    Default Flint, MI - record trial - Spring event - Cancelled.

    Our contacts at the City of Flint and Genesee County have informed us that a temporary repair of the dam breach is in the works but it will be at least four to five months to complete the work. At this point we will have to cancel our Spring event but hope to be able to run in the Fall.

    Some more information on the breach here:

    Do you guys plan on finding a different site for the october trial? Incase the lake isnt filled up by then. My dad drove by that site the other day and he could walk across it without getting wet.

    Has anyone driven by this location lately? I stopped by a couple months ago and it was still looking like Bonneville salt flats. Wondered if anyone has been by since.

    I sent our contact at the county an email a few weeks ago asking if there were any updates.

    I'm supposed to be up that way at the end of August. I'll swing by if you get nowhere with the county.
