I asked Robby about the A/C cooling unit issue at Charlotte, and he said the problem was it kept tripping the internal breaker. They have made a modification so that a breaker will be mounted on the dash and easy to reset.

Whats the weather look like for this weekend? I know its pocono, and those rain clouds will form at a moments notice.

Friday is looking better and better weatherwise, so they WILL have qualifying. Satuday is not as promising which could hurt practice time.

But...Friday will be fine.....Saturday looks iffy with the threat of T Storms.....Sunday looks a little better...but the big thing if they race will be the 15 degree or so difference in temperature between Friday and Sunday (mid 80s down to upper 60s.....especially if Saturdays practices get rained out...will play havoc with the setups...)

Slider, more than once,I've driven down to Sears (80's) for a AFM race only to turn around and drive home becouse of rain/mist. AFM didn't race in the rain!

would be really unusual to get rain/mist in late June, but even if it does, I will be back on Monday with a drink in my hand and headset at the ready with GN's constant reminders to "save me some gas..."
