Is everybody OK in Southern California?

[Alan Roehrich]

I called Barry Polley, and spoke with his wife. They're way North of the quake, but I'm sure Barry will check on everyone and call me back. Barry's wife had not heard anything about any of the racers having damage or injuries when I talked to her, but it is early yet. Barry will probably know how to reach Clark. I hope everyone is okay.

Our vacation to Huntington Beach, CA starts...tomorrow! Should be just in time for the aftershocks. Geeez, good planing....

[Philip Saran]

Jeff,

Don't worry, the aftershocks are down to 1.0 or less.
You won't even feel anything.

Awe come on, folks. This is California. Us natives will take these minor shakers over a tornado or hurricane anyday. I'm about 10 miles from the epicenter and we had a good roller, 1 pepsi can fell off the shelf and a collector decanter fell, nothing broke. My son was changing tires on the race car when it hit and we just set there and watched the trailer sway back and forth, only lasted a few seconds.

John Force had some damage.

I'll second that...been through several 5. and higher (Sylmar was the worst) Also, been through 3 direct hit hurricanes: Frances, Jeanne, and Wilma. At least with a quake, it sneaks up on you and it's quick. Besides, I'll still trade Flordia over SoCal anytime during a power outage. Ain't nothin' like sleeping in a sauna.

Nonetheless hope all SoCal racers, their families and friends are okay.
