Then the weather was shitty pretty much all day long... cold, windy, and a few sprinkles here and there. But after lunch, that sand storm came in and visibility was literally 10 ft during that green PDX group. We had cars just pulling off track so they wouldn't get rear-ended... it was nuts. They threw the checkers like 10 minutes into the session. All the TT/CT cars started packing up since there was no way you'd go faster in the all the sand and wind than in the earlier session, and finally they just called the event.

Ironically, Friday and Sunday were both super nice days.... I don't know how Saturday ended up being so shitty.
Wow, that sucks, you're right, the weather was perfect on the other days. Wind and blowing sand are no fun out there. Been there, done that...
