First off Charles it was great to meet you again. Dad and I were sitting right in front of you. We have met once before at Bloomington. We sat next to each other. I think it was the powri I show. I know mini sprints were running.
I had a little different experience at Montpellier. I did enjoy the racing. The heat races were awesome. However, as the night progressed I could not see what was happening in turn one because of the dust. I also did not care for the fact I was dodging rocks and such all night. I got hit in the shoulder at one point by something that was as big as a softball. Charles you should be glad I was there to block that because it would have hit you right in the satchel. My arm is still kind of sore today. This may have been better if I wasn't sitting at the exit at turn four.
Overall I enjoyed the trip and may return, however I will not sit in the same place! The racing was good and the slide jobs were awesome. I just wish wish I wasn't dodging rocks and dirt the last part of the midget feature. I left before the sprints because I was tired of getting beat up and dodging rocks. I have been going to dirt tracks my whole life and have never experienced anything like this. However, I think I would try again just sit somewhere else. I also like to sit a little further away from the track than the grandstands allow here. But, I will give them another try. It was a good start to midget week and I am looking forward to rejoining the trip at LPS.
My feedback...give Montpelier a try (this was my first time here) just dont sit where they come out of four. You will get beat up. Also I want to add the big cushion in three and four was awesome even though this contributed to me getting beat up! The food and beverage was also good and reasonably priced for a race track. A bottle of water was only a dollar.
P.S I will gladly take a shot to the shoulder to keep someone from taking a shot to the sack!
