Was Anyone at Butler Saturday Night?

I was just wondering if anyone on the forum was at Butler Speedway this past Saturday Night? They had their opening night and by the looks of the race report had a good number of sprinters.

If anyone was there, how was the track? I know they put in a new fromt wall for the old one collapsed, or as someone else had said on another media site, "finally committed suicide".

Have the restrooms been improved? Track announcing/speakers working after taking a couple of years off? Was there social distancing and masks? Concessions? Pit entry?

As long as Donaldson is still involved with the track (which he is behind the scenes) I don't see that ever happening. Which is sad, because Butler is my favorite Michigan track.

Yes, the restrooms could use some work.

As far your comments on Donaldson, he's a big part of the reason there still is a race track there, and that it races sprint cars.

Great view, but you wouldn't like the climb up.
