Green flag is scheduled for 8:10, so unless they have a hurry-up start... be just short of an hour.

We just started with the pre-race. The grand marshal usually makes his first appearance about a half-hour before things start (7:30, in this case), then issues the command to start engines about 7:50 (give or take a few minutes).
Light rain rolling through Daytona now, but there's light behind them clouds.

I forgrt now how far into or if we had made it through open fire cooked dinner but as the heat of the day wore on several thunderheads had begun to cook up as well.
the first sign that it was gonna get interesting was, I believe an air mattress came bouncing past us on the beach leading a stream of dust.
at that point we decided to retriet behind a stand of 15-20 foot shrubs. the dust cloud became a dust storm the Mojave would be proud to host. by then we had secured our stuff and piled into the back of Glocks truck, then noting the party across the bay.
the owner of an SK raceboat decided the his boat would fare better if he put out to sea as it were, but by the time he got it out into open water the wind had gotten into the 50-60 mph range and the waves were kicking up to about 6 feet.
way scary by lake standards. all he could muster was to maintain his position at full throttle and we're talking a jet drive boat with a full blown 460 berkleyjet pointing almost straight up! jumping out of the water like a marlin.
when it was over all we could do was toast LOTS of beer that we were mostly spectators and shake our heads and laugh...
no one hurt and even the BBQ was resurected after a while
To: WestCoastGal
Please don't fret. It sounds like y'all crashed without leaving the pits and that means that the BD's will be in 10th place later tonght...
