We had a kid in high school we called sperm cell, or S.C. for short, but he didn't wiggle

Turns out it's high tide, so the wading and shore birds likely aren't feeding.

Does NASHCASH have a time protocol for “lightning in the area” or are they just winging it?

30 minutes but radar shows repeated strikes. Anyone want to guess how much daylight we have left?
From what I’ve seen so far, I don’t feel they need to do this street thing again. Maybe tomorrow will be better.

Funny stuff, they apparently race in the rain, but the cars are covered and the blowers are out on track. I'm really trying to like Nascar, but it's just sad.

This thread is generally positive about the race, what the hell are you watching?

They're stopped for lightning, not rain.

Watching these cars on the streets of a major city is cool as hell.

Besides Creed coming from the back, I'm watching single file racing. Pretty much what I expected though.

It has looked like a pretty typical road course race with maybe some reluctance because guys are still learning the track and don't want to push things too soon.

Damn Justin Marks just blew another engine. Really bad luck today. Hope he didn't oil the track.

Because of this BS ....
NASCAR stops for lightning because the safety of the drivers, fans, and personnel are high priority in the sport. Flashes of lightning could decrease visibility for drivers, which could lead to wrecks. NASCAR also ensures that fans and personnel seek shelter if a storm approaches.

I don't understand why people watch something that makes them so miserable. I've never seen that guy post anything even remotely positive about NASCAR.
If I hated something that much, I would find other ways to spend my time.

Beats another virtual tour of the city.

I would love to play one of the sims that these drivers use. It would be more fun than NASCAR Heat 5. I wonder how they compare to iRacing.

BS? A fan was killed a few years ago from lightning…
There's no rhythm to this race.

I have officially relinquished the remote control. I've gone to the deck to feed the mosquitoes

NASCAR, tracks, and other sanctioning bodies and facilities can't be sued for that.

I don’t know, but this isn’t a BS rule. Literally any outdoor event does the same thing for lightning.

Must be a big storm, I can hear the thunder from my recliner.

I didn't see officials evacuating the stands, besides all events have legal disclaimers.
There's a storm just to the NW of me. Looks a bit ominous.

There is no event, sporting or otherwise, that would continue with lightning in the area. NASCAR has lawyers that want to minimize liability. Waivers also aren't a license to act negligently.
Locking this until we resume tomorrow.
