IndyCar and Sonoma Raceway officials have confirmed that today's GoPro Grand Prix of Sonoma will go ahead as scheduled despite the earthquake that hit the area early on Sunday morning. A 6.0 magnitude earthquake with the epicenter about six miles south of Napa woke residents and visitors about 3:20 a.m. local time. The jarring quake lasted about 25 seconds, and multiple aftershocks have been recorded. No damage was reported at the racetrack – which is located about 15 miles from the American Canyon site named as the epicenter of the quake – or its main arteries, California Highways 37 and 121. The 2.385-mile, 12-turn road course and buildings at the facility have been inspected, according to a track spokesman. Emergency responders, including Holmatro Safety Team members, are on-site at the facility. No fans or campers were injured during the quake or its aftershocks.

I didn’t even think about the quake, but glad they are going to be able to race. Go, Ryan Hunter-Reay!

We sit within range of three major faults.. And they are discovering more every year it seems.
Fingers crossed we get out before the ‘big ‘un’.
It is coming.

Thanks for that. I’m in the middle of nowhere and can’t get it to play, but I’m DVRing the race so I guess I’ll see it when I get home.
Cheers,
Jim
