    I just saw on the news the NHIS is flooded up to the tops of the garages!



    Anybody near by see anything more than News 5 is reporting?

    Don't tell me that the Honda tried to drive thru that lake...reminds me of Moroso in 99/00 when I was driving in water up to my running boards (F350 4x4) and was hit by the bow wake from a Z28.

    I guess they don't call those Nastycar tracks "bowls" for nothing, eh?

    close. I forget where I read this.

    >>Track officials said a small dam burst nearby, flooding the racetrack,
    >>garage, pits and parking lots.

    Safe to say the Richard Petty Driving Experience didn't run. I guess this would have been a reasonable excuse for a NASCAR club to not run in the rain.

    Dries! of course. The turns looked OK. Only standing water on the straights. Any tire would make it through that.

    Right?

    Anyone?
