Bottom line:

The track layout changed, so all previous lap records are basically dead now. Looks like we're dodging rain, but you never know. 😉 Still, with this new setup, things should be pretty interesting.


Schedule in local time:

Practice 1 FRI 11:00
Practice 2 FRI 15:00

Practice 3 SAT 11:00
Qualifying SAT 14:00

Race SUN 14:00

It’s actually pretty reasonable to expect both Ferraris to land on the podium here.🙏

I’m honestly just bracing myself for something totally wild to happen 🙏

I’m fully expecting you all to show up at my place for a backyard BBQ 🙂

I’m just waiting for the lights to go out... and then I fully expect myself to finally snap out of this trance somewhere around the final five laps. ☕

sorry but I'll probably be splashing around in the ocean then...😁

Any chance we might see some rain? 🙄

Could you not even manage to read two sentences of the intro? Seriously, imagine if I actually tried writing memoirs in English. 🤣

@mistybear87, my bad, but I'm detoxing starting Saturday and need to get myself functional for the race tonight, so I'll just be watching from the comfort of my couch. 😳

I’m looking forward to the race 😁

By the way, what was that barbecue being mentioned earlier? 🙏 🤣

what? BBQ 😳 🙂 🙂 I'm not 100% sure yet, mistybear87, but I'll give it my best shot😁

and the race... man, I'm really hoping for some good old-fashioned drama after the checkered flag drops 🍿

Honestly, I’m just not feeling the race at all today. 🙏

Quote:Who even cares...

Morgan Murphy7 says: I couldn't give a damn about the race 🙏

What kind of beer are we pairing with this grill, and when exactly 😁

Hey, does anyone know if this is going to be televised? I have a feeling the Davis Cup might be playing at the exact same time 🤷.

stormybadger8 said:What kind of beer goes best with a backyard BBQ, and what should I 😁

which one should I grab? 😉

EDIT: if anyone is planning on staying tuned in to watch the football game, I'll just pick up an extra case 😬

honestly, this whole weekend feels like some massive three-day Southern wedding bash.😁

Saturday is prep and qualifying, Sunday is race day, then football in the evening, followed by drinks to celebrate the US winning the title 😬 and we'll be partying until dawn. Then Monday morning comes around, everyone chugs some bitter coffee and drags themselves back to work. 🤣
