It might not be popular with some, I already made 4am dead tired comments.

I personally haven't been going to GC, PVille and Bloomington much for the racing I've seen for the most part over the last couple years, Even was sick of the old burg for the very reason of no bite slide around, mostly on the bottom tracks.

I show up at GC this spring for a USAC race and see KT in the fluff go from 14th to the win.

I show up at Bloomington last night and see Hunter from 16th challenging for second on lap 23 IN the fluff and to prove that wasn't no fluke, Bright goes and does it from 18th to second in the Midgets.

Its the sheer skill, Unpredictabilty and flat out awesomeness of someone overcoming obsticals and even the danger that keep me coming back for over 40 years.

Everyone there was on the same track, Many chose the conservative safer route and their was great racing going on their. BUT JAWS WERE DROPPED BY THE COMPLETE AWESOMENESS of SKILL and Ability of HUNTER PERCENT and Alex Bright. and even the tactfulness, timing and ability or Shuman and Daum.

Did the track add to the danger? Id say yes, Was it the same for everyone? Yes I seen Hayden used the cushion advance through the B to transfer using the cushion and fluff and it later bit him in the rear in the A.

While the Curb as some call it was mid track at the beginning of the features, Some ate on it, Ran it to perfection it moved up to 3/4 to top by the end. Some ran over it, Bobbled every lap but got huge runs off of it and passed over a dozen cars doing so.

Guess when 20 years from now, I still talk about it, It will be a bad thing? I know the super smooth non equipment hurting track is a reason some tracks have 30+ averages. I understand the $$ argument and even the safety argument and you can even have some awesome races on those tracks.

I consider the track last night as awesome Far from Perfect but the racing on it was awesome!, In fact, Closer to the way tracks like Bloomington, Old Burg, PVille and Terre got famous. It puts people in the stands and has them cumming back time and time again hoping to see displays like that.

Glad everyone is OK, And hope to see racing like that again, SOMEDAY!
