Rained a little earlier but it stopped. The track is damp though.

We have a saying: "Turn around, don't drown."

That saying should be put in bars & breweries. Or before I ask for tequila.

If it's anything like the WEC race last year, it'll be a disaster. A little rain can be good for F1. A monsoon is not.

The heavy stuff is due tomorrow (Saturday). Could be several inches of rain. That's bad news here.

glad I made the trip out last year...I almost bought tickets to this race, opted to watch from my hot tub on Long Island instead...good call

Floods in the area and I forgot my bathing suit!!!

Maybe they should issue water skies to the teams instead of tires?

Honda should use their outboard motors this weekend, I'm pretty sure they make more power.

As a mclaren fan I'm hoping for a competitive engine just to get away from the power jokes...they make me sad

LOLS2K · 10-24-2015, 10:15 PM

Are they televising quali tomorrow before the race?

Same here. The jokes are a coping mechanism
