Agree on the nice run from Gurley. Kudos to Butler Motor Speedway for the multi-lane track and a high side that several Racers were using. The new wider configuration looks to be working out well.

My special track is Butler Motor Speedway. Quincy is my hometown and dad did some racing in the early days- 1950s. Fond memories of swinging in the park on a Saturday afternoon as all of the open...
Always interesting on the very different views for seating preference. I arrive early for my seat choice in my travels around the various tracks. Yes I take a seat cushion but no problem with Gas...

I am a friend of Stevensville Mike (who I met at the race track) and got to know 'Battle Creek" Lou over these past years at many tailgate parties at the various Michigan dirt tracks hosting Sprints....
Agree Butler the place to be tonight. I have hit a couple shows this year also with Sprints done by 11:00. Extra money in all classes I believe. ..good car counts expected.
As always Mike, good hearing from my fellow Michigan STAC brother. I believe Shawn only won one segment of the SOD season. The overall SOD Champion is indeed Chad Blonde.
Final 2018 SOD...
Very good race last year before a packed house. Michigan Ace Ryan Ruhl ran out of laps to finish runner-up as he was quickly tracking down winner Cap Henry. Should be one you put on your 2018 list...
Ohio based NRA 360 group is off that weekend so should be a solid field of cars. GLSS then moves on to Plymouth for Saturday night to complete the Indiana Double.
Nice thread to help start the New Year out with happy racing thoughts and the sub-zero wind chills howling outside here in the Michigan Winter Wonderland.
Great times with family members and friends...

I remember checking out a young Christopher Bell (ok..a real young Bell) in the Rick Ferkel famous O Sprinter at Attica one Friday night a few years back. Had seen his name as a young charger...
I feel the need for a different perspective here on the Friday night show.

After the Merritt Speedway cancel in Michigan, I recall the All-Stars almost immediately announced the Saturday rain-date for Kokomo. Then the Wayne County-OH confusion began........
