Yes, indeed.  I set up the system for the audio stream today and tested it.  I know that much.  My earlier befuddlement about the video and audio from the start line continues unabated.  I didn't see any equipment at the line when I left this evening.  No doubt I'll find out more in the morning.

Tomorrow's events are to start with the drivers meeting at 7.30*.  It will not be at the start line as has been the recent case, but rather across from the main entrance to the pits and hard by the brand new radio trailer.  It's planned to be an hour long, followed at 8.30 by the course drive.  Then we can get racing.

Reminder:  It's a half-hour from Land's End to the pits at 5-10 mph.  Leave plenty of time so you get to the meeting promptly.

I'm here - just had the 5 MPH trip from Land's End.  It's still wet.

Last night it was windy, and the water blew back onto the pits and under our trailer.  There's standing water for the first mile of the revised course (they moved it from the zero to the one yesterday) so they're considering moving it again this morning to at least make a short course.

The drivers meeting has been postponed for at least an hour.  Stay tuned.

I assume some down runs were made Monday afternoon. If anyone should happen to make any good runs we'll hear about it here on the forum? The SCTA page isn't showing much yet.

Have fun out there, my thoughts are with you!

Here's the latest - 8.35 am

The meeting will start about 10AM here by the main pit  entrance and our radio trailer.  We'll have a short course only.  3 miles top run followed by 2 miles of shutdown.  There'll be no 2 1/4 light so no qualifying as a 175 mph vehicle.

Further details as they materialise.

Yea nothing for me here either, 1:43 PM, west coast time. It's a tough gig out there to stream. Not sure what kind of internet connectivity Slim is using this year but coverage out there is rough unless you have a Starlink or similar.

Power outage - the generator quit.  We didn't have comms so we had to wait for someone to notice and fix it for us.  It takes a couple of minutes to get everything going again.

We're back now.

Found a live video feed from the start line as well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ENsbcszHSo

The live feed is a bit choppy but a nice companion to Slim's audio feed...

Ooops - off the air again.  We'll fix it and be right back.

Off the air again.   Video feed also went off the air too.  UFOs causing issues.
