The racers arrived at the Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway when the gates opened at 8 am Saturday morning. It was windy, but sunny. While racers were greeting friends they hadn't seen in a while, the track announced a delay in the opening of the track for runs. The winds were steady 15 to 20 mph with gusts to 28 mph. The flags were standing straight out. We were all worried that the Event would have to be cancelled...BUT IT WASN'T!
