Late this afternoon, Lucas Oil officials and the Augusta Southern Nationals Committee authorized the official notice of cancelation. Augusta Southern Nation- als Committee Chairman, Dayton Sherrouse stated, “Unfortunately, the Augusta area has been ex- periencing excessive rainfall over the last several months. This has caused all the reservoirs located on the Savannah River upstream from the race site to exceed their capacity and the flows in the Savannah River are too high and swift to enable us to safely conduct the 28th Augusta Southern Nation- als next week. Normal flow in the river during the race is approxi- mately 7,000 cubic feet per sec- ond and current flows are above 40,000 cubic feet per second.The Corps of Engineers has advised us that these conditions will persist for the next several weeks.Therefore, we are cancelling this year’s race and there is no date where the site is available that matches the LODBRS schedule to reschedule it this year. We appreciate the sup- port we have always received from the race teams that have come to Augusta for the past 27 years and ask you to put July 18-20 on your calendar for next year’s race. LODBRS Race Direc- tor, Ken Dollar stated that all credit card transactions related to pre-registration for the Augusta Southern Nationals have not been charged. Those who pre-egistered by check or money order will have their checks returned, uncashed. For more information on the Lucas Oil Drag Boat Racing Series, visit www.lucasoildrag- boats.com.
