Im not going to lie, The racing was good and I had a good time eventually. Hope Cody is ok and everyone else that were in some nasty tumbles.
Thought it was way cool that Mike Miller Won and Millers Wife won the feature start in the Hewitt two seater. Might be the first Husband and Wife to ever finish on opposite ends of a feature. She was stoked and In victory lane before Mike was!
Dallas Hewitt was flying, But showed his cards to Miller by running the extreme high line to catch him. Once Miller seen he was up there, thats where Miller went. Dallas ran him back down but traffic in the last couple laps prevented any major attempt to take the lead away. Brecht ran strong and grabbed third about four laps from the end from a strong running and heat winner Steve Irwin. Luke Hall was also flying but caught a spinning car off of two which ended his night
The track was better at the end of the night than in heats. Mostly on the cushion feature but the heats were a skating rink Which leads to what had me pissed off half the night.
Whats with the judgment calls and how are they made? THIS IMHO was total BS. Fischesser drove his ass off to get third and on one of the restarts the leader took off and the two cars in front of him got all crossed up nailing the gas when the track was slick. Docked two positions, Out of feature. Of course he won the consi, but it cost him lots of money to run a extra race plus start several positions behind where he'd of started. I was thinking more about that call than watching the third and fourth heat.
It worked in my favor though in the other consi as Adam Cruea was the benefactor of a call that took someone else out of the feature. There were also two other judgement calls in the sprint heats The one Peterbuilt car was one
Didn't mean it to be a B Fest, had a good time overall. Just a fan coming from two hours away who don't appreciated when cars Im a fan of get screwed by calls on stuff that wasn't blatant. Fischesser is probably the cleanest racer in the state.
The other thing Id change if you want people to travel to your track is run the Premier division first. Last night wasn't bad, Feature done at 1030 but the first feature pushed off at 9:30. Only reason I can see is to give fans a chance to visit the pits while the teams are still there.
Had a good time, Racing was good, BUT JUDGMENT CALLS SUCK! If there isn't a cone on restarts and the leader takes off, Its not a jump.
