The night was going real well right up until the moment when the Hornet went through the fence......not much they could do after that. The fence is in horrible shape as it is and there was a huge gap in it after the wreck. Lot's of guys were saying they should run the races but that would have been nuts. Anyone going over that wall could have been impailed by the remaining fence or ended up in the woods. I had already told my kid don't plan on running if they clear the track to continue with the fence looking like that.

The good: The track was in great shape.....damp and packed down, the racing had been great up until the fence debacle.

The bad: That 'safety' fence is horrible, heaven help us if a car gets into it somewhere along the grandstands.

Heard the driver that ended up in the woods was OK.....that was the best news of the night.
