I-55 is Racing 7-3-10

[The Talker Guy]

It's official, I-55 will be open for the Summer Nationals tomorrow night!

Please note, to give the track crew time to work with the outer pit areas, they are advising travelers, and anyone planning on arriving early, that the pit gates will not be open until around 3:00 PM.

Hang out at the truck stop or Wally World 'cause no early birds will be allowed into the pits.

Sorry ZESTY BOYS, but things have got to be taken care of and it will take some extra time. Save me some fish and a puppy.

Thanks!

Water has to be at 32.5 to be of the road. not going to happen till sunday

 

[jdearing]

Two weeks ago when they raced, the level was 33.4 feet and wasn't on the road.

 

[rustymkl2]

Oh great another hour less of drinking.

 

[Invader]

I was just over it dnt look promising

 

[rustymkl2]

The Talker Guy has spoken it shall come to pass.If not drinks on him.

 

[mudface]

as of 10 mins ago water is about a foot above road. i too thought it was 32.5 for water to be at edge of road but depends i guess on where everyone is looking at the crest level

 

[bryanracing55]

if the road is flooded pevely won't open the road unless it's open from the other side. so is this a stall tactic or is it realy open? Listen before you say Im sturring the pot all Im saying is people are coming a long way hopefully for a reason.

 

[jdearing]

Do any of you look at the river level forecast? It is supposed to drop a full foot by 7am tomorrow and another 5-6" by 1pm tomorrow!
