I would have to say the run by Hunter S. from the back of the pack after getting collected on the first lap of the feature in early August at Kokomo. He was right on the wall while running down the rest of the field. That was probably the most impressive run I've seen at any track in the last several years.

The Kiss race at Gas City(I still hate provisionals)The Demon's run to the front was awesome ,to bad it ended in turn one:doh:

USAC @ BROWNSTOWN
Friday of the gold crown midget nats.
The battle between Brett Anderson and Ballou @ Pauducah

Most dramatic and exciting was Rip Williams and Tony Jones wheel-to-wheel @ the checkered @ Perris. How Jones got past for the win was unbelievable.

Dean Mills clip of young Hunter @ Kokomo in July from the back was terrific. I wasn't there though.

The special and nostalgic Calistoga weekend featuring duels between Tim Kaeding and Jesse Hockett. The Labor Day weekend Lou Vermeil Classic will be talked about for years. The midget show was special also. I hadn't been to Calistoga in more than 30 years.

The Kokomo ISW race is very tough to beat... :respect:

Don't forget about the Bloomington ISW race either! The battle between Clauson and Cottle, then Clauson and Cottle with a few lead changes between the two, finally JCJ ending up with the win...

I see a trend with Indiana Sprint Week races. :thumb

The Memorial race at Kokomo with Darland winning his own fathers race. It was the best I seen all year. Really made me think why i love real sprint car racing. Thanks to all the racers that made 2008 a fun year to watch.

The Bloomington Indiana Sprint Week show was not only the best race I saw in '08, but perhaps the best race I've ever seen.:thumb

The Modified feature that night also ranked as one of the best races I saw this season. How often do you see the mods go green to checker caution free?

I totally agree with this that race one of the best I have ever seen top 5 easily and I have seen alot of them. Lawrenceburg had a ton of great races this year also, midget week show and the Allstars were among my favorite there. I know nobody wants to hear this on this board but the Woo show coming there this year will be fantastic and a must see event judging by the Allstar show this year.
