ParticipantThere was a kart track here. My friends tell me it’s now gone. Washed away.

ParticipantGet that thing up on the stand, looks like we’re gonna need rain tires for this session.

ParticipantLooks more like you need the tires off of stand than wets. I love it Kirk. Some look that picture and see mud, sand and debri, you see a familiar racing surface and small tuning challeng!
Hope everyones holiday goes well. We have it pretty good with the weather here in Colorado.

ParticipantI found this video of the flood in action. Starting around 16 second mark, there is a good shot of the track covered in water.

ParticipantI think they are switching bussines, from karting to rafting. :loony: Just kidding has been very rough for those guys.

ParticipantI liked that track… Its probably ok because Camarillo will build a new one in its place.

ParticipantQuite a mess to look at. Yet it seems the track was built in between dikes designed to control the waters flow?

ParticipantIt was. The track was about 20ft below the two freeways it sat between. The river however was also about 15-20ft below the track in its own basin. If you watch the video, the man bridge you see flooding over started at the same height as the track, with the river well below it.

ParticipantHere is what’s left now that the water has gone. The track and all the buildings, everything but the timing and scoring tower is gone. At this point, there are no plans to rebuild.
