Only dirt track that I have noticed with an open practice, I could have missed others though. But regardless, thank you for the opportunity to practice, much appreciated!
Nice lazy and slightly cool sunny morning and afternoon.

Top time was Hagen at #14.551.
Had a brief visit with Dave Rudisell. Chatted with Smith19 and caught a few minutes with Chuck Nungester who was catching a couple hours of practice before heading to Putmanville. Speaking of which I would like to apologise to Mr. Shortbus for the 'burg having such a high sprint car count on a practice day.
I was impressed at both the number of cars and fans that showed up. got to see the first three sprint sessions, Funnest to watch was the second one when Hagen off four every lap pulled wheelies one wheel at a time (At the stagger point in the front straight) EVERY SINGLE LAP. I also noted that every single lap was within a tenth!!!!!!!! Im not sure what the timing board is or I'd look it up.
Also several of the guys moving up to sprints from Mini's were much improved by the third session. Also seeing Drew Able in the Able colors and number
Off to Putnamville I went, Told Shortbus himself we were sorry and proceeded to have a great evening!.
