Iowa = Corn

If you're surrounded by corn, you're probably in Iowa. Either that or Darrell Peterson is in the vicinity.

Driving lights have been mounted on the hood, dash lights are supposed to be working (hard to tell in the light of day), the car is about as ready as it will get.

In addition to Darrell, John Hogdal, Tim Winker and Greg Wold, there are a couple more drivers this weekend. Darrell's son, Mitch, who has extensive kart racing experience and a championship or two to back it up, will get some seat time. Also invited to drive is our crew guy, Jesse Lang, who has done a lot of work on the car. That means about four hours driving time per driver; about eight SCCA Regional races apiece!

There were some nasty thunderstorms early this morning, but skies have cleared and temps are moderate. Unfortunately the weather forecasters predict "near record high temperatures" for this afternoon. The Heat Index is supposed to get to 110F. Thunderstorms are expected to return overnight.
