Saw that on the news this morning, a $5 bet.

Anyone driving on I-20 between Birmingham and Anniston needs to pay particular attention to the concrete sections of the interstate. Water often puddles in the worn areas of the concrete.

**TnkrsToyCo** · 09-22-2009, 10:36 AM

Got caught in a flood in the 240sx out in New Mexico years back, had to ride the high ridges on the road to stay out of the water. It was like asphalt surfing.

Anyway, thanks for the heads up James.
+2 weeks of glorious sunshine and warm temps here.

Brad, you headed down too?
We'll be crossing the Ohio/Kentucky border very first thing Thursday morning heading down I75.

Yeah, I'll be there. Leaving Thursday round noon...gonna trailer the Z. we'll be in a Maroon Dodge Diesel. I'll look for your convoy. and may do a drive by at the Hampton that night... but I'll see you a TGP Friday for sure.

John, you should make Kevin ride in your back seat!!!! all that talk of those long nights for you......?/??

I've already been rained out of Z nationals

. I originally requested off for Saturday so I could go to the show, but business has been so slow the last two weekends because of the rain I can't go. Lanier literally went up a foot over the weekend, unbelievable. I am positive we haven't seen this much rain in 20 years. Sucks that it had to happen around Z Nats time. F being a retail manager. Anyway to everyone going, have an awesome time and don't forget to pack a life raft.

jschrauwen · 09-22-2009, 01:16 PM

Watching the weather channel and they said Georgia declared a state of emergency with 17 counties flooded.
I wonder if they're considering cancelling Z Nationals?

Don't tempt fate!

**funkysi** · 09-22-2009, 01:48 PM

I just called Bryan, that's never gonna happen John!

CullPearlYellowTT · 09-22-2009, 02:11 PM

Z1 just updated there site and said that it's still on and to be careful and check the georgia travel website for flooding and conditions. With this weather I'm not going to chance it and staying home. Sorry FunkySi i wanted to meet you and several others that I've known on here but it looks like to me in order to be safe and not get stuck in georgia im going to stay up here in knoxville.

**funkysi** · 09-22-2009, 02:14 PM

Dude, make a decision nearer the time. Saturday (the day you want to come down) is 3+ days away. I bet if it stops raining, which it appears to have done, then there won't be much in the way of flood water left by then.

jschrauwen · 09-22-2009, 02:21 PM

As of this afternoon, the flood water levels are receding.
Good news.
Positive thinking!!

**funkysi** · 09-22-2009, 02:23 PM

It's all gonna be ok. I spoke to a girl in Atlanta just now and she said it's sunny now.

I just don't told my boss to F off and that I was going to Z nationals. Someone in the Gwinnett area let me know if there is an open seat, my car is under the knife.

**TnkrsToyCo** · 09-22-2009, 03:32 PM

Simon they are showing I-20 flooded till tomorrow from the 44-49. They should be clear by Thursday.

**funkysi** · 09-22-2009, 03:35 PM

Really? Damn! Erm....yeah, should pass. The rainfall will be a hell of a lot less. Hope it's passable Thursday night.

orangebyke · 09-22-2009, 03:42 PM

Where in gwinnett do you live? I might have someone that can give you a ride. Do you have another car?

Weather here is good now. All rivers and creeks are still flooded but they are receding now. It will be a good show
