Good morning from a dark IMS. The track s already buzzing as everything is getting in place for the gates to open in 15 minutes.

Traffic was as heavy as I have ever seen it on 16th St an hour ago.

Here is the starting lineup:

Still waiting for word on what the weather will hold for us today. I hope we get the full race in without interruption. it is going to be one of the most compelling races in a while. Colton Herta is n ow my pick to win.

I will up date the weather during the morning hours on @tutorindie on Xwitter, and The Pit Window on Facebook.
