they also got a longer lunch and shortened day to work!

We only ran from 9am until 4pm instead of 8am until 5pm and they got almost a full hour instead of half hour for lunch so I think they did alright (the corner workers)

...One of them was a real trouper and helped clean off snow from the track without a shovel! kudos for her efforts!!!

any wrecks?

Nothing's for certain, it could always go wrong.
Come in when it's raining, go on out when it's gone.

ouch, think I saw him in the videos pre-wreck. for some reason, people always seem to have problems on the straight away by the pit when its wet.

There is a HUGE puddle at the apex of the kink, as well as draining across the track from left to right. It pretty much sucks in the rain.

I had a total blast.. Not every day you get to run in snow like that so I had a ton of fun!

.... but I was an instructor so I paid $250 for all 3 days instead of $250 for just Monday like a few others did (I think 5 people paid for ONLY Monday while others paid the 3-day rate either as instructor for $250 or $500 for student)
