Re: Arizona Nationals
I live 15 miles east of the track and we got 2" of rain in the last 24 hours. It is still raining at my house. I feel sorry for anyone parked in the bowl, it may fill with rain water.

Re: Arizona Nationals
Friend in Chandler said they got over 1.5" last night, and it was 41 degrees at 7:30 am.

Re: Arizona Nationals
Is it possible for any racer who is there to give an update on what's happening??

Re: Arizona Nationals
I'm not there, but a good friend of mine is a truck driver in the area and former racer. He texted me a photo 30 minutes ago and the windshield wipers were active.

Re: Arizona Nationals
Kind of ironic that the first annual "Magic Dry Nationals" sets a record for rainfall??

Re: Arizona Nationals
Thanks for the updates guys. Kind of a rough start to the season. I say that as I sit here near Tacoma, Wa. and watch snow flurries out my window.
Jeff, hope it was recovered. Too bad stuff like that ever happens. Nice society we live in.

Re: Arizona Nationals
I'm not at the track now but NHRA sent out a text notice that they were drying the track about a half hour ago. I suspect it has rained there since, but I don't have confirmation of that.

Re: Arizona Nationals
They are drying the track. Desert ground doesn't absorb the rain very well. The track might have some seeping water for a while specially with the cold temp. Warm up time if any for race cars will probably be on jacks. Lots of big puddles.
