LA in smog mode aka normal
Today racing was postponed by a weird phenomena of smog. About ten minutes before the first race a weird storm looking cloud was on the horizon. Within minutes this cloud surrounded the fleet with everything around disappearing from view. It was one of the weirdest things i have ever [...]
