The track stayed fast all the way to the very end and that usually presents a challenge, because everybody's fast. Guys were turning qualifying speeds up until the very end. So, after a while all the top contenders were just chasing one another. Leary was on the hunt and was the fastest car on the track, at the time he slowed to a stop. He had just passed Ballou and was catching Courtney quickly, at the time. And Grant ended up 5th, but that doesn't tell the whole story, because at one point, he brought out a yellow and had to go go the back, so he ended up passing most the field. Isaac Chapple ran a good race again, just like he did at Granite City this past weekend. And both winged guys (Balog and May) made a nice accounting for themselves. So, it wasn't one of those Action Track Instant Classics. Wasn't one of the worst, either.

Now, as far as the complaining on the thread is concerned, a couple of the people mainly come here to complain. And people take that into consideration. Even though one of them is someone who is in the know and always lays his points out well. The third guy who raised issues, non wing lover. That's a race fan's race fan, right there. One that I've always thought outranks me, in hierarcy of race fans. And if he's raising issues, like with EF Hutton in the 70's commercials, they'd better listen. And finding ways to get more non-regular teams to come and compete at their events was a glaring issue last night and probably the most important riddle they must solve to insure their future.
