After morning practice finished at VIR, a steady rain began falling.

Yesterday’s on-track activities were followed by a fierce thunderstorm that shredded canopies and flooded the paddock.

This just in:

AMA Pro Racing just announced that the Supersport field will be sent out for a 10-minute wet practice session at 12:15 p.m. local time, followed by two warm-up laps, then the race start.

The event has been declared a “wet” race.

The Supersport race was originally scheduled to start at 12:00 p.m.

At 12:12 p.m. local time, it stopped raining.
