How did the weather and racing turn out on Sunday?

Saturday was pretty breezy but mostly tailwind.

Got up Sunday AM, temp was 47, wind seemed 40+ and a nasty looking front coming up El Cajon so my brother and I packed it in and headed back to Vegas early.

Sunday morning was cold and windy. The wind was blowing down track. My timing slip said the wind was at 24 mph blowing wsw @ 9:50 am.  Later in the morning the winds pickup and were blowing the cones over on the track. I starting packing up about 1:00 pm and the SCTA was reviewing the wind conditions to see if they were going to continue or not. I pulled out and headed back to Vegas at 1:15 and the race was still on hold pending a check of the course and the wind.

We only raced on Sunday. I missed Saturdays free HP sleeping off the flu in my trailer.
Sunday AM was nice, track was a bit loose. Round 5 had us on wind hold for a while, but they eventually let us run when the cross wind died down a bit. It was a 22MPH WSW I think when I ran the second time, strongest at mid course, but the last 1/8 was cake with a nice tail wind.

  Big roots blower on nitro, I heard Davidson saying he just gave it a little throttle.
 I took the videos [ learning how] and my video camera doesn't do justice to the real sound.

I tried several times to get through on the cell phone, must not be getting service in that area. Could be the storms between here and Elmo. Just have to wait awhile.

From a spectator's point of view it looked okay. While I was there one car spun and most of the bikes looked good going the track. It sounded like most of the guys were on full throttle without letting off the pedal throughout the mile, I would I assume it was plenty dry.

I just heard the course was junk and speeds were down for the cars. Bummer.
