The reason I had to miss the race is that my wife's infection returned after being discharged on Wednesday, being declared infection free. She developed fever, so the urologist told me to bring her to the ER. At any rate, she is in the hospital for treatment. Perhaps when they remove the stent from her kidney, it will solve the problem. They removed the offending kidney stone last Sunday, but she keeps redeveloping infections. After going the ER route for admission three times in 28 days, my frustration quota is maxed out.

Just to drop in my 2 cents worth, but i enjoyed the racing last night. Track prep is what it is, a guessing game, just like our local weather people do. The track was the same for all the racers, a track that veterans have raced on before and a track for the younger drivers to learn on. What no one has mentioned was the unbelievable lines both Kyle Larson and Hagen were trying. To see Larson 2 car widths above the cushion to find a groove was worth the price of admission, and for those who said the track was gone, tell that to Bryan Clauson, who started 12th in the sprint feature and won it. You will see better races in your life (and worse ones), but watching these daredevils out there doing slide job after slide job, and driving almost over the hill to find grip was an amazing sight, and i will say...THERE'S NO PLACE I WOULD RATHER HAVE BEEN". My Thanks to all the drivers and crews who entertain us, it's been a rough couple weeks for our favorite sport, so scrap some of the complaining and enjoy the racing. Getting ready to head for beautiful Bloomington Speedway and buying me a Courty Cares t-shirt, available at the USAC trailers (some great sponsors on the back too). See you there, bob

I know you're saying that in jest, but it brings up an interesting point. I've noticed with Midget Week shows that have sprints on the bill and also with the wing/non wing 410 sprint shows that I've been to in the past, is that when you put two high horsepower/rpm classes on the same show so many times you have a track hoping for the best, when it comes to keeping a good racing surface for the entire night. Especially the ones that don't have the mechanism in place to do a thorough, mid-show track rework. Tommy and the O' Connors are no doubt the best examples of track operators that can bring out the heavy artillery and take back a track from what mother nature or a whole pack of these machines can do to a racing surface. Gas City and Lawrenceburg will do a rework and now even Bloomington is giving it a shot.
And it's not an exact science, either. Look at Putnamville two years ago. The track pretty much looked the same and Clauson and Larson (and Brad Kuhn, too) went out and waged a classic war. One that people will talk about for years. And even as slick as that track ended up last night, you've got to admit, watching Larson walk the tightrope, lap after lap in turn 2 was pretty riveting. He didn't leave anything on the table. And Bell sure had to earn that one.
A man is about as big as the things that make him angry.
What a $hitty track! Slide Jobs out the wazoo, Sprint winner comes from 12th in the last race of the night. Gilpin wins his 13th in row in mods. I thought it was pretty good night.
Did anybody notice that the Midgets didn't use the chusion going into the turns and blew it off and over the top in turn 2 in quals? The Mods in hot laps tried to move it up where it normally is going into the turns. Their not the blame for a big wide slick then rubber down track. Only 24 of them.
45 midgets taking hot laps and then 45 taking time slicked it off before the mods hot lapped.
Not every race track is perfect, last nights was not perfect but produced good feature racing.
Good luck to all the other tracks for their upcoming summer of track prep.
