Beech Bend Flooding

I'll be your Huckleberry :biggrin:
Considering that a bathroom and the pit side concession stand has floated away (surely a major source of revenue), Shirley that track is not going to be ready in a week. Even if they are up and running, I'd be willing to place a wager on the scales not being activated. :frown:

These guys know where their bread and butter is, they will make it happen. The owner said in a news story it might take 20-25 guys to clean up the place. I'm sure there won't be trouble finding workers in todays economy. Like many have said, not the first time they've seen rain down there, might have to be an all or nothing shoot out on the 15th !

"and will water be coming up through the track all week???"
Can't you see an 8 sec pass on crap like that??
If the water was out today, one would be insane to try to park on any of the grass areas,,,,

So what does that make it 2011 triple payout for the classes if its rained out?

They get water there but not like that! There is no where for it to go for days! I can't even imagine the piles of mud on the track and everything else when that goes down! I just canceled all my reservations all around. The hotel desk clerk asked me what was going on they were getting cancellations all day for next week. Not worth the long ride to deal with that mess! Even if they do get it open there is no way it's going to be right! 10 day says rain next Monday thru Wed already! Oh well see you boys in Ohio!
Oh well see you boys in Ohio!As per the GSCA site, Ron spoke with Dallas and the water has gone down.
Will there be a 2010 GS Nationals? - GS Nationals - GS Nationals - Buick GS Club of America/GS Nationals - Message Board Yuku
The GSCA has to make a decision soon. Maybe Jim C. can chime in here and keep us updated.

The last time I was there, the top end of the track was not in good shape. With it being under water for a week or so there is no telling if it will be able to handle and cars without some major repairs?
At the starting line/burnout area there is a natural drain that is always hard to dry after any rain, so how it will handle this flood will be interesting?
There can be water draining through that area for days after it recedes.
Beech Bend updated their site. It says they hope to be up and running by the 14th. That puts the Nats starting on Thursday. Like Philly said, I'm sure they'll be more people canceling. If the event does happen, I don't think it'll be a very good turnout. I'm not cancelling my plans yet.
I'm with JD, time is of the essence. Book Silver Dollar and lets have it there. Of course I don't expect the GSCA to do that, they already have money from the people that pre-registered.
