It's cool to see a race where you can't predict who will win. Lots of passing and they were fast. I'm amazed at how they can go sliding 3-wide in the turns and not touch. These guys are awesome drivers.

How about the future TQ driver Austin Nigh? The crowd loved him. I think I'm going to Vegas to bet that he'll be a household racing name in the future.

You created a monster! He now thinks he should get to do that every time I race the TQ! By the way, he was turning 28 second laps out there. Not bad for a quarter midget.

He deserves it. He's really good. It amazes me at how well he can drive at his age. I guess it shouldn't surprise me because he gets racing DNA from both sides.

Thanks Jon the turbo guy for your contribution to the Furthest through the Field award. It was nice to finally meet you and put a face with a name.

Congrats to Jay Parks, and Matt Lux on your feature win last night, seems like all the races were heavily contested, lots of real close racing, front to back, also thanks to our friends to the West for "dropping by", we always enjoy having you, hope you enjoyed it as much as we did. Only 3 races left this season, lets hope things continue to go as they have been, it has been a real fun season, and maybe by Greensburg, Kyle and I can have the T7 race ready for Don. Lets go racin! Jay, I think the action in the pits, was almost as exciting, as the one on the track, I think you ran a alot more laps than Matt did. Bob

Congratulations Jay and family and Matt on your feature win! It's well-deserved!! Thank you to Gary for setting up our Patsy Cline concert. Ginny was wonderful and I enjoyed listening to her perform! Watching Gary dance, for those of you who missed it, was great too! Thank you to Mark W. for arranging for his friend Nick to bring the tiller firetruck out in remembrance of 9-11. It was surreal to be able to touch such a part of history since the firetruck was actually used on 9-11. What an honor to have Nick share it with us!

I have to say, the cars from Illinois almost look like full midgets at first glance.

Sharp cars!

Thanks to everyone! It was fun! Sorry that I missed Gary dancing. Did anyone get that on film or tape? PLEASE??? I could really use a copy of you did.
