This weekend NASCAR visits Southern California and races at the Auto Club Speedway in Fontana. But living in CA, I was wondering if they’d get the race in, considering the way the weather has been! Last weekend was a pretty torrential downpour and storms keep creeping down from Northern California. I have to pipe in about the rain… my wife ran the L.A. Marathon last weekend. I was watching remotely from home. The weather site I was watching said light rain all day on the website. But the videos of palm trees leaning over from the persistent gail force winds that brought down the most rain that L.A. has seen since the 40′s, or forced runners to DNF due to hypothermia doesn’t constitute light rain in my book! LOL. I’m just sayin!
I hope NASCAR has better luck with the weather!
Rain and Track Seepage
Friday’s practices at the Auto Club Speedway and such were delayed due to what is known as weepers, or little bits of leakage or drainage issues from under the track surface. Crews cut into the track surface to open up some drying vents.
Practice finally kicked it in gear, two hours later than normal. Of course that included a wreck from Kyle Busch that sent his team scrambling for their backup car.
