It's way too early to speculate whether this will have an effect on the August 20-21 WoO race at this point, but hopefully the community and track can recover as quickly as possible once the flooding ends.
MINOT, ND (6/22/11) by DarinShort.com. The roller coaster ride of flooding in 2011 has taken a drastic turn in Minot.
With mandatory evactuations and record flooding predictions, the NoDak Race Club has postponed racing at NoDak Speedway until further notice.
The new multi-million dollar state-of-the-art grandstand also is in the flood path, so the track is being taken apart to create a dike around the grandstand.
The complete story is linked at the home page of http://www.raceNoDak.com and will be updated as time progresses. Some fans and teams have also posted some flood pictures on the track Facebook page, which can also be accessed from the track website homepage.
Best of luck to the residents of the area for a safe and speedy recovery at this difficult time.
