Correct on both counts. 1pm start and the forecast is for rain in the morning and partly cloudy in the pm. 2am is the curfew.

They don't seem have as many commercials during a rain delay.
If they cut off Flipper in mid-sentence, no one would care...

I had a funny experience with Mike Helton a few years ago. I had a dispute with a track official in Richmond a couple years ago as to what was permitted into the stands. They told me I could not bring my video camera into the track!

I threw a fit and told the track official that I would take it up with Mr. Helton.

Well, the whole thing was a mistake and the official made a mistake. The track appologised to me later.

Anyway, I snuck my camera into the track and later I was just outside the tent where they have the drivers meeting. All of the drivers where walking by and I looked at the persom standing next to me and it was Mike Helton!

I thought about raising kane with him about what happened to me, by my young son was next to me and I thought “don’t make an idiot out of yourself.” I turned to my son and said “look, its Mr. Helton.” Helton could not have been nicer and was signing autographs and beng very friendly, as you might expect.

This really is a great sport

Well, this oughta be an interesting first 50 laps or so... an impound race, and one in which everybody had been set up for cool temps at night. Wonder how many might opt to give up track position and take a very early pit stop to reconfigure things... hmmm... can you pit on a parade lap?
