The year before that it rained pretty much all day until 3 or 4. There was water in places in the campground that was standing up to the ankle. They got it in with all that rain.
That was when Levi still ran the 2B. He won the sprint car feature by running ABOVE the cushion in 3 and 4. He'd come into 3...run up the little hump above the cushion....go through the corner above the cushion….then run back down the little hump in 4 to go down the straight. Still have never seen anybody run above the cushion like that.
They will do whatever they have to do to get it in. If it was an April show, then I would worry. They don't seem to work as hard to get those in. Unless things have changed….if the rain stops, they will get it in.
That Levi year was incredible. It was pretty amazing. On the drive home it made for great conversation. I grew up watching Lealand and Shu and saw them do some incredible things with a sprint car but Watching Levi run that line ""he was also doing it in 1 &2" is something we might never see again. The Yeley/ Darland midget slide job clinic last year was pretty good too. Not 4 crown related but that race Ballou slid through all the holes and ruts while others hoods flew off from huge chunks of track and parts breaking from the rough track was fun to watch. You just knew he could not make it and was going to wreck at any second and he never did.
