It's 12:31 a.m. here in Canada and I am watching last year's race from Japan. I hope they either keep the "window" open or cancel this race before they run out of time to broadcast it. I don't want to see half a race.
Meanwhile I will hang around here I guess. We have had a 5 hour thunderstorm here but I guess it is over now. UPDATE: NO racing for Canada. They are off the air and the rain is still raining in Motegi. I guess I will find out tomorrow if anything happened. Ratz. [This message has been edited by Liz (edited 13 May 2000).] |

Its 2:00 a.m. here. They said it might go off if they got it under way by 3:00 p.m. their time which is about an hour from now. I don't think I can stay awake that long.
UPDATE: Don't have to. They put it off until 10:30 Sunday night our time. So I get to go to work zombified. Not that I care as I'm starting a new job the following week! Ratz double triple quadruple ratz though. [This message has been edited by Liz (edited 13 May 2000).] |

Here's a thought- what if it is raining tomorrow? They pack their bags and go home without a race?

They're broadcasting the restart (if there is one) following a lame boxing match - pray for a first round knockout! - at 10:30 tonight. I will watch the Omega Timing board until the race comes on TV. Bella, I went to bed after I posted that and slept unitl 10:00 but I'm not going out today except to pick up the laundry - it still looks like rain which is a good enough excuse.
I hope everyone at CART is well rested by now. Norberto is out of the hospital but still can't drive. |

Is the race on? Is it raining in Japan? No action on the timing board and the boxing is still going on TV.
