I'm doing tech inspection and helping staff the event so if you have any questions, my ears are open.

THIS EVENT IS CANCELLED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just got off the phone with GLD management. The ENTIRE facility is under water due to the hard rain. Management has cancelled ALL events for this weekend because of the standing water. We can not safely hold the event because there is 6 inches of standing water on parts of the parking lot. (Since GLD was built on farmland, the asphalt gathers and pools water easily and it stays for days!)
Management will not hold the event or any event if there is water on the asphalt. I tried explaining to them that this is actually better for drifters but the insurance policy states that no events can be held when the surface is wet. We cannot go against the insurance company.
I apologize for wasting your time and having people get so excited about this. GLD put its foot down. It is good news that there are still places so close to Chicago that are willing to accept drifting and allow you to come play.
We will NOT reschedule this event since it has been pushed back twice now. Hopefully, we can work something out for next year.
