    On Saturday there was some water at Turn 3 from the slough. When you come in the main entrance, you'll see the water level in the slough is about 18" below the level of the road.

    I didn't know this before, but technically MRP is on an island because the slough is now broken by the access road.

    During the car races Saturday, the right hand part of the straight between 2 and 3 was covered in water and it was coned of and made a no passing zone.

    You can see the water on the track in this on board video from the weekend. I guess the river will be a little higher on the weekend?

    ** EDIT ** - evidently the water levels have dropped since the weekend, and there is currently no water on the pavement!

    Apparently the water will crest on Saturday or Sunday. Not sure how high, but the West Coast Express people have reserved crane time to move their stuff out apparently.
