A big thank you to Harold and everyone at Montpelier for a perfect racetrack on a challenging night; "smooth and hammer down" only begins to describe the quality of the racing surface. Unfortunately I was only able to truly enjoy it for a couple of laps in my heat before the top end of the spark and/or fuel curve on the Indiana Chain Gang "Yellow Zonker" #97 slowly began to dissipate, and I faded to a distant 7th. Just before that I actually thought I had the drive off the inside of 4 to make a run at Corey Bedwell, who had made the tow following a rainout at Waynesfield to take the wing off for the first time; it was good to feel competitive, even if it was only for a couple of seconds. Ah well - baby steps. Good to see Tyler Kendall out there also representing the Chained Brotherhood. Let's see more sprocketheads out there next week! Both of those guys told me that they had a lot more fun running non-wing, and who am I to argue?
