Kuhn and Loyet's fiasco at Du Quoin in March was entertaining to watch.

Something I just couldn't believe that happened was Stanbrough at the KISS race at Haubstadt. Can't remember who it was he tangled with in his heat but he was relegated to start shotgun in the B. Races to the lead in just 5 or 6 laps then coming down the frontstretch blows his right rear ripping out one of the nerf bars and is done for the night.

The entire feature during ISW at Kamp...but especially the last few laps. From the battle between Stanbrough and Darland, to Whitt taking them both, to Darland fighting back up high to swipe it from Whitt and Boat by a few inches to become the all-time winningest SprintWeek driver in history...it was fantastic.

360 Nationals at Lake Ozark, MO.... 6 inches of rain Friday and Saturday... 35 305 sprints and 60 360 sprints..

TURN ONE LAP ONE HEAT ONE of the evening a 305 car on the back row jumped a right rear and tore down 3 sections of catch fence. Hour and a half to repair fence....several more flips throughout the heats and B mains.

Then about lap 4 of the 305 A feature another back row starter who had passed half the field biked real hard in, you guessed it, TURN ONE...got upside down hard and tore down the same 3 sections of the catch fence...ANOTHER HOUR AND A HALF TO REPAIR THE FENCE.

During the 360 Feature a huge fog rolled in and you could barely see the cars on the other end of the track...Checkered flag flew at 2:56 A.M.

I have been at the racetrack for 10 hours plenty of times as a competitor, but never as a spectator...Still a great show.
