Nice! Hopefully we'll see you out there soon.

Let's get something in order for Wednesday!

Just booked Road America... but I can shift to Watkins if there is a strong preference.

Totally fine with that. Ran indycar there last night so it's fresh.

Ok. You may have to "bend" a little.

I am fully planning on being there tonight.

Reminder: probably won't sign on until 8:00 central.

Caveat: we've had storms all day, and my 13 y/o has continued to blow up my phone complaining about the internet being down at home (no XBOX Live = ZOMG HOW DO I HANG OUT WITH MY FRIENDS!!!....) *so* there is a chance I might be hosed tonight. I'll reboot/reset the router when I get home to see if that kicks it.

Stupid work calls. Sorry I left in the middle of the race, but I wasn't the only one. See y'all next week.

Hope it was a quick item for work.

No worries. We had the most join the session in awhile at 5.

Jim it looked like you were just on the edge of the storms. You were in front of me in turn 5 and the poof.

Yeah... sorry about that guys. Power flickered, then went out. Came back 30 seconds later... but by that point, my machine had shut down. That's when I noticed there were a ton of weather alerts popping up on my phone, including a tornado warning for the county west of me (about 20 miles) and radar-indicated rotation just south of Marengo (which is 15 miles or so due west of me).

Sitting in a basement in a VR world with headphones on probably not wise since I was the only one home. As it was, the power flickered a few times over the next few hours so I likely would've been dropped mid-race anyways.

Ahhhh summer in the Midwest. Forecasts are predicting severe storms for my area later today again.

I'm the blue dot. The dark read trapezoid to the left of the blue dot is a tornado warning (warning = funnel cloud spotted at a min)


News was wigging out...

Interesting with the news wigging out. I live where they say the storm was going to be at 9:18, but we didn't get anything severe.

It hit us hard, and learned there were 2 confirmed tornadoes (EF-1's) in Rockford. But it weakened as it moved east.
