I too noticed the track was a little different, but for the most part relatively dust free. Since we live a couple of hrs. from Haubstadt I don’t know if their weather forecasts in the week leading up to the event Sunday were as variable as ours, but it seemed we had rain forecasted for much of the week and in reality got a few drops one day. With bright sun Saturday and Sunday, it’s hard to play catch up.
I was very surprised at the crowd or lack of. I wasn’t expecting a Sprint Week crowd, since it was Sunday night, but was surprised it wasn’t larger.
Although I enjoyed the midget feature, I have been disappointed in many of the midget features I’ve watched on Flo and at TSS. There seem to be an awful lot of bent parts at the end of the night at all the midget races I’ve watched. To a point, I get it….these are predominantly young, talented AGGRESSIVE drivers trying to move up as quickly as possible by winning and getting noticed, and they have backers and car owners that expect results, but a clean pass for position is starting to be a rarity.
