Bummer!

We are going to try to do live streaming on SpeedCastTV instead of coming up.

Too many kids things here.

Thanks for the update.

Laguna next year.

I got balked three times on my hot lap. The car will do sub 2:30's on a clear lap. Then rain yesterday washed out Q-2 and today a hideous thunderstorm just hit and is delaying everything. My group is scheduled for 11:10 but if this rain does not move out it could be another day washed out. Runoffs in Wisconsin in September, five years here now and not one decent week of weather yet. Disappointing to say the least.
