Water restrictions to change Atlanta sched? No The historic Georgia drought may force changes in NASCAR's race plans next weekend at Atlanta. Teams have been told not to wash their big rigs and motor coaches. There has been speculation that NASCAR may change the weekend's format to make the 500 an “impound” race, with no practice after qualifying. Monday's car-of-tomorrow test is also in question, although NASCAR officials yesterday offered no indications it could be canceled. Teams use copious amounts of water to cool their engines during practice runs for qualifying; not a significant amount in the grand scheme of things, but enough perhaps to make for poor PR when the governor has called a state of emergency. All outdoor watering has been banned, because Atlanta has received only two inches of rain over the past two months.(Winston Salem Journal)(10-22-2007) UPDATE: Water restrictions forced upon metro Atlanta by an extreme drought shouldn't have any impact on the upcoming race weekend at Atlanta Motor Speedway, track president Ed Clark said Tuesday. "We've asked the teams to not wash their rigs and their haulers when they arrive here like they usually do," Clark said. "That's the only change."(NASCAR.com)(10-24-2007)

Too bad I couldn't send you the rain we got here last week Austin. As bad as we need it, you guys need it worse than we do.
