth.

That would be very stupid. The rain is clearing out.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

It would be no different than if the race had started at 7 pm EST and was rain delayed for an hourish. No rain, track nearly dry, lights at the track, let's go racing.

 

[Johali]

MRN saying the track is drying and the race will probably restart.

 

[Reck]

Man that Red Sox ballgirl is very enticing.

 

[beantownkid10]

MRN says they will return to the airways at 9 PM EST. Hopefully that means racing.

they have to do something I guess. It is like watching paint dry otherwise

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Ab

MRN says they will return to the airways at 9 PM EST. Hopefully that means racing.

Another hour? Thank god there is more football on

 

[Reck]

Whatever. You're just a hater.

 

[Johali]

The officials just said they are shooting for the race cars to be on the track by 9 central.

 

[Racer1930]

Just don't let the cars on the track along with the jet dryer please

 

[beantownkid10]

It makes me want to punch something when I hear that the Air Titan was there but left.

Christ NASCAR, it's the ****** playoffs. I think you can deal with not forcing the track to "pay" for the right to use it. So stupid.

 

[Racer1930]

Wow...bummer, that's 1 hr 45 mins....eyelids getting heavy just thinking about that.

 

[StandOnIt]

rain tires and they would be going at it, big talk would be who is going to pit to change out the tires to slicks.

 

[FLRacingFan]

The officials just said they are shooting for the race cars to be on the track by 9 central.

Jeez.

 

[ToyYoda]

Alright, couple of bean counters, now we've got a party going.

That's a party that could last until, literally, 7:30 or 8:00 at night.

Thats how you take care of the fans at the track, By being so cheap and forcing them to spend exta hours at the track (and extra money) Just to save money.

 

[StandOnIt]

Jeez.

9 central and hopefully a green flag soon after that...MRN radio is reporting

 

[Greg]

I work on monday, hope they do it tonight even if it takes all night.
The rain worked ok for me, I visited my mom this evening, it served it purpose.

 

[racer8]

They are refueling the jet dryers in the MWR pits.

 

[ElliottFan]

Good grief. Why are the air titans not there? Bunch of cheap bastards.

 

[HoneyBadger]

9 central and hopefully a green flag soon after that...MRN radio is reporting

OH NO! It won't be on ESPN and might have to be on ESPN2 or ESPNews. What will you do?

 

[FLRacingFan]

True story.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Yea all the people saying Gordon being penciled into the chase was "all for the big bucks" now NASCAR is "too cheap" to run the air Titan and/or pay to use the lights.

Hypocrites

 

[Rockears001]

What channel are they going to be broadcasting on after rain delay?

 

[PeopleAreStrange]

The officials just said they are shooting for the race cars to be on the track by 9 central.

9 Central?! You sure you don't mean eastern?

 

[Johali]

Watch it.
