Well, I woulda been back sooner - trying to give you the best information I can about the weather and the salt.
I talked with Jim Dunn -- he's pitting next to us and is dragging the course with the polisher drag. He says the alt is just about good enough to race today, so by tomorrow, barring any rain, oughta be fine. And if worse comes to worst, the courses were set up with moving 'em one mile towards Floating Island -- and the salt is better that way, too, so they can do that without much big hu-huu.
