Whats the track like from the rain?

Are they paying anything Xtra tonight or just a regular show?

Thanks for the updates Joe.....:6:

Track is coming in as we speak. They had to pump water out of the infield and they did a hell of a job doing it. The thing that shocked me the most is seeing Big Joe actually working hard :)

ok so 2 weeks ago Clauson won at VCS and then got into a crash at kokomo (while leading) He won gas city last night and got into a crash tonight in his heat.
TALK ABOUT SOME BAD LUCK!!!!!

Dont get me wrong, I like Brian and Tim but maybe next time they win they should take the next night off.

The crates ran a good race, the Sprint heats took the longest to run due to a bunch of yellows. Cant blame one on the other.. This has been a heck of a night, with great work being put in by the track crew and drivers alike

He raced a hell of a race, Corey. I think everybody was thinking that once they got into lapped traffic that Stanbrough was going to eat him up. But, he actually beat Jon at his own game. Impressive performance under a lot of pressure would be an understatement. Really good race and a monumental effort was put in recovering this track from the clutches of Mother Nature. The fifth heat race was the best heat I've seen so far this year. You could have thrown a blanket over the top four, for almost the entire race. I was my third time at VCS this year and the third time I've left a happy camper.

3 Cheers for Dallas and Nick.

Father/son team. Great guys.

Nick has looked good all year.

I am also happy for Russ Harper. Getting to show everyone his talent. He and his dad are great.

Bill Harper 5/17/09 4:22 AM

Re: VCS Updates
 
Thanks for the kind words. Congrats to Nick and Dallas Bilbee! I couldn't be more proud of Russ. While I've been away friends like you, your brother (Baues at Leadesr Edge), JoeDev (DRC) and others helped him put this program together, Thanks! I'm done in Iraq on June 5th, can't wait to get to the track.
Bill

Nick has looked good all season ! What a win for that team.
Video will be up soon.


I think it needs to rain like that every week ? Nice track, great racing all night.

:32:

Best of the night was seeing IOW's Bill Gardner at the track helping Hayden again.

I belieive Bilbee came from the "upright" mini sprint ranks.

Well, Urish, Weyant, and Nimmee all looked good tonight. Mitch Wissmiller also looked good until his engine gave up the ghost.

Keep an eye on Blake Nimee. This kid just moved up to the full size sprinters from the 600 ranks, and while he's not one of the more talkative drivers you're ever going to come across, you're still going to be hearing a lot from him in the near future.
