I`ve been to Topeka more times other than Bandimere,and I`ve never wished that upon myself. But wow,I`ve never seen the skies look that bad out there!

Tony, If you have facebook, I just posted 28 photos that I took @ the track this afternoon. Everything was fine @ the track, but our motel @ 17th & Topeka Blvd had baseball hail & everyone was escorted into the ballroom as a storm shelter.
Been here all my life, pretty nasty looking storm.

We ate at the Blind Tiger about 7:30pm, and there didn't appear to be any noticable damage. At the Eccono Lodge hotel, there was tennis ball size hail in the parking lot however.

We parked under a bridge and waited things out when it first started. Then, made a move back to the track to avoid the storms.

One touched down around Emporia / Reading KS just a little south of Topeka early this morning.

these races should have been held the first part of June. That would have missed the weather.
