    No idea about the track,but it's not a good situation down there at all! At least 2 dead not terribly far from where the track is,and the threat is still ongoing!

        Yes,it's at least 14 now. Just awful.

        Last week Columbus Speedway and The Mag in Mississippi were very close to tornadic weather,and this week it was EAMS near Columbus,Ga.

          I live about five miles from EAMS. Not sure about damage there but there is widespread damage not far from there. My family is spread around the areas that were hit but all made it through with no major damage. We were lucky but tragically not everyone was. Tragic loss of lives including some young ones. Prayers for all involved.

                I live about 3/4 of a mile the way a crow flies from the track, the tornado was about 4 or 5 miles north of the highway that the track is on. It went parallel with the highway pretty much. It's pretty bad in the areas that were hit.

                    Prayers for Alabama! My heart aches for the victims of last weekend's storms.
