That was great, slip slidin, bump'n bangin racing at it's best. Neither driver did the other too nasty either. Wish this type of racing would be brought to the Silverdome in Pontiac. Don't care for going to Detroit but would if there was a race like this.

The most impressive thing to me is that camera work. I wouldve fallen over or lost my lunch after spinning that much. Very good race too

Great video. I know this is a little off topic, but there is one thing that I have noticed that kinda annoys me with midget racing and sometimes the sprints. Why does everyone have to have a black car. It is not easy to read the numbers. Come up with some originality so I can tell who is who. I would like to thank the Loyets, I always know what car they are in.

I wish I did not leave before the A-main, I had a 4 hour drive home, but during the heats and qualifiers, the crowd wasn't bad. And I'm glad that gate held up when that car's throttle stuck and he went flipping.

HAHA!! It's not as disorienting as you would think. You get so focused on the actual cars that they actually help keep you focused!

Most of the bodies come in black gel coat fiberglass so you don't have to spend money on a paint job's every time they get in a little trouble.
BLACK is also a serious race color. Nothing more pretty than a shiny Black race car with Gold Leaf lettering on it. Black seems to say to me racing is "Serious Business".

My wife runs the camera and she hates black too. People with black car's need to have big bright numbers on them.

Haven't had time to view the video yet, but I sure had an enjoyable evening; great racing and superb track preparation. Also had an enjoyable chat with Leon Gentry; good to see him out and about after his recent heart episode.

I whole-heartedly agree with that!
