With the amount of money at stake, I can guarantee you that SOME kind of event will take place just so refunds dont have to be issued.

I just talked to someone at the GSCA and he the event is still on if the track is ready. They'll have a definate answer by Thursday.

This is really sad ---

 

[VETKILR]

Pretty sad, especially since I was going to drive the Limited down 500 miles from Ohio with the old man, but what can you do I guess? Area doesnt look like water will be able to recede in time and i dont want my Limited looking like it went through a muddy motocross track. As ridiculous as it sounds, I really want them to put the show on since its the 30th and all, but selfishness aside, i feel it just wont be feasible especially with mud and water everywhere plus I dont want to see cars skating down the track b/c there is water seeping through the surface. Highly disappointing for someone who hasnt been in 10 years but what can you do I guess?

Directly from the Race Director, Jim Carswell:

2010 GS Nationals

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ok, my phone has been blowing up non stop. Please remember I am on Central Standard time and call accordingly (The guys from Europe may call anytime.). Here is the deal, NOTHING has been changed as of yet. I can't tell you that it will or won't be ready absolutely. I am sure we will know much more by Thurs. As of right now Dallas is hoping the waters will continue to receed so that they may get everything back to normal as quickly as possible. As for all the operators at Rumor Control Central, unless you hear it from Ron or myself regarding the GS Nats this year it simply isn't true. I appologize for having to wait until later this week to know for sure but under the circumstances no one could do better.

Just got off the phone with Beech Bend Dragstrip and Dallas just got off the phone with the Buick club and its postponed.

Dallas gave the Club a few other dates later in teh year that the track has openings.

The Club now has to meet with its folks and chose the time they want to have it at. The lady said July, Oct was a few of the possible times given.

Lets see what they choose, hope they handle this correctly.

 

[87lightweight]

well dang its all my fault it was going to be our first time
what will be going on at norwalk?

 

[Bent6]

This is what I hoped to hear. Postponement is the smart thing to do at this point rather than trying to force it to happen. Unfortunately, July is HOT but October starts to conflict with some of the other events. This is still the best decision at this point IMO.

Well, on the bright side, if it is post poned or cancelled...the next time we race there we should have a brand new track surface. With that much water MOVING over the track, there is SURE to be some sink holes requiring new pavement. I'd be surprised if this weren't the case.
