Short and Sweet version and brutally honest.

Track during heats sucked, Darland was able to snag third after starting 8th and they got worse from there. Not that it was rough, Just places of smoothness then moisture which caused the cars to buck all over when they grabbed.

Pack in track before consi's.

For the fifth consecutive week, BEST DARN RACING EVER! Three grooves and three wide in every class.

Sprints, Hagen/Ballou swap lead a couple times early with hunter in the mix finally looking like he's got the Watchamacallit Chassis worked out. Darland started 7fth but he's coming and up to fourth. Friend walks up and says Bacons passed ten cars in ten laps. I look down, Bacon on hook for flat. Restarts at tail.

Restart, Darland monster slides Hunter and grabs third. Bacon up to 10th and coming. Another restart, I comment to a friend that watch this slider DD will put on Ballou, Heck, He slidejobed both Ballou and Hagen and grabbed the lead, never to be touched again. Ballou and Hagen and Hunter mixed it up with Bacon up to fifth. Hunter involved in incident with Lapper on lap 23 in the longest non serious accident I'v ever seen (Started at Flagstand and ended in center of 1/2)) Nobody got upside down but Hunter did scrub the wall and had damage. Restart Balllou Hagen battleing, Boesplug on a tear up to fourth. He wrestles by both of them for Second and seemed like he was faster than DD at the end, But who knows how hard DD was running as time ran out. Bacon had snagged third from Ballou as Hagen had slid back but Ballou got back around Bacon on the final corner of the final lap for third.

FLAT FREAKING AWESOME!

Mods Featured Scotty Kincaid and Groomer battling for the first ten laps after Some driver from NC had to restart on the tail from a lap one incident. Kincaid winning hand-idly as some driver from NC working toward front. Some driver from NC Wins, Kincaid wins against the regulars and Groomer third.

Thanks Schrader for coming back, It was a all out clinic.

Street stocks feature was awesome abiet Caution ridden.

One last thing, Boespflug and Bacon have to be the two most under rated sprint drivers out there. I'll even add Ballou to this list. Both him and Chad were out there pretty much on their own dime and ran awesomely.

Thats all for now, Thanks Rudy for another Excellent night at the Burg.

ONLY 23 cars??!! You've got to love the embarrassment of riches that is Indiana non-wing sprint car racing.

DD looked unbeatable. BB was fun to watch come from the back...flying. Would have been quite a battle between the two of them.
Come on Mod guys, you have to put on a better show than that. TERRIBLE. 6 cautions in 20 laps? Seemed endless. Thank God there was only 15 of them there! I was looking the wrong way on the cool down lap. Was KS spun into the infield grass intentionally? Sure looked like it, maybe not. Pure stocks were the comic relief for the night.

T-Mez, Moffit & Soudrette was at Waynesfield from what I read.

Nothing happened to Schrader after he won the race. He turned in the frt stretch runoff to go to winners circle and realized that he had to go to the scales first or be DQ'd. Made a hard left thru the gravel and infield to go to the scales. No contact with anyone.

I gotta edit my memory a bit. DD after grabbing third on a Bomb of a Slider on Hunter attempted to get both Ballou and Hagen with the same slide job after another restart. He did get Ballou on the first one but it was a couple laps later when he made one stick on Hagen.

At times there were three wide racing for the lead, For second, For third, Four fourth, ect. All the more amazing that Bacon came from either the tail, or near the tail to 4th, And Boespflug from 12th to 2nd.

There was maybe one car in that field that wasn't a legit threat to win. AMAZING..
