American 700 set to be run in the hottest temperatures in ARCSOA Elite Series history

The weather reports for Saturday's Independence day showdown are set to be well into the triple digits. National weather service meteorologist Mark Kindley told us, "High temps during the day are expected to peak around 114-116 degrees. However by 7PM, the temps are expected to drop to 107 degrees. By the end of the race, expect temps to hover around 95 degrees." ARCSOA historians noted that the previous hottest race on record was the inaugural American 700 right here at Fontana in Season 12, in which temperatures reached 102 degrees as a daytime high. However when the race started they were around 96 degrees. Driver Kenny Myatt stated, "The high temps are going to make this already tiring race, even more difficult." OLINA Sports network's coverage of the race is set to begin 4PM Saturday afternoon with the pre-race show and concerts. Musical talents include, Weird Al Yankovic, Billy Ray Cyrus, Ariana Grande, and keynote Singer Katy Perry.

Kenny: 107 degrees? HOLY CRAP! That is insane, looks like I will have 3 water bottles in my car on Saturday, if I make the race of course!

well if thats the case 107 degrees will not stop me i'll have Coolant Fluids installed in the carr

Pericles:" This should heavily Affect the Tire wear!"

James: Welp it's time to shine. I'm ready to win this thing

Finguy: "JESUS! The temps at Sanoma are ALMOST that! And that's just testing with the Velocity!"
Psytomi: "Yeah... Expect high speeds, and durability, but it's still not clicking."

William: Dammit, my car's probably gonna blow up.
Matt: 107 degrees is way hotter than back home in Arkansas. X_X
Nathan: Putting some extra coolant in the car. This is gonna be a long day...
Kazuki: *sweating* Dang, remind me not to live in California!
Foxy: I be glad that I'm not racing today. *twitches*

Jordan:Grew up at the Beach so this is like home compared to all those northern tracks.
Tedford:I had more things to worry about than heat in Australia, really the only problem is the drought going on. We're having to import water for these Turbines so they don't blow up on us.

Collins: "Ariana Grande.... My favourite female singer will be there. I wonder if Olly Murs will come next season"

James: "Probably not collins."

Collins: "Probably not... We'll never know. We should hold a ARCSOA 18 seasons party. Invite all ARCSOA drivers, get some people to record the thing a post it on TV. Include some exclusive driver interviews. Some celebrity performances. It would be fun, anybody agree?"

Silverfox: "Ready to crash."

Kenny: Rumor has it that the Vice President is giving the command to fire engines! The celebrity list is HUGE! #American700

Gideon Oldfield (Auricom Team Owner): Alright then, time to install those in-helmet air conditioners.

Colins: "This is gonna be amazing! They should've tried to get AC/DC here, next season I'm gonna ask Kenny if I can perform... I was one of the best singers in my school a couple years back"

Ike Durbin fastest in Practice which was marred by several incidents... favorite to win American 700 pole

Ike Durbin scored the fastest lap early in the American 700 pre-qualifying session. The session was marred by several incidents that were minor for the most part. One of which involved Nathan McKane and Jordan Davis making contact and sending Davis head first toward the inside wall, before Davis wrestled the 86 away from it with a massively impressive showing of car control. Both drivers blamed each other for the crash. Another incident involved Sean Perkins, who was 2nd in practice shoving Zsolt Dormitory all the way into the backstretch grass forcing Dormitory to slide up the track in front of Perkins and pancaked the right side of his car with the outside wall. Dormitory would need to go to a backup car. Noah Hart also tangled with Nick Perclies later on in the session, which resulted in Perclies barrel rolling 3 times down the front stretch. Perclies' teammate Matt Duncan did a fantastic job avoiding the 17 car.

3. Myatt

Kenny: Oh man, why does the 9 team have to go and fight the 86 team?

Jordan: Neither of the cars were destroy, so I don't see a point of you and your team running over here. Just get the fuck away before you do something you regret.

Man we need to get in the top 30. That is our best chane. If we don't, my luck will have to determine our faith.

James: Sigh, we have to race our way in dont we ;____;

Pericles:" I don't blame Hart for the wreck, I will say that my neck hurts though. *Rubs Neck* "

Cooper Syron shocks the world with the American 700 Pole, Shelton, Sarrinen, and Schallrotte only full time drivers to lock themselves in.

In a shocking pole qualifying session that came down to the final 2 minutes of the 90 minute session. Cooper Syron jumped from 3rd on the board to grasp the American 700 pole. The Australian ARCSOA Lights driver has never started an ARCSOA Elite Series race, and yet grabs the pole for the biggest. Syron will start alongside Louisiana native, Kyle Nova. Both of which bumped the two full time Durbinsport cars in the final 2 minutes. The only issues seen in qualifying was the 45 Mentervini of Jason Tyson blowing up, and a turbocharger problem for the 545, Blue Spear car of Connor Atwood.

Binky: I'm going to make the 700! YYYYEEEEEEEAAAAHHHHHH

Syron: I couldn't take the position without thanking everyone that has helped me get to where I am. I wasn't expecting to make it into the American 700, but I still kept thinking to myself, "I can do this". Throughout the qualifying, I didn't know how I was going, so this was a surprise to me! My car was great, the team did a very good job, and I'm very excited to show what I'm capable of!
