Tony James,
VIWA Race Secretary11/19 update: Well I guess I spoke too soon. We have had another 2″ of rain this am & more to come this evening & overnight. The track is 75% under water & despite digging diversion ditches all morning, water is still rising. I estimate we need 24 hrs without rain to get the water away & I don’t see that happening, so reluctantly we will have to cancel the meet at this early stage.Thank you all for your original entries.
