After Pocono, they won't risk it at US tracks.

Though, I'm not sure if the 30 min thing is FL law, NASCAR law, or some contrived thing they made up to appease the insurance underwriters.
I believe it's a general consideration taken across the board in American sports, for liability reasons. Pretty sure I've seen a football game delayed the same way before.

They'd have red-flagged the end any way

That is wet

I fucking hate this era of any approaching rain=red flag

Another instance where the American Lawyer system has contrived to ruin people of any kind of fun and enjoyment becuase of the 1 out of a million chance something bad might happen

The final hour would've been an amazing wet finish if it had been allowed to continue, but it seems across all motorsport these days, rain is terrible for racing and we're just old fashioned now for hoping for a dry/wet race.

That's a good point. I remember a NFL game being delayed quite awhile due to lightning.

It's not so much the rain that's a problem, it's the lightning/hail/tornado/locusts/plague...

Exactly, you hit the nail on the head with your second point. There are two different issues. Lightening delays are completely justified, even if not followed everywhere else.
The recent aversion to rain occuring in motorsports is something else altogether and a major step in the wrong direction. I think we know where it came from in F1, and it was a tragic freak accident, and it could have been prevented, but not every wet race would lead to a tragedy. It just seems like drivers are being deconditioned from wet driving and the issue will only get worse.
I don't want to see a single driver hurt or killed, but I also don't want to see drivers who can only compete in perfect conditions.

The astro-turf & tarmac craze killed off the wet weather racing. Jules Bianchi's death is directly linked to the lack of gravel traps IMO. Just look what happened in the 2001 Malaysian GP, how many cars went off into the gravel and what happened to them.

Things will probably gets worse even though there is some sentiment in bringing gravel back to F1. The video game kids driving F1 cars think they have 9 lives in each race but I suspect one of these days this will come to an end.

This was about lightning rather than wet weather
