Weather was warm today and tonight. I left track after 11:00 PM, still comfortable in my ever-so-stylin' W2W T-shirt. John (Rude Noise Racing) introduced himself and his HP racer as the Knoxes and I walked the paddock today. Expect to see more W2W's Thursday. Tomorrow the Knoxes, Ceci Smith, and I will go to Cleveland. When I get back I'll pick up the latest data from Scoring.
Tonight Scoring was working very hard. They have two independent clocks and systems, and in at least one group they discovered the two clocks sometimes differed by as much as 25 thousandths of a second. This actually affected the grid order for one group! They worked very late to identify the problem and resolve the time differences. Kudos to Bill Skibbe, Lynda Polk, and Dave Killian in their diligence and dedication, and for taking a little time out to get me their data electronically.
