They said that we were all pitting outside so that we could "hole up" in our trailers in the event of a nasty storm. Pretty sure that the intent was safety etc. for the 8 hours that the teams were there prior to the advertised start time. After getting soaked a time or two at various venues over the years, coupled with lightening and nowhere to hide in the infield, it was kinda comforting to know that there was indeed a place to take shelter. I always assumed that when nasty weather strikes after the fans are on site, that they seek refuge in their cars. Is that the case?

Sam thanks for the response. I certainly hope that a nasty storm never hits and you guys are "holed up" in your trailers. Fans going to their cars also provides little protection when violent weather hits. If that is USAC's safety plan, God help us all.
