A rather bizarre evening of racing to say the least. Before the pushoff for heat race #3, the power to the tower at Anderson Speedway went off apparently due to a transformer blowing. A lengthy delay ensued as the track lights, scoring system, PA system and TV production equipment wasn't working. They had the ambulance go around the track and announce to the crowd what was happening. They secured a generator and finally got the power restored to continue the program. Idle time did offer the opportunity to visit with friends.

Come feature time they tried twice to get the field started 2 by 2 but an accident on each try voided that. They decided to line them up single file to restart and that took some additional time to get accomplished. Finally they were able to start the feature.

On lap 37 they had a caution flag and the Must See Series officials decided to red flag the race since the cars were running low on fuel. Finally got that accomplished and then on lap 50, the flagman displayed the checkered flag. Not exactly sure, but I think he grabbed the wrong flag and meant to grab the black flag for car #40. They immediately threw the yellow flag as some of the spectators were leaving.

The last 10 laps were run without any other "interesting" twists or turns. It was good to see 25 cars show up for the race. With a little time I think that the Must See Series will continue to grow and fields will expand.
