Just a few of my thoughts and opinions from this weekend's Chili Bowl.

The Good :thumb
-- The walkway behind the turn 3 and 4 grandstands were back
-- The racing was fantastic
-- The fans and racing community pulled together for an injured driver
-- The scoreboard in turn 2 was fairly easy to read and helped figure out certain cars/drivers
-- The beanbag tournament was a lot of fun, as usual, even though me and my partner got smoked
-- John Godfrey/Spike Chassis... Impressive.
-- Pine made it to the stands for the A-main!

The Bad :thumbsdown:
-- Friday morning, the entire building was closed, and required a ticket/armband to get in. So much for being able to walk around the pits during the day. :censor:
-- The pass-outs to leave the building were just a pain.
-- The prices on everything have gone up, no surprise.
-- Natalie Sather as an announcer.
-- Several nasty crashes... Tim McCreadie, French Grimes, Frank Polimeda, Nick Knepper... any further updates on the first two guys? Frank and Nick are said to be okay.
-- A midget driver didn't win.

The Ugly :doh:
-- Yeley's sad debut of the t-shirt cannon. I think it had something to do with Jonathan Vennard's mechanical skills!
-- "The Tailtank"
-- French Grimes' car, obviously home-made.
-- Watching Head and Jones stagger up the bleachers 4 nights in a row!

There may be a few things I forgot and will add/edit later... Anyone else have anything? And let's not make this another Swindell post. I'm already tired of talking/hearing about him. :O: :checkered:
