          Flooding in my area is the worst it's been in 20 years. The creeks and streams have died down, but now the river is on the rise. Some people in the area in small river towns have had to pack up and move to higher ground. Sad thing is, got more rain in the forecast for a couple days later this week. It's been a mess yo say the least.

              Think it needs a little bit more water on the track, racing should be good.

              Does prp almost flood every year around this time of year?

                  Yes picture is from this year. Check out their website. They have posted a few photos of the flooding. Heck you can barely see the top of the grandstands.

                    It most generally floods, but not nearly this bad. Anytime you see it up close the bridge on the left, it's way up. That bridge is probably 20-25ft from the ground. So that gives ya an idea of how deep the water really is.

                        It floods just about every year - Peoria is almost as bad

                          I'm with zyoung it sucks, but eventually they will open. The rain we've had might prevent racing in the coming weeks at florence, atomic, etc.

                            Track is going to be a straight dust bowl from all that silt the first month or so.
