If ya'd of asked me at 10am if you'd be able to race on it tonight. Id of said, No friggin way. Pit's a mess, Track had a trench around the bottom. Lots of scrap and stuff around restroom, Fences were being built. Sod laid and grass planted and watered. Rocks the size of your head in the track and soft spots that could have easily rolled and been rough.
By 5pm, She was almost ship shape! Had to be a little dry as it needs packed hard before you can slam the water in it. Got real dusty but the dust was never a problem in the main grandstand.
I'd guestimate over a thousand showed up at some point to see the practice, 7 non wingers, 1 winger, about 20 mods, 1 TQ 5 Mini's, 1 Legends, 2 Indiana Superstocks 7-8 Late Models about five street stocks.
I had a old Rubic lap timer and timed the NW sprints at 15.00, LM's at 16.20 Mods at 17.5 Street stocks at 19.30 Legend mid 19s Mini's 17.8 Granted, non of these may be the fastest lap of any division as I only timed one car at a time.
Id almost guarantee the track is capable of over a second faster in all divisions.
The Late Models, WOW! Seen lots of eyebrows raise and great comments on how they were running the track.
Someone did a lot of work in the last week, No a ton of work.
Thank you!
See you Saturday and tell your friends!
