Not a bad season, but I have had better, myself. Headed out 28 times but only got in 25 due to rainouts.
I thought the best weekend was the Indiana Dirt Classic at Kokomo with the All Stars. The heat formula was great with the inverts a la Australian sprint format. Too bad they are not having it again this year.
Everything at Butler Speedway up here was a mess. From running late (and I mean REAL late due to the uncontrolled modified division), dusty track conditions (the All Star race was the worst track conditions I ever saw) and the FAST/SOD debacle wherein it rained in the day and the track was nowhere NEAR getting it prepped in time. Eventually it was canceled. I will use severe judgement if I go there at all this year.
One interesting trip was leaving Eldora after Haud won the last round of Ohio Sprint Speed Week and making it to Butler in time to catch the last 12 laps of the Feature. I probably could have caught it all but this might have been the one night they were actually fairly close to being on time.
One new track for me: Montpelier. USAC Midget Week. BC won in sprints that night. It was the last time I got to see him win.
Starting out next weekend at the Half Moon for Chili Bowl night, then on to Volusia next month. Looking forward to going for we opted out of FLA last year.
Safe racing to all!
