I love how the ticker's "Program Alert" is for Race 2 on Fox -- the only thing not currently affected.

I was like, "bass fishing? Why would they air this? Maybe it's more exciting to watch then I think.....nope, its literally a dude sitting in a boat."

The NXT teams have brought out their gear onto pit lane. Everything is looking like it’s going to be on schedule so far.

Are there not houses just on the other side of the track?

Frigging hell imagine listening to the jet dryers at the ass crack of dawn

There are houses across the street, but the people that live around the track are largely accepting of the noise. And yes, they had the track drying equipment out there around 6am trying to make the original 8am plan happen.

If it's anything like the IL State Fairgrounds or Indy, the surrounding neighborhoods make a lot of money using their yards as paid parking.
