Race over!

Its hard to describe how much the tv crew wanted the race to be done
yesterday! They started the race on time but in the fog. They ran
the first 10 laps under green/yellow flag - which just means that they
went around the track behind the pace car at 100 mph without changing
positions.

The "spotters" for the cars complained that they couldn't see the cars
well enough on the backstretch and so they stopped the race until the
fog lifted some.

We all started screaming at our monitors because the threat of a
rainout was eminent. They have to get half of the race plus one lap
on for it to be official. The fans in the stands weren't too happy
about them stopping the race either.

Finally with about a 1/2hour to 45 minute delay, the fog lifted enough
for them to race.

They got the whole race in and it rained a little afteward.

I'm in the airport now headed home.
