Here's the latest:
The new Mariani streamliner is going to make a very short shakedown run. The car is being wheeled out of the pits and will start from right there -- won't bother to move up to the start line. The crew says the car will be under power for about two miles and then click it -- so I doubt he'll get to the timing lights, much less go through them. Safety and course workers are moving into place - safety at about the 2 1/2, workers on their assigned locations every mile or so.
I'll let you know when there's something else to let you know. Got that?
PS Randy: So how do I pronounce your last name?
I'll give you some on-air credit for all the help you've given me today.
