Looking at the weather forecast for today and tomorrow it looks pretty bad . I have not race there before and was wondering whats the parking like after heavy rain ? does the track have good drainage ? will we have traction problem's ?

I'm also wondering what type of run schedule we will have Saturday id we cant race on Friday .

NHRA Div 1 please chime in with some insight

Stock and Super stock get put out in the back field. Wet and people get stuck every year.

I have raced there only once. It rained hard at noon, and the water was 6" deep in the pits. Don't park your rig in the low area!

ASRA had 2 races stock/ss combo races there last weekend, it rained like crazy friday day and night , I got there fri pm, saturday morning there was some standing water, one racer pulled in a low spot and got stuck, he drove out sunday after it had dryed. You just have to look before you pull in, and it looks like it will start drying out tomorrow.

Your cars certainly test the traction, I can only say that Sunday after a long day of racing and the dew was on the cars, I saw the super elim. final with 2 mid 7 second dragsters go on their dial with no traction problems. There were 66 stockers and super stockers and I saw 2 spin and heard of one other all day. I am sure there were more, but I didn't hear a lot of complaining. I have no idea if the track prep will change for the lodrs.

How many rigs can by parked outside the gate ? I forgot if there is room on the side of the road to park on if the small lot is full . What time is the gate locked tonight.
