Beav,
It was a good 18" above that. Look at the top picture. There you can see how far up the track the water came. I think it has something to do with the construction of the Fire Department not 200 yards up the road from the track. They did something to block drainage. They are getting it drained though, and the track was running pretty good.
It also made for some exciting racing having the driving area narrowed consideribly like that. You HAD to be a really good driver to manuever out there. Saw some OUTSTANDING driving Sunday. I'm going to try to get down to Putnam soon to take pictures in the pits to create some more image art for the PCS drivers. I've been working a lot so I don't get much chance to head to the track. Soon though, I'm hoping....
