Today was a first: they had to stop the lift in the middle of Group A due to lightning. With the amount of rain that came down, we could have had a kayaking competition down the river on track instead too. MSA is always a lower-attended round, but it seems that this year is sparser than ever, giving the hill an empty feeling and making for a rather lackluster day. Qualifying will prove interesting, as the sporadic rain and ever-changing conditions didn’t provide much information from which to draw conclusions or preliminary guesses. Here are some shots from today, no order, just ones I liked and stuck out:
…and then the rain came.

MSA is still unforgiving, even with the latest wheel tech…

Uh, yeah… never mind.
