I just assumed they'd start the race in the evening but then I checked and...1:30 PM local time? Who the HELL thought that was a good :idea:?

Well, it should be interesting at least I guess. I just feel bad for all participants, the teams, and the fans. At least the forecast high is only 94F/34C...

I wonder how far apart they will get.

I wonder how badly the heat is gonna effect the tires and the engines. Gonna be absolutely burning hot, and the race is at the worst part of the day for heat.

Can't imagine this'll do much good for the attendance either.

Can confirm. Fontana is basically hell in the summer.

Man, I'm really looking forward to this now, not for the racing itself, but it will be an unique and big challenge. And maybe the racing will be good, who knows....

if they raced in the evening we could get a broadcast on open tv

the Hondas will kaboom with the heat

Sorry, Fabs.

The Autosport article on the opening session (lead by Briscoe!) said the high temps are really exacerbating the tire wear. Huge dropoff in laptimes early in the run.

Doubt they're looking at the pictures we are, rather looking out the window or at each other more.

Or judging by the hopes of one of them, old footage of pack racing.
