RACE WEEKEND HUB

Numerous to widespread showers and thunderstorms are expected to develop today, with some storms becoming strong to severe this afternoon. The main threats include damaging wind gusts of 50–60 mph, torrential rainfall, frequent lightning, and localized flooding. We’ll need to monitor conditions closely, as weather could disrupt track activities. Remember, any cloud-to-ground lightning within 8 miles of the track triggers a 30-minute delay, and that clock resets with every additional strike. If you’re camping or have tents, canopies, or other loose items, make sure they’re secured or temporarily taken down before storms arrive, as strong winds can quickly send them airborne. Stay weather aware, and I’ll keep you updated as conditions change.
