I find it interesting that nobody has mentioned that all 3 heats, and the feature were won from the pole. Granted there was passing in the back of the field (S Kinser for one). But, IMO the format for the WOO could use some tweaking! I find it humorous that 5 weeks back on Hoseheads.com somebody posted there that USAC only having a 16 car Silver Crown was horrible! Where are they today after only a 21 car WOO field? At least the mini sprints had a feature winner that didn't start on the pole. I suppose if the WOO comes back to this area again I'll be like a lemming, and go drink the coolaid, and then question why I did go. My reason for going yesterday is simply that time is running out for a historic track, and I'll be sad after I walk out in 2 weeks after the last show. I only saw Manzanita the first time in 2002 for the SCRA, and I was impressed with what I saw enough to move out to Arizona in 2005. RIP Manzanita! The WOO did not impress me for their "Last Stand in the Desert", nor was I about to buy there limited edition t-shirt.
