My wife and I attended the Monroe County Fair races last night and really enjoyed ourselves. The entire facility was way nicer than we thought it might be. Yes, the track was small and was tight for the mini sprints but once the field was pared down to 15 the racing was very good. In the future MMSA might want to consider only starting 15 at the smaller tracks such as this. The grandstands were very nice, the guard rail and protective fencing was very good and the surface held up well. The TQ's also performed well and being they were smaller produced the better racing. Hats off to both groups for keeping the program moving along nicely with the first green dropping at 7:32 and the last checkered waving at 9:17. No needless messing around just almost continual racing action. A very nice touch for the MMSA group giving away side wing and front wings to people in the crowd. That side wing of Brad Strunk would have looked good on one of the walls of our race room in the house! We were very impressed by the entire show and would definitely return next year for this race.
