Default Re: Live from IHRA Northern Nitro Jam Martin MI Anyone?

It's raining again and looking very very nasty to the west.

IHRA has been working to dry the track from this morning's round of storms and was just finishing up. So hurdle number 1 complete.

Hurdle #2, the tower was hit mutiple times by lightening during this mornings nasty weather. The timing systems number one and two were both taken out by the lightening, they were setting up the third system but it was the track's system and so there was zero data in it. Even though the track was now dry, it would be at least another hour before the timing system would be ready.

So, we are just being told that sportsman will run tomorrow. 9 am time run only so we can all get a hit on the new timing system, then eliminations and we will run to completion tomorrow. They are still going to try and get the pro show in tonight if possible, but if not they will also run tomorrow since this is the last event and "championships are on the line" whatever that means.

We are done for the night.
