And done! We're back on the road. Next stop Topeka, Kansas!

If anyone is interested in some background on the Tesla Model S Plaid Speed Academy did a couple of videos with Mountain Pass Performance (Sasha Anis who has done some really cool projects) who set the car up.
Spoiler Alert, they had some interesting brake issues when they started disabling things that Tesla was using to prevent people from killing themselves!
In reply to Tom Suddard :
Is there an advantage / disadvantage to when you ran today based on weather? Did your run end up wet / dry and it is going to get better or worse for others?
In reply to NY Nick :
Yeah, we got sort of screwed. Wettest session in the morning, then again in the afternoon. Oh well.
We're currently 10th in the afternoon session, and will likely drop more as the track continues to dry.
Hey look, a long straight empty road. Welcome to Oklahoma!
In reply to Tom Suddard :
That stinks, hopefully all your closest competitors were equally hosed so it all works out.
Darn. All the way down in 29th after the track continued drying.
And this is one more reason A052s are a gamble: Transits. This drive is hard enough on Michelins. It would be pretty miserable on the Yokohamas.
We're planning a sit down dinner tonight. Need to see if the weather cooperates, but it's the first time we've dared to plan for that.
Yeah, it's been a brutal drive so far. 50-55 mph the whole way.
What happens to the teams that DNS/DNF a session. How is that scored? Do they end up behind every team that completes all the sessions in the final standings?
Really enjoying following along by the way.
Our clearly superior Sundae Cup train is rolling comfortably at 73. Skinny tires for the win!

We swapped drivers and I finished the transit. Checked in and waiting for our second sit-down dinner of the trip!
I'll post a separate thread tomorrow after I sort through my hundreds of 'spectator at Hallett' pics. Here's a few.
How's it going Sundae Cup? We've got steak!

We had awesome burgers and beer.
All I see is a lot of red meat and beer being consumed by a bunch of people that are going to be floating some mad air biscuits all the way to Topeka. Y'all better crack a window.
Its another rainy morning on the One Lap of America! Next stop is Heartland Park.
Hope things dry up for you guys today.
Andy has again rented a garage in advance, so we'll be warm and dry all day.
The weather forecast is... not great.
Sundae Cup is here in force. We're still earlier than most of the other competitors, though.
I love this event.
