360 Nationals at Lake Ozark, MO.... 6 inches of rain Friday and Saturday... 35 305 sprints and 60 360 sprints..

TURN ONE LAP ONE HEAT ONE of the evening a 305 car on the back row jumped a right rear and tore down 3 sections of catch fence. Hour and a half to repair fence....several more flips throughout the heats and B mains.

Then about lap 4 of the 305 A feature another back row starter who had passed half the field biked real hard in, you guessed it, TURN ONE...got upside down hard and tore down the same 3 sections of the catch fence...ANOTHER HOUR AND A HALF TO REPAIR THE FENCE.

During the 360 Feature a huge fog rolled in and you could barely see the cars on the other end of the track...Checkered flag flew at 2:56 A.M.

I have been at the racetrack for 10 hours plenty of times as a competitor, but never as a spectator...Still a great show.
