Saw the terrible flooding in Nashville and wondered if the track was submerged?

Yes.
There is extensive damage to the track and will take a TON of work to get it back to even a local level. First, second, and third straights are washed out with a huge amount of water on the track. Cant check for asphalt damage yet, but sure there will be. Not a good site...

State of TN is under water. Many, many homes are destroyed and businesses too! Nashville and surrounding counties natural disaster.

The water is starting to recede. Music City BMX suffered extensive damage. The track will be closed until further notice. Your thoughts and prayers are appreciated as we start our rebuild.

If any photos are available, please post them. So sorry to hear this. I was down there on the way back from Atlanta a couple weeks back and it was lookin good!

You guys will get it back in top form in time for the National, I have no doubt!

Best,

M

Wow!

Obviously anything that we can do to help, please don't hesitate to ask...In fact, if you all want to organize a work day I'm confident that we can send you at least one group of semi-skilled track guys and gals to helpout. We work cheap as well (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

I hate to hear that. This is the "BEST" National of the year! Do you guys think you can host "The National" or should we make other plans?? I'm with Ed. If you guys need help I'm in!

Rilyn is not happy about this. Nashville is by far his favorite track.

I have faith that they can get it all rebuilt and better than ever by the time the National rolls around. The folks in Nashville are top notch!
