Fumes weren't bad, racing was good, had about a 1/3 or so of capacity crowd. Weather really hurt this event, as far as crowd and some of the drivers not being able to get there. The amount of cars actually there was just about right for a good show, and there were not as many race stoppages as usual for spins, wrecks etc. Roads were slick and treacherous on the way home. There was a very serious looking wreck just before we got back to the Indiana border. Haven't heard anything about it, but there was an overturned pickup with the roof removed and a short distance away a jackknifed semi in the median, which had strewn lots of mud on the road. Don't know if they were involved together, or if they were separate incidents, but there were numerous emergency vehicles in attendance. I noticed that Art Knepper felt the crowd was about 60%; it was probably somewhere between his guess and mine.
