Putnam Park Completely Flooded out *** PICS
Our first 10 / 10ths Motorsports event was a history making event, unfortunately for the wrong reason.
Cental Indiana recieved up to 10" of rain in less than 24 hours, including Putnam Park.
Front Straight
4-5 Straight and Dead Bear
Short Straight into 9
Water coming off turn 1
As a result, we will be adding additional activities at our next event
I will be working on some type of replacement event etc. for our drivers so the day will not be a total loss.
Thanks to the 10 /10ths staff, our instructors and most importantly our drivers for what was still a great day with some great follks.
Thanks also to the great staff at Putnam Park for all their help.

Looking forward to the next event!

I was all set up for the 360 mile tow, gassed up, loaded up and the car on the trailer but the weather forecast was not favorable ...I look forward to next time.
Thanks for putting all the work in.

Shoulda come to Grattan, we had a blast. It didn't rain until night both days
I guess I'll have to drive at NASA events seeing as everyone I know does !
PS. Mitch was a cool guy and his welding was great. Thanks for the tip.

Bill - all was not lost.
Listening to your philosophies about HPDEs and where you want to take 1010ths was very interesting. We were able to spend time/ask questions with a great group of instructors (in a no-pressure environment).
Often seeming disasters lead to new endeavors -> 1010ths WATERSPORTS?
OH ...almost forgot..!!!!! I've already used my door prize...LED flashlight- very handy. Seriously.
