"Rain"
Here in Sparta, Kentucky, the Speedway was bushwhacked by a couple of stray raincells and the skies opened up just as I finished taking my TwitPic of the lap leading Ford F-150.
There are some major questions on whether a race can be conducted tonight or tomorrow other than the weather. To wit:
  • Where does this rain drain to? Yes, the rain will follow the slope of the banking, but what about the rain elsewhere that has been finding the weepers?
  • When would the race be rescheduled? Not much leeway on schedule.
  • What about practice with the new rules envelope?

One thing--Versus has shown flexibility in working with the series to televise events--sure any rescheduling will not pose a problem.

We are on hold here at Kentucky Speedway.

Indy Lights on track. As you see in Tweets, this is a fluid (ugh but applicable) situation. Indy Cars will get 75 minutes of practice. One must hope for the best, and prepare for something a lot less.
