The night got a little late, but I do think the wrecks had a lot to do with that. Only thing I didn’t understand was why they packed the water in for 5 minutes after putting it down. Could you have the race cars do that? Just push them off and let them run it in for 2 laps? But overall, great night of racing at The Burg!

I agree and you had a battle for second and third in the midgets with cars running sixty feet apart from one another one on the bottom, two up top.
I've seen burg awesome tacky, But you gotta get the water table down and the track packed in before it can be worked that way. Only two races and one set of hotlaps so far before the WoO show. It's almost like there's a spring in turn one when it's been real rainy. He kept it smooth and not rubbered down.
Eldora got famous from racing like that. Not the run around the bottom it is mostly now.
