Watkins Glen in the rain

Not according to Formula One supremo Bernie Ecclestone. He want's sprinklers on the track to make F1 MORE exciting.

LOL Yeah, I heard that! What a maroon... :rolleyes:

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. :D

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?

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.;)
 
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.
 
The weather may move off.

They will try like Hell to get half today instead of Tuesday.
 
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?

NASCAR should never try to get part of a race in.

This IndyCar race is stupid:mad:
 
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. ;)
 
are the DP's still there? NASCAR owns Grand-Am, lets park the tin-tops and put them in the fiberglass/carbon-tops.
 
By the way, a cluster of showers with very heavy rain forming just to the south. Thousands of fans have already left the track.
