The crew at Montpelier did a great job preparing the track surface and facility for the series. It was tacky and smooth. I wish the track would look at scheduling some sprint car races on selective dates.

They had 20ish midgets including a few 1000CC Mini sprints that race on the track with another series. Matt Westfall was the only double duty driver. Other notables I remember off hand were Brett Beachamp and John Heydenreich

In sprints, some of the Gas City drivers were Westfall, Welpott, Ott, Frederickson, and Meseraull in the Hazen 57. It started raining pretty good during the feature and they checkered flagged it.

I have no idea with Gurley and payments etc... It didn't seem like they were trying to take an intermission before the sprint feature. They were frantically calling the sprints to the chutes for 20-30 minutes until finally someone came to get started.
