One of my co-workers works at Island as a Tech Inspector......
He was there over the weekend and has pictures....
The track has been covered with water a number of times in the last few years....and it's not something I can recall happening going back many years.
This past week the water is pretty much covering the entire facility form the pictures I saw.....
The entry road has areas under as well.....
I was hoping to get a few runs in before the Dutch Classic there but it's doubtfull
I live within a half hours ride of the track.....
This article I read this morning tells it like it is....

The one picture is right across the entry road from the track
Many years ago, the story goes. the Army Corp of Engineers devised a plan to drain the land...they dug ditches to carry the water away.....There is one running parallel to the track and divides the pit area.....I always called it the Moat.....It's usually pretty low......Not right now....!!!.
