I am so there! Looking to continue to improve, and hoping for another good turnout to make me work for it.
(not to be picky but September 20, September 27, and October 11 isn't three consecutive weekends, unless you have a different calendar than I do)

OK, I guess that's one way to look at it...
Question: The website says that the 27th is the last points event but the way this posting reads it sounds like the 11th counts towards the championship; which is it? Not that it makes much difference to me, I'm planning on making all three shows anyway, but it might affect someone's plans if a top ten is at stake...

I don't have a clue I know next weekend is the final points night across the board but that could be different with the midgets since we have been plauged by weather most of the year.. I hope it will be a points race.. You guys deserve it.

Did mother nature steal another race this year? Radar doesn't look too great.

We were rained out midway through the heat races. Please save all ticket stubs and wristbands as these will serve as your rain check.

Hope I wasn't the only one who tore outta there so fast we forgot to take the transponder off and turn it back in....
Also, if anybody finds a spare RR & LR out there on Highway 26 or I-69; not sure if we got ripped off at the Taco Bell in Hartford City (it was raining too hard and I don't remember even looking at the trailer) or the lock vibrated out somewhere, but if they fell off on the road they sure didn't make a sound. Not the best of nights all around; Lynsey took a hard ride in the first heat. Hope the headache goes away soon, kiddo.
