Thank you guys for your support. I was looking forward to seeing you or Phil there last night, but to be honest I would not really have given the race a chance in heck of going off with the weather they had to work with .

The people at Tri State are the experts at keeping dirt tracks up and running. I don't think any track in the United States would have had the equipment>> people >>Dirt>>and knowledge to put on a race last night. And on top of all that they gave us a race track that held up through 3 large classes and was as good on the last lap of the last race {ours} as it was when we took our first hot laps.

Thanks go out to both You and Phil for helping make this race possible, thanks also to Mrs. Ruppenthal for her support of this race honoring her husband Allen an innovator in our sport. Wish one of you guys could have made it. I was unusually good last night. Probably because we were so confused in changing over from Bloomingtons "Red Clay" surface set up to Tri States "Engineered Dirt" track surface set up.

The jury is still out but I think I like "Engineered Dirt". Cleaning up the car from last night looks like it will be 4 times easier than trying to get that Bloomington "Red Clay" off of the car and tires.

Can you Believe that many cars!!!!
