"Live" from D3 Columbus LODRS

Mike Delahanty · 05-03-2018, 05:32 AM

The 2018 D3 season opener is finally here. I know lots of us D3, D5 and D1 racers feel something's out of wack by not heading to Indy this weekend, but I'm looking forward to starting things off at National Trail Raceway. The weather looks like it will be just fine this weekend - the only significant forecast for rain is today that may interrupt the Test and Tune. I'll be back with a report from the track in the early afternoon.

We have been pretty lucky so far with the test and tune session and made it to 130 before and very light rain hits the track. It’s really windy with the wind coming out of the south west between 10 and 15 miles an hour. It looks like the rain may be moving around us and I would think that we would get back to testing tune shortly. Tech has started. The pits are filling up pretty good.

Thanks Mike !

We finished the Test and Tune with no more interruptions. Track conditions were good. I was easily able to get 6 runs in. Tech is open till 6:00.

Good morning. Let’s start first with a weather report there is a full cloud cover .....but it’s a high cloud cover. As I rolled in the track this morning about 8 o’clock there was a very brief rainshower sit at everyone scrambling to get their cars back in the trailers. And no sooner then all the trailers we’re back inside the rain showers stopped.

Here’s the forecast for the day and it shows a risk of showers later in the day .....we should be on track for a 9 AM start and I’ll be back during the day with updates.
