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.

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

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

A Super Comp Dragster was stolen from Casino lot across the street.I read that it was recovered but not confirmed. Watch you stuff. Raining at 9AM and I'm 5 miles from track

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.

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

Carguy49 · 02-22-2019, 12:42 PM

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.

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.

Latest report I was told that some of the pit area is a foot under water

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.
