The bad news - there remains standing water on parts of the runway and it's still way too wet to mow at the moment.
The terrible news - bikers have chopped the runway to shreds! I kid you not, when I say that for 75% of the total runway length and width, you'd be hard-pressed to mark out one square metre which wouldn't have deep tyre marks in it. The only area to escape attention was eastern end of the strip, for about a quarter of its length - the rest of it is ruined. I didn't take a photograph because my 'phone was at home on the charger, but I'm sorry to say that I'm not exaggerating - it's going to take a long while to recover from this hiding.
Theres no winning at the moment with McCoy, The weather just keeps pounding it and keeping it wet enough for the bikers to chew the runway to Shreds.
If it was hard like before there be minimal if any damage.
What Do You Mean Theres a Throttle Curve ?, Its Either all the way up or all the way down
