Raj came over to talk to us. We also had the Good Fortune of sitting next to Rob Kaufman who owns the original 1966 # 2 car

GRID WALK

For those that got close to the cars during the grid walk, did you notice any significant changes to the FGT's vs. last year's racers?

Great race! A race of many challenges and skill of the drivers and teams. Too exciting to watch anything else.

Brutal weather. Balls of steel to race in this.

Looks miserable on TV may improve somewhat over the next few hours. Anything is possible in these condition but still looking strong. Hope everyone is warm and dry

Unfortunately this is our view this year (75" and lap top for T&S / in car stream) At least it's dry.

Went to sleep with all cars in the lead and woke up back in the pack. What happened?

Briscoe backed it in coming out of the bus stop. That's why 28 laps down.

66 just pitted. Regular stop. On slicks now? Getting on slicks at the right time means an advantage.

Stuck with Comcast / Fox, they are obsessed with the caddy, and the NSX
