Just out of curiosity, to where do they pump the water? It seems to me they are in the middle of a large flat area. Is there a creek or river that runs through it?

no waterways close to the track most of the time they pump it out into the front lot but its under water so I'm not to sure where they plan on pumping the water to
With all the rain that appeared to hit that area, I had a feeling Saturday might be questionable even with some dry time. I didn't so much worry about the track, it's the other stuff around it (and infield).
I still plan to do both days, but if they have to cancel does LPS look good for Sat (Lawrenceburg has said they are a go)? Not sure what kind of rain totals they got. Not trying to hi-jack, just want to get two races in this weekend since that was the plan.
I just drove out by the track and there pumping water out of the infield into the front lot. The water is starting to go down slightly still a lot of work to be done but at least there giving it a great effort. Fingers crossed
