All,
Happy 4th of July.
Regarding the weather:
Weather has been very warm here in Western PA this week.
Forecast is for weather to break Thurs/Fri into 10 degree cooler ? the mid 80?s.
My guess is there is possible wet conditions on Thursday Test Day for some
portion and possible Friday morning.
Weekend is expected to be dry in mid 80?s.
I have paid the weather gods as much as I could ? I am very optimistic we will
have good weather.
Regarding Showers:
There are clean showers and bathrooms at PittRace. One set near our Kastner Cup
Tent, one up the hill at the Event Center. Event Center and Driver meeting
Tower building are airconditioned with plenty of room and seating for you to
get out of the heat if you need a break.

I just looked at the forecast for the end of the week for PIR and Pittsburg
area. They are indicating T-Storms mid week through Friday. Looking decent
for the weekend. The Thursday and Friday test and practice days look wet.
What is the outlook for the weekend, given locale knowledge, of the East Coast
weather at the track this coming weekend?
I had a message that Kas was on the road in Colorado. I am flying in on
Thursday. Everyone have a safe drive.
Ken
