Way to go Alex on the 2nd place finish!

What a pair of great features we got to see after a rain delay. In the past the towel would have been thrown in once it started to rain,but not last night,they kept with it,and we got treated to great features,as the end result.

In the beginning of the night the track looked terrible after hotlaps,but at least they tried to make the track better. In the past a grader on the track trying to improve track conditions was a sight very seldom seen.

So,to everyone at Blomington Speedway,thanks for a great effort last night in trying to improve the track,and after the rain,not giving up. Even after Brian Haydens's flip which damaged the fence,they could have thrown the towel in,but kept the program going,electing just to move fans away from the damaged fence,and keep going.

Thanks for having POWRi in Indiana for their first stop (other than co-sanctioned races here before at Haubstadt) in our State. I travel all over the place to watch POWRi,and they always put on a good show. When I saw the Bloomington and Haubstadt stops on the schedule,they both were added to my have to see races list for this season. I hope they get a few more races scheduled in Indiana down the road.

Again,thanks for soldiering on last night Bloomington Speedway. Those of us that stayed appreciated your efforts.

No I am very happy where I am at Crystal. Check your phone bill I have never called and asked to drive for you. So no i dont wish i was driving your car and just like I said to don Settle Down. No one is immune to a little bad luck. Oh and I was dead-on about stanbrough not driving the hazen car like i said. Have a great day and may peace be with you.

I am glad you are happy where you are Billy and best of luck to you. We wouldn't ever ask you to drive anyway. Read your comment again, it said nothing about luck. Also never said anything about Stanbrough it was all about the Hazen equipment. I'm not the one always on IOW making smart remarks so I am pretty peaceful thanks.

I believe A.J. Hopkins clearing the fence at Kokomo between turns 3 and 4 probably deserves the high flyer award.

Agree with Andrew Quinn, great job by Bloomington officials and LOVE Powri midgets!!!!! Keep 'em coming! Also, agree with Jerry Spencer, Hershel and I hate fireworks (at least until the racing is completely over)!

Go back the Dave Darland 12/23/12 and reread it I just did to make sure. You might have missed the first part of it.

It might not be popular with some, I already made 4am dead tired comments.

I personally haven't been going to GC, PVille and Bloomington much for the racing I've seen for the most part over the last couple years, Even was sick of the old burg for the very reason of no bite slide around, mostly on the bottom tracks.

I show up at GC this spring for a USAC race and see KT in the fluff go from 14th to the win.

I show up at Bloomington last night and see Hunter from 16th challenging for second on lap 23 IN the fluff and to prove that wasn't no fluke, Bright goes and does it from 18th to second in the Midgets.

Its the sheer skill, Unpredictabilty and flat out awesomeness of someone overcoming obsticals and even the danger that keep me coming back for over 40 years.

Everyone there was on the same track, Many chose the conservative safer route and their was great racing going on their. BUT JAWS WERE DROPPED BY THE COMPLETE AWESOMENESS of SKILL and Ability of HUNTER PERCENT and Alex Bright. and even the tactfulness, timing and ability or Shuman and Daum.

Did the track add to the danger? Id say yes, Was it the same for everyone? Yes I seen Hayden used the cushion advance through the B to transfer using the cushion and fluff and it later bit him in the rear in the A.

While the Curb as some call it was mid track at the beginning of the features, Some ate on it, Ran it to perfection it moved up to 3/4 to top by the end. Some ran over it, Bobbled every lap but got huge runs off of it and passed over a dozen cars doing so.

Guess when 20 years from now, I still talk about it, It will be a bad thing? I know the super smooth non equipment hurting track is a reason some tracks have 30+ averages. I understand the $$ argument and even the safety argument and you can even have some awesome races on those tracks.

I consider the track last night as awesome Far from Perfect but the racing on it was awesome!, In fact, Closer to the way tracks like Bloomington, Old Burg, PVille and Terre got famous. It puts people in the stands and has them cumming back time and time again hoping to see displays like that.

Glad everyone is OK, And hope to see racing like that again, SOMEDAY!

What an evening! Thought we were rained out, but saw two outstanding features eventually. Thought Brian Hayden was going to make it all the way to the top of the hill in turn one! Scary moment!
In regards fireworks, I sincerely hope that they will always be shot off after the features are run. That way, the race fans can see what they paid to see, and the fireworks fans can see their show, too. Who knows, after seeing the feature races, they might become regular customers. A lot of the fireworks fans leave after they are shot off, and never get to see the features.
