Weather for today was overcast/partly cloudy with temps in the low to mid 80's and low humidity.
My pics from today are from impound before record runs, after record runs, staging for the long course, rookie course, short course and some from the pits.
As previous days, had a good time seeing old friends and meeting new ones!

Today was my last day here and tomorrow my wife and I are off to Montana.

Here is my Google Photos link:

REALLY GLAD you guys enjoy the pics. As I've posted many times before, I do this and the audio streaming because I know what it's like to sit at home and wonder who is there and what's happening!
There will be more in the future!!!!!  :cheers:

Thanks for taking the time and effort. Wish I was there. You could leave the window open all the time when the cars pass by, sounds great.

Lots more daily pictures I shot with my Brownie on the SCTA website.

Hard to get the bikes 'cause they're always in a van, on a trailer, or someone (or two) standing along side of them.

I made up with Charles after all these years and it seemed like he was done licensing on to the Long Course. 

I don't know what anyone did anywhere as I was all over the place and surely suffering from sun-exposure disease.  I can't (or won't) carry enuf electronics to hear the times and then jot down some notes.

Shooting on the Long Course is a pain -- standing out past the line for an hour gets you about 6 vehicles.  A few hours of that a day is plenty.

Hope you like some of them -- I'm far from professional, but try hard once a year.
