The Corner 12 Crew Honda was entered as car #27, but has #20 on the doors. It will be shown in results as #20.

We do not have the fancy-schmancy instant live laps update capability this weekend, but will instead be getting hourly updates via fax machine (how 1990's!). Look for the first update soon.

The weather isn't very nice.

It's above freezing this morning... barely. But it's supposed to warm up into the 40s. Cloudy and there was a bit of rain earlier.

Cars are rolling out onto the 4+ mile Road America race course, one of the premiere race tracks in the U.S. and the world! And before I could get this posted, the green flag is out at 9:13.

We have about 30 cars ready to start. Some scratches, some additions from the earlier list. Here is what I was given, but I think there are a couple more changes. Cathy left early this A.M. for Martinsville to hang out with NASCAR guys.

Test & Tune Day at Road America

Crap cans are on the track for test & tune day. Still a little snow on the inside of some corners (easily avoided), and lots of snow in shaded areas where the corner crews are located. One corner guy got his 4WD truck stuck on the way to his station!

Weather is mild ... for Wisconsin ... in early April ... with some sunshine and temps in the 40s. Looks like rain to the west, however.

The course we are using includes "The Bend" after the Carousel and before the Kink to slow cars down. Still plenty of room to go fast before Canada Corner.

Friday photos are posted on the ChumpCar Facebook page.

A Chilly Weekend Predicted for Road America

The Elkhart Lake forecast says Partly Cloudy with highs in the upper 20s and lows dipping into the teens. Consequently our Fearless Leader has issued the following proclamation:

Attn: All Road America Teams!

Due to low overnight temps this weekend, ChumpCar is allowing all cars to use anti-freeze/coolant/glycol in your engine and cooling system. This is for ONE race only and must be drained before the next event.

Team Drivers may also use an anti-freeze, provided it's AFTER 4:00pm on Saturday or Sunday.
