Battleground? Probably didn't miss much then. . . . .

Oh, did that come out? Oops. . .

Hmm. This trip I drove from Houston to Indy (1,100 miles), then from Indy to the Burg (110 miles) and they rained out; return to Indy (110 miles). Then, yesterday from Indy to Terre Haute (85 miles) and they rained out; back to Indy (85 miles). These things happen. As far as I am concerned, both decisions were the right ones based on the information at the time. Man, it does suck. I am pretty confident that I will experience even more rain outs in the future, possibly even in the next few days. Disappointing? You bet! Not much I can do about it except to enjoy the drive, because I also know that there will be more racing in my future than rain outs. . .

Might have seen the quickest sprint car show in history last night. After a rain delay, National antham started at 7:30pm. I started the truck at 9:11pm. 3 sprint heats, 2 kenyon heats, 30 lap kenyon feature, and a 60 lap wing sprint cart feature. Yes there were cautions in each feature. Must See and Anderson Speedway did a great job last night!
