If you're not listening you've missed the latest bit. A car of unknown origin sped down the road between the track and the mountain, heading towards Floating Island. He was going at major boogie speed and showed no signs of slowing as he passed the spectator viewing area. About the seven he passed by the course worked that had rolled out to intercept him - and he kept going. The FM radio was full of chatter about the car - and finally the course worker was advised to let the guy keep going. If the worker got to the 8 1/2 he was to stop - and the unknown would stop whether he wanted to or not soon after that - when he got into the mud.
That was a few minutes ago and there's no sign of him at this time. The Studebaker is waiting to run - but can't 'til he's given a "clear course".
The Stude is running and about to move out, and the tower has cleared him to run even though we don't know where the interloper is. All we know if where he isn't - that's on the track or anywhere the jerk could be a problem for the race car. It's going to be limited to something around 150 or so.
The tower reports the other car is so far down that he couldn't get back in time to be a problem. Butthead. . .
Oh, yeah -- what time will we start tomorrow? Well, I haven't heard anything form Cook but I assume it'll be the usual 8AM racer time start. I'll find out and let you know later after I talk to Mike. Here comes the Stude.
