It looks like rain is in the area. The sky looks darker but, night is also approaching quickly. I really hope they get the race in.

So, what's the over/under on laps before it breaks up again, after the restart (if they restart)?

I say 10.

there are isolated cells around the track. I'm pretty sure it won't affect the race but you never know.

On that panoramic shot, the rain is clearly seen over the city.

Who was the Race director for that 1953 race? Brian Barnhart (Or his Grandfather)

Never knew Detroit was right on the Canadian border. Learn something new every day.

If they manage to dry that cement quickly, I don't see why not keep racing, only 50 laps to go, c'mon. Looks like they'll comeback just for a yellow flag lap and then finish the race.

Some of the first motorcycle races were performed on ovals made of wooden planks. Eventually some would fly off the track and riders had to duck/swerve to avoid them.

Real racin

Quick drying of cement will only end up with this cement quickly breaking up. Cement needs time dry.

So I'm guessing ABC is gonna drop the race on to ESPN or ESPN2 when they hit 6pm Eastern, right?
