RAIN! RAIN! RAIN! This event went into the sink because of a lack of planning in the event of rain. It could have been great. The first battle was. But 18 hours of steady rain reduced everything to a mudhole. I had to pay to get towed out of the parking. For the next MEGA EVENT, I suggest we ask a lot of hard questions about what the plans are in the event of rain.
