Roger tried on Saturday to get a few passes in at our first test and tune at Thunder Valley (Marion, SD). Unfortunately, with all our flooding and spring rains water was still coming up through some of the patches and cracks in the surface of the track. Didn't even bother unloading. Oh well, I suppose better days are coming.

Overall, the track survived the flooding but not without significant damage. The fence and a gate between the spectator side and the entrance was completely wiped out by ice chunks coming through and the blacktop road that accesses the track had all the asphalt stripped off of it! Repairs to the road (a county road) are supposedly going to be complete by Memorial Day weekend. Some flood damage to the pit area but the track owner was about half done repairing it, he thought another week and the pit area would be back to being all usable.

Could have been worse, I guess. It's been a long winter, anxious to get back to racing!
