Short and sweet and honest when necessary.
Some of the best NW racing I've seen. yes it was a tad on the dry side and dust but never so you couldn't see bad. What made it bad was the fact the wind was from the north toward the stands. Bet the back stretch had a great time for a change

First heat Moffatt and Abrahms swapped the lead probably ten times before Moffatt checked out.

Feature, Wow, Moffatt grabs lead on start with Bibent in tow. Five laps they catch traffic, Moffatt goes low to pass em while Bibent passes em on the outside. Moffat loses some momentum and Bibent cuts under for the lead out of four. Not sure what happened next two corners but Moffatt on tail of Bibent then LItterally on top of Bibent and wall. Bibent un damaged kept going. Moffatt lost a lot of oil and retired. Restart Bibent grabs lead. Leads cleanly till about lap fifteen when Bilbee and him swap lead a few times. Bibent holds lead till lap 22 traffic and Billbee and Justin Owen get past Bibent. All three of these drivers drove a flawless race. Was a joy to watch.

Talked with Mr. Boss for a short. Down three cars due to needing motor parts. It's not just tires people. It's everything that's in short supply or on back order.

20 cars but probably fifteen capable of winning races at anytime. Very happy with that. Seen Jimmy and Wife from afar and the Racin families for a short chat session. Glad they came

Watched on The Cushion, above average camera work did a great job catching most of the action. It was a very entertaining race from a fans perspective, for the racers hopefully not many tires were burnt off. Justin Owen was rippin.

When the track is smooth, I can’t think of a driver who gets around that place better than Nick Bilbee. He doesn’t make many mistakes, and is vert smart, when he started to cut down off of two is where he won the race, made it look easy, which it is not at Lburg. I gotta say he is also my favorite interview!, just needs to work on his cage stand.

20 cars seemed disappointing, it wasn’t! The racing was fantastic!! Bilbee said in his interview he didn’t like it when the curb was on the wall, but he sure ran it the best!
