Top 9 places in AS are about 1 second apart in total.   Some spots are thousandths apart ... Don't blink!

9-5:30 approx....to finish on the east course.  West course was done earlier by maybe 45 min.

Weather held out ... sunny at the end ... see what happens on day 2 tomorrow.

West Course commentary:  "Rooster tails behind the cars and it doesn't look like it (the rain) is going to stop any time soon" ... Still the 1st heat ... JA/JB (junior karts are running now) ... and they are looking for the heat 2 workers so probably better than 1/2 way through the heat ...

Drying tendencies ...  2nd heat, 1st runs on the west course for CS (they are the only class in this heat ... 86 entries with times!) ... I see some people are getting faster ... or so it seems ... getting brighter ...

The west course has more elevation change and dries more quickly than the east course ... can change quickly ... especially the next heat except for a few "streams" ... I think our guys in the 3rd heat will be dealing with drying conditions and it will become a "one run" effort with the last run being the driest ... so better make that one last run count!    :)

Announcement:   "Advance Auto Parts" have a stand/vehicle at the site where you can order parts and they will deliver to the site later in the day .... good idea!

Andy Hollis (Texas ... CS - ND Miata) just changed to his "dry" tires .... probably shaved Bridgestones ...
Times are continuing to drop ...

Actually on the video feed you can see the pavement is looking "darker" ... e.g. standing water is draining off and it is getting drier ...  Times have dropped from 63's to Jason Saini's 61.3 sec. now ... Saini is in the lead ... he won BS some years ago in an S2000 ...

Just noticed Saini is on BFG's ... as opposed to Bridgestones for the herd ... I wonder if the BFG's are better in the wet ... but Saini is also from the east which means more experience in the rain ...

McCelvey in an ND Miata on Bridgestones just beat Saini's time ... so maybe it is the driver more so ...
