Weather wise, The weekend started off scary!
When we pulled into the track Friday morning, it was raining but still manageable to move around!
By noon Friday it was a monsoon with streams running through everyones pits!

The rains delayed practice until Saturday Morning!
This meant we were in for a long weekend!
765 entries, 1 practice session, a late start on the motos!
Everyone was glad that Practice was delayed because the only ATV's moving were the Utility 4X4's (and Jorge Quartez's Mule)!

The early and late arrivals to the track found out that parking was a problem!
Thursday night's rain hampered parking in the pit's!
Thursday night the FMF Rig Found out the hard way as it burried it's axles in the Mud and had to be pulled to it's pits!
The Suzuki Rig spent Thursday at Capitol Cycle for some PR and had to park on Friday in the middle of the Monsoon and found it's axles burried before it even reached the Gates!
(Sorry for no actual pics of the rigs but we were out at Wal Mart getting rain gear and beverages for the Friday sit in)

The only movement on Friday Morning was Mark Barnett building waterways for the Runoff in the track so it didnt wash away!
That and the several times he was called to park the rigs!

Waterways!

The track held together good considering the 4 inches of rain it took in!

There were a few people having fun in the Mud!
