I was outside turn 4 in the stand and it sucked with dust BUT !
What a race!!!!

I talked with Chris and Tim after the race and they wanted a better track and would liked to worked it before the 100 laps while the semi ran!
BUT ! No semi with 24 cars. Time to kill to the scheduled main start and the sun.
Should they of done that ????

Somebody missed a good chance to rework the track.

No need to point fingers the night is done.

Don't throw the THAT Group under the bus and don't throw USAC.
After Sprintweek and the Sumar I'm sure that the tracks and USAC will be doing something about the dust and track surfaces.

Lots of pizzlin about dust. The tracks and USAC really do have people smart enough to realize this needs to be fixed.

Lets blame DST & EST with the sun ! Since Indiana changed time zones more tracks are struggling with preping a track. Plus cost of fuel.

Bottom line was !! Damn I got dirty, but the race I saw tonight who gives a ***** !
It was bad but watching DD & Coondog running lest that 8 inches and less, off the turn 4 wall. I looked walking into the pits and the dirt was piled 14 16 inches up on the wall and the track surface was straight down. They were rockin' the top on both ends. The slide jobs early in the race were some of the best ever.

So thanks THAT & USAC & the drivers for tonight.
Some fans did leave early but those who stayed were treated to the best silver crown race I've seen and I heard many others talking about the racing.

Highlights at Kelly's Monday night and USAC soon.

:dologob:


ps - The Foxco team's RR was losing air afterwards, it was slowly going down rolling across the scales.
Tyler Walker last to 6th to crashed.
Brian Tyler up to 3rd from deep.
Hot laps were pretty awesome. On the top and hard on the gas.

ps#2 Thanks Chuck for the heads up updates and everyone else who helped tonight.
