A great night at the 'Burg. Don't know what all the :angry-smiley-007: is about. Where else can you see a field of 71 of the best sprint car drivers on one of the country's legendary short tracks? The track was fast all night and, despite the lack of passing in the heats, the feature more than made up for it. Kudos to Ballou who, temporarily at least, has taken away the title of "Hottest sprint car driver in the country" from Jon Stanbrough. Nice to spend a good portion of the day & evening with Marv Fish, who I don't get to see nearly often enough. Also good to see Gregg, Ed, John Hoover, DannyB, Tom Jennings, and Chuck Nungester. Also met a fellow by the name of Fred Frost, 73 years young, who claims to have attended every Indy 500 since 1946! Now that is a streak. Thank God no one was hurt when Danny Williams Jr. flipped his car into the concession area off turn four landing on the picnic table in front of the concession stand. Got to see why the denizons of Section A get more excited about buying 50/50 tickets than they do about the races!:eek::thumb: And now the local season is down to the Kokomo Klash in 2 weeks.
