Another day, more races...

Today was Tuesday, so we, of course, had racing at the Washington Bowl. We actually made it through the night. It didn't rain at all, nor did it ever appear close to doing so. Most of the races were fairly short, though. Two poles of lights were out (we believe that the fuses failed due to contact with water, because they turned on initially, but went out right away) but they're supposed to be fixed by next week, which will be the last week of racing there this year. As last week, I drove home from the track in dad's lovely white-and-false-wood-paneling Buick wagon. I did much better today than last week. No one tailgated me, and I managed to stay mostly on the road (just one little spot where I was a little too friendly with the white line), and even with the flooding covering one entire lane on W, just before it turns onto 50 heading toward the turn-offs for Burlington and Wilmot it wasn't too bad. The flooding is so bad from the rain that we got Saturday, Sunday, and early this morning that, at one point between Wilmot and Paddock Lake, one lane each direction is closed. More flooding than even several years ago when all of the roads surrounding Burlington were flooded in at least one point each, and some of them had flooding over a foot deep. County highways, flooded over a foot. That flooding lasted almost all summer (it kept raining all the time!!!). Marcie and I loved it.

Until the next race!
