For those coming for when gates open at 8am for 8:30-9:30 practice here at Indy, there is potential for a heavy storm in 45-90 minutes. Would likely need all rain out by 2ish to have enough time to dry track and get all 33 cars qualified. Wouldn’t start if can’t do all cars.
The difficulty was Toyota GR Cup race was scheduled for 8am. Sunrise is 7:40am. And need time to swap out pit lane equipment between the morning warmup and the Indy NXT race and INDYCAR race. And wanted to get stuff done before winds mid/late afternoon. So no good options.
