Has everyone already seen the video for the final night of the fall nationals that Loudpedal put together? I found it here: http://www.sprintcarinsider.com/news...l-productions/

Ballou and his slide jobs. Kid's an animal.

Great video. Thanks! It kind of amazes me how the midwest guys keep going out west and bringing back the money. I don't mean that as a slam to the west coast guys but it is very hard to go into someone's backyard and beat them. They have done the same to the midwest guys but lately it seems the midwesterners have had the edge.

I think the point made is that we see these guys on a much more consistent basis than say a Mike Spencer.
But the point that a bunch of our "locals" come from other regions is well taken and indeed something to be grateful for.
We'd be glad to adopt Mike, the Demon, and or the Vanderweerd's for 2015 too if the track lights align!!
