I figured it was worth a try. Maybe we'll see a new face or two on Thursday. The video picked up about 100 hits since I posted it.

There's a breaker in the box that we marked... it's on the left side like 3 down from the top. Also, above the breaker box there's a panel with a single black button. Press that once and you should hear a relay "thunk." Follow the same process to shut things down for the day.

Even with half the lights it's still brighter than most tracks in the world, including big races. We're extremely spoiled with the lighting.

I hope both of you have taken your Don't Hit Shit pill or Adam will win again. He's been driving that Rebel flawlessly unlike the rest of us.

Don't count Jim out he can be a spoiler, gooooo JIIIIIIM.
