- Chris Gurley. Flips on the second lap of the amain, car gets put on the wrecker and he runs to the pits with helment on and fixes the car and pushes back off.He got alot of my respect tonight.

-Shane Hmeil. Goes into turn 2 and flips the car and keeps it going,flagman throws the red and shane just drives around turns 3 and 4 and shuts the car off along with the others.He also restarted and raced a few laps before he pulled in.

I had a great time going to kokomo speedway tonight and i cant wait to go back.

These where just some of my thoughts i thought i would share.nothing else to do. :6:

Get back to school LOL.

Gullick is looking great at the Burg. Hes had bad starting possitons but a week ago he took the final transfer from Hunter on the last lap with a bold move running up over the cushion and then down the banking under him.

Always great to see them at the Burg.

1) They throw dinner rolls at people.
2) They like to charge full blast into the cushion and play chicken with the wall, at race tracks that have them.

-Along with Hunter, Windom, Stanbrough, Darland and especially Gulick in the last half of the race, were just screaming around the top of the track!!

-What I remember about Kokomo is still true. So much of the track is drivable that the sheer amount of action that is going on at any given time really messes with your brain's ability to process it.

- For most of 27 laps it looked like an easy win for Puterbaugh. But Cottle's constant chipping away and Stanbrough's dive at the the tape really made it interesting in the last two laps.

-I can't wait till Dean's or Sean's highlights come out so I can see if I actually saw, what my eyes think they saw, involving Shane Hmeil's flip-and-go.

-I think the pork Chop sandwich is bigger than it used to be.

I knew you would be back and am glad you did. You can't deny greatness!

Thanks to all for your kind words about Coleman. He is trying very hard to make his way in the toughest racing in the U.S., bar none. Something I am sure most of you are not aware of, except those sitting in the front row at Kokomo Sunday, Coleman's Tear Off post on his Shield came off and he had Zero Tear Offs for more than half the race. He was having to wipe off his shield with one hand while wheeling that thing around the outside. His Mother and I were holding our breath while watching him. Prior to the restart after Shane's Wild Ride, I gave him the "if you cannot see, pull in" sign which we established years ago when he was racing micros and he gave me the thumbs up. But, he said it wasn't too bad and he could see fine (typical driver). Thanks again all for your support. Coleman and the Team appreciate it. We hope you enjoy watching us run. We like being a part of the Indiana Racing Group.

Pete, Well said, I've been a fan and must of met mom and some family two years ago at the LBurg MSCS nationals as she told me about him, How he was only 12 and cheered like only a mother could. Last year that win and a couple other runs really opened my eyes as to how he is willing to go find the speed and make the move, Backing out if it isn't there and going for it if it is. Make not mistake, He will be a contender anywhere he runs soon. Its clear hes still learning but I certainly am glad you run Indiana and the Burg.

Best wishes and stay safe.
