Looks like it’s going to be a nice day at the track in beautiful downtown Putnamville. If anyone is so inclined I’m sure some of us would appreciate some basic updates. Thanks and enjoy the show

I’ll do some simple updates. It’s pretty nice out. A little chilly, but the sun is shining. Pretty good crowd already for a makeshift Sunday day race.
I’ll wait for car counts and keep you posted.

Wow. 43 sprints checked in!
Notables:
Logan Seavy
CJ Leary
KTJ
Jake Swanson
T-Mez (2E)
Jadon Rodgers

Unfortunately, track has just only been wheel packed and already has a black groove in turns one and two. It’s so incredibly dry. I guess I can’t blame them, it was 32 degrees last night. Also. It’s now 3pm and zero hot laps have taken place.

The first hot lap session just happened. I think. I couldn’t see a thing. It’s 3:35.

If you’re gonna do a day show…plan accordingly. The track is an F-.

Edit: 5:05. Going to requalify 1st group of sprints. Then! Maybe then! Heat race time.

Swanson, Burns and Mihako top 3 of heat 1.

Seavy, Brandon Spencer and Jesse Vermillion top 3 of heat 2.

Brayden Fox, Tim Creech and Hunter Maddox top 3 of heat 3. Maddox went to the tail after a lap 2 incident and drove back to last corner of last lap pass for the transfer.

T-Mez! McMillian and Rosswum top 3 of heat 4. If you know, you know. T-Mez went from the tail after a mishap, and drove to 1st in 2 laps. Just hustlin it on the top. That was fun!

Leary, KTJ and Barksdale top 3 of heat 5.

All the rest go to the b mains.

Mattox, Thomas and Gilbert from first B make it to the A.

Leary, Mihocko, Swanson. Top 3 of feature.

I pulled into the parking lot at 3pm. Had every intention of paying and attending. Saw a couple sprint cars make a few laps. Pulled off. Heard the announcement about MyRacePass not working correctly. About 3:35, saw one group of hot laps or qualifying, then the water truck came back out. I decided to leave. I guess race fans should expect this for a day race or first race of the year. Doesn't make it right. As cmi says, track should plan accordingly.

We had to leave after 1st sprint B. Starting 2 1/2 hours late wasn’t anticipated. Poor track conditions contributed to the lateness. Just wondering what time they finally finished.

9:10 for the 1st Sprint car feature was over with. It'll be the last time me and my friends ever go to a daytime race there. A total **** show! The Sprint car feature wasn't half bad.

I really wish you keyboard warriors knew how much money it takes to run a sprint car for one show.
