It's here, passing through quickly, but severe:

Click2Houston.com - Weather Maps

Its coming a flood at my house right now and I'm about 15 to 20 minutes from the track but like Larry said its severe right now but suppose to be outta here in about an hour so hopefully by 10 or so we should be racing again.

It will take two or three hours to dry the track and get the water out of the low spots in the pits - and it's still raining at 9:10 a.m. An afternoon start is more likely and I have no idea whether we will see one or two Pro sessions today. Pro Mod already lost a session, yesterday, when things were running a bit late.

I got home last night at midnight and it started then, still raining at 9:30, this is a slow moving front, it's taken a day just to move through Dallas to here Tyler/Longview.

The forecast for today in Austin said we were to have thunderstorms until 2:00 this afternoon and then clear up , but we woke up to a CLEAR BLUE sky!!! So hopefully it will clear Houston as fast as it did us here in Austin!

I'm sitting in the parking lot at 9:45 and it's still raing pretty good. Hope we don't miss any sessions. Since it's scheduled to end at 6:30 today couldn't it run til 9:00 like yesterday?

It looks like there is still a couple of hours of rain and then everything should dry out. Hopefully, they are racing by 3 or 4 this afternoon. Is there a curfew at the track?

hey paul
all cars have to be shut off at 10 pm
that is why pro mod lost a session last night
