Lots of disappointment last night, but I’m still glad I went. I know there’s people right now asking, can we get Joe back?
We went Friday Night,had Family Commitment Saturday Night.Congrats to Carson on his win,even more Congrats to Tony & Millie,great People.
If peeps are really asking for Joe back that's their opinion. There has to be a reason they packed up and went to Florida.🤔

One sentence I’m for sure about Dan, “Tony and Millie are great people”, the nicest people you’d ever meet!

814, correct. Thus the disappointment. I’m thinking Friday night as I’m watching, I’ll be home before midnight tomorrow if they run this show again. Not to be. If you can point me to anything at all that was as good as Friday, I’m listening. When you see people leaving before the feature, that’s disappointing. Now I asked a few friends, kinda tongue in cheek, did you ever think you would be saying you miss Joe? Not one of them totally discounted the idea.

While I can’t say I was there for 305s personally, but if it’s the Sprintacular I guess they are a legit support. Of the 5 divisions running this wknd only 2 were sprint cars. On Saturday cars were on track by 6:30 and by 8:25 pm not one competitive racing lap was turned. Racing against a clock by yourself does not count sorry. As mentioned it was hot and sunny and the day after a race. One might think less cars the second nite as opposed to the first nite might be a good idea. With all of those hot laps and TT in the blazing sun the track never had a chance. I really considered posting on Saturday morning about how well the show on Friday was run. Good surface until the very end when it was on the bottom. Efficiently run with support divisions mixed in to keep what the majority of the crowd came to see moving. Being this track is in USACs hands I was pleasantly surprised. Good thing I waited as Saturday was more like I expected for them. The Friday prelim that only paid 6g was a perfect model for how it should be done. The Saturday 10g show was a shame. People were leaving and didn’t get their moneys worth. As always the racers and teams usually make it good no matter the circumstances. It’s really just a shame when the organization that sanctions these guys, gets a hold of a facility and can show the world how to do it and the main nite turned out like that. I don’t know much about Joe so to say I want him back would be a mistake. Leave that to those who know him. Congrats to Epperson racing on their win. ISW 25 is next. Hopefully each nite is a good one.

Are you suggesting there's an app that can change the weather?

Big Congrats to Garrett on his first win. There are so many that ran years that got none or only one.

Impressive to me was Reinnbold both nights and Cale Coons.
Them guys have taken to sprints like fish to water.

So very happy to see low bucks, relatively unsponsored team win the 10G's!!!
I will always root for that, having known full well, what it is like to run against the $$$ teams personally.
Congrats to Carson & all on the team. It takes all of you to make it happen.
Congratulations for a great event!
God bless America!
