I did talk to Andy this afternoon, Wednesday March 10th:
There is water on the track and it is raining there.
He says it is still a go and he will have to call on Friday AM.
He did say he has permits for the next 3 weekends for both Sat and Sun.
The 10 day forecast originally showed it would freeze on Thursday and Friday nights and now it shows it staying about 34 degrees.
Bottom line, there is not much snow left on the ice and the water will need to drain down and let the ice float up to do the race.
Stay tuned for updates.
