The track is made for the rain. Technically, it's supposed to drain 20 minutes after the rain stops.

We are sucking out all the debris so in the next rain they can drain.

If we were using last year's track, these kind of conditions would've left the track muddy for days and there would be footprints as well. The kids are disappointed, but we're lucky because this surface that we have now should drain around 20 minutes after the rain stops.

When it didn't rain much, the track looked good, we went.

She was supposed to be back in ten minutes and when she wasn't back in 45 minutes, we began to worry.

A half an inch of rain is nice, but we could use a whole lot more.
