DC's just coming for the ferris wheel...

I'm heading out there in a few minutes to watch practice. Nice to live 5 minutes from the track...

EKN Trackside: Saturday Practice Update

A clear day here in New Castle for practice and qualifying for the RoboPong 200. Teams are busy preparing for the qualifying later today while keeping in mind race setup for tomorrow. Things can change however as weather could be the biggest factor. As of right now, its 60% chance of rain with scattered thunderstorms. If it does bring precip, it will be the first time in event history. We'll have pictures later with views from around the paddock on our Facebook page.

Hey folks,

Tuning in from South Garda, Italy right now. Rok Cup International Final is done. Looking forward to seeing who's quick. I'm on the RFR video and living timing, but are we going to get play-by-play? I forgot to ask Cole before he headed back outside.
