I know I am. My car looks like a calico cat, right now. Thanks for all the great work you do for IOW, Jen.

What, dust at a Dirt Track! Unheard of! Travesty!

RGraves, were you not there for the last three races last season with each finish being as thrilling as can be with Kyle Cummins and others writing a book on magnificient, clean racing and leaving us all in the grandstands in awe? The Outlaws were good this year and the MOWA race very exciting with the, I know it's not open-wheel, fender-bender UMP SummerNationals the best race I've seen all year. I'll admit the wing shows can be dirty but that's why God let us invent hats and goggles. Sitting in the pit grandstand in number 2 turn is undoubtedly the worse place at Haubstadt to sit with 20 some-odd cars on the track all going for broke. All I know is that nobody in the country spends more time and puts in more effort to prepare as good a racing surface as possible as Tom Helfrich so if it does get dusty I know nobody could've done any better. I hope I don't sound high-handed as that is not my intent but if you travel around the country a bit and visit different tracks, and maybe you have, any dust at Tri-State will seem minimal in comparison. Tom's dealing with Mother Nature constantly when working the track, not frying chicken with a 100 year old, can't miss recipe.

I was a bit distracted at Haubstadt as I won the 50/50. After the race I went down to Tmez and gave him $50 for being the winner of the "I won the 50/50 hard charger award". Had lots of fun watching him race all 4 nights.

Congratulations on your winnings. I have to say, though, that in either his heat race or the B-Main, I can't remember which, T-Mez hit everything but the popcorn stand. He flat drove into someone going into turn one with a "no chance of succeeding" move and put the guy out. I wasn't impressed.
