A report for the Washington Post just posted a pic on twitter for ALMS on track.

ALMS finally got on track at 2:20. They lost an entire practice session from the morning, though.

I watched some of the live timing. FYI, here's the ALMS schedule version 6 (no, I'm not kidding) for the rest of the day:

6:05-6:20 Practice for all cars
6:25-6:40 Qualifying for all GT cars
6:45-7:00 Qualifying for all Prototype cars

ENOUGH WITH THE ****ING STREET CIRCUITS ALREADY!

Unfortunately this isn't limited to temp street courses. Some of the MAJOR tracks around North America have their problems too. When I worked for ALMS 10 years ago, I can remember postponing sessions for track related things at places like Mosport, Infineon, etc. too. Sometimes last minute things creap up and have to be dealt with.

BUT, you'd think people would learn that RR tracks and race tracks don't mix.
