Same here. You can always put clothes on, but you eventually run out of things you can take off...
I'm glad it is earlier in the series this year, considering it was my favorite outdoor track aside from the heat. Definitely looks awesome again this year. Only a day left before racing! 
Should be really nice weather and track looks awesome. Should make for some great racing!

Another amazing event. 350+ for round two on easter weekend! What an awesome event!
Palm Desert track crew did an amazing job with watering and track maintenance. Layout was challenging and fun with lots going on to test you in many different area's. Everyone seemed to be having fun going outdoors on a big track. There was some great racing! Congrats to all the winners and results will be posted soon.
Thanks to TLR for there support of the series and thanks to the entire JBRL crew for putting on another amazing event.
Hope everyone made it home safe and we are off to Bakersfield in about a month. Hope to see everyone there!

Jimmy, JBRL crew and the entire track crew at Palm Desert...thank you.
Thank you for letting us come play in your back yard
Track was awesome, program was awesome. Looking forward to attending more races there in the future.
Wish we could have stayed for the mains, but the boy and I were both feeling really cruddy. Made for a very long day, but we held out as long as we could.

Outdoor Races and Smoking
I would like to make a suggestion and I am sure some will get upset at me or flame me for this...but thats ok with me.
I am not a smoker. I have nothing against those that choose to smoke. I just dont enjoy inhaling the 2nd hand smoke, all day. People smoking below the drivers stand, and waiting in line for the racing is by far the worst part of it. As they get their fix, my eyes burn and water and my throat gets scratchy.
Can we maybe designate a smoking area or maybe just 25 or 50 feet from the gates/doors of the facility??? If anyone has better ideas, I am down for it. I just know that many share the same sentiment. I know even nitro racing has stricter rules here.
As an aside, there was no excuse for smelling weed most of the time both days either in my opinion.

+1 Ryan!
This for me and my son is the only downside to this hobby. I really can't understand why people think it is okay to blow smoke everywhere when not everyone is a smoker....

In this day and age I don't think it is too much to ask for a designated smoking area away from the track/pits. With sporting arena's and other large sporting events going smoke free and even entire college campus' I think this is not unreasonable or something smokers are not used to already. Not trying to take away anyones right to smoke just trying to protect my right NOT to smoke!

Great racing weekend for sure with good weather (not scorching hot) but maybe the track would have been more consintant dry? Or would it have broken up too much?
Great pictures, even had a few of our race cars in them.

From my perspective: I'm just thankful that I haven't yet developed allergies to the pollen from Colorado Desert flora, otherwise all the smoking would have resulted in an asthma attack. If this race had happened in the Mojave (ex: Palmdale), I wouldn't have been able to race at all.

This sounds great to me. Official rules of some kind would really help...A big "Thank You!" to the drivers that I noticed leaving the track/pit areas before they smoked. Super considerate.
