Rain and Flooding at Daytona International Speedway

[JohnnyBee]

It is incredible of the amount of water that has been pouring down here in Florida. Monday starts hurricane season...

Hope it be dry for the 400, the 25th anniversary of "The King's" 200th NASCAR win.

WTF!!! I have never been to the treck there, but what the hell happened? Is it right on sea level, or is it just a substantial lack of drainage plumming?

[FLG]

They should start racing boats

Well on the back stretch Lake Lloyd flooded with all the rain. The track makes it a bowl, no place for all the rain we have been getting.

Is it right on sea level, ...?

Damned near.

Well, when you live in an area where the whole state is at sea level and flat as a pancake and you get 30 inches of rain in three days, its gonna pond up! Ive been to the track several times. not much damage will be done since all of the offices are outside the track. Damage is no where as bad as when Atlanta Motor Speedway had a tornado form inside the track and destroy the Box stands on the backstretch and tear down both scoring boards. Plus half of the press box on the front stretch and all windows out of the condos!
