I wish we could upvote or downvote the commercials.

This almost as bad as the half time of the super bowl.

It was not raining at the time.

The race is toast for the day or at least several hours.

Well...there is such a thing, otherwise, what's the point in having fenders?

How long would it take them to switch back to slicks instead of wasting valuable time air-drying the track to bone dry conditions?

Yeah, the Rolex 24 seems pretty civilized. They go real fast, turn left and right...don't crash a lot.

Then there's USAC, they have excitement. 140 MPH sideways or backwards....on dirt.

Wheel stands when the track is just right.

:::Well...they have no wipers...;):::

I think I remember seeing wiper blades on the cars at the road courses.

Any body know for sure?

rain x doesn't work well on lexan windshields... and it's kinda difficult to use headlights when it's raining as recommended when they're fake... 😎
