I can't remember the exact year that the top end of the track was under a foot of water. Porta- toilets were floating around like little blue boats. But we were racing the next day. This year the ground is already soaked from rain over the weekend. A couple more inches today and a 60% chance for more rain tomorrow. Doesn't look like they will be parking Sportsman racers early in the moring.

Bruce may be right, they usually wait out the rain and let it dry up a little before they start parking us.

Are we still being staged at the track?
