It's also another example that there is nothing like being there.

And with that, good night Susan, wherever you are.:checkered:

The heat races were pretty good, aside from Dakoda Armstrong straight-up dumping David Byrne in the B-feature, but that's what you have to expect on these bullrings.

At Slinger, Galeridge led wire-to-wire, but there wasn't much room to pass. The track was way too fast and everyone just rode around the bottom, waiting for someone to make a mistake. That said, it was still exciting - put a few marbles in the bottom of a mixing bowl and spin it around real fast - that's what those cars looked like last night.

(And Midgy with her updates, God Bless Her!) However, after reading what little has been printed my observation is still that 4 of the last 5 pavement races have been led start to finish by the same driver. This is in no way derogatory against the winner. He has to stay there to win! I just like the dirt where a guy can start in the back of the field and actually contend for a win! Now that's a good race!
