Don't know why. On the restart, Bobby East got around her in an attempt to get another lap back and that was that.
I was not happy with the lack of cars or the fact that they made all tickets general admission after I spent time on the phone getting a reserved seat where I wanted it. However, I am glad I went. I found it entertaining and hope they have it again next year.
The track announced that we should save the ticket stubs and they will give a $10 discount on the September 9 (?) midget race. I also appreciated the all-driver autograph session between hot laps and the start of the feature. As I am sure you all know, they do this for the Little 500 also.
All in all, glad I was there (with a lot more than 200-300 people).

Frank,
To bad I didn't know you were there. I would have stopped by and introduced myself and said hello. I also am glad that I went and I really enjoyed the evening. As I mentioned on another post, I hope this becomes a "special" event in the future like the Little 500.
