I enjoyed the races last night in spite of the rough track. The modifieds were really on their game. This isn't a complaint, but an observation; I am positive that I heard the announcer say early in the evening that the feature for the sprint cars would be 30 laps, but, later in the evening he said it would be 25 laps. I'm wondering what happened to the other five laps.
On the drive home to the eastside of Evansville, I believe I witnessed the most relentless display of lightning I've ever seen. The rain was torrential on I164 beginning somewhere around the Boonville-New Harmony Road exit. It did wash the spots off my car that I accumulated during the light sprinkles at Putnamville the night before.

Did anyone else see the lightning strike the radio towers southeast of the track? I saw one tower get struck twice, so much for not striking same place twice.

Shortened to 25 laps because of weather moving in according to MSCS website.

Those 5 lost laps could have definitely changed the end result,

O and by the way couldnt we consider you a Kokomo faithful?? Seems to me people just wanna argue about which track is better. Ive been to each track this year and yes kokomo more than once and seen better races at haubstadt bar nun. And for all the kokomo faithful who are gonna say that you dont get the side by side racing at TSS as you do at kokomo are just play foolish. To each his own like I said in another post people who live up north prefer kokomo and people who live south prefer TSS. Who really cares just watch and enjoy you sprint car racing.....
Have homerism, will travel.
