I talked to a few friends of mine at Montpelier tonight about this sprint and midget series. We were curious to see what happened tonight in their debut, and I hope this isn't a setback for the future. I think the June 4th race at Montpelier has potential to be a good one for both the sprints and midgets.

I just got home, Lets just say, IM NOT HAPPY AT ALL and Im going a different way as the show was AS ADVERTISED.

The track however, WTH? I blame the whole deal on the track and not the ASCT. There was a meeting called with the drivers after the fence came down. The track wasn't going to fix it, Probably couldn't, Who called it, I HAVE NO IDEA! I do know they called all drivers to the pit stands. They were there a good 15 plus minutes before I started seeing push trucks leaving the property and knew it was over for myself.

Car count, I was pleasantly surprised actually, IDK, I think there was two full up midgets, The 1200 NW Minis were competitive, Its really close I'll tell ya, Think the full up pulls a bit more in the straight but what, Theres 25,000 difference in motor cost? WHile I hate Winged Mini's COUNT ME A FAN OF THE NW.

Few notable names in attendance in one class or the other but I think there is room for a Budget Sprint class and a NEED! Was great to see steals and iron going at it. Different size motors ect. What sprint car racing used to be and what a full time employee somewhere with a decent job, Could afford to do.

The tracks know the fence was in inadequacy for a long while, Add the fact that in 1,2 and three turns the tracks built up to within a couple feet of the top of the wall. DISASTER in which I seen a mini stock do ten flips take down ten poles and go dam near through the pit booth. (That area)

While I blame the track, Im kick-in myself in the ass for driving past LBurg knowing they do everything in their power to put on a good show and almost always do. I stopped twice between burg and TC seeing trailers going to burg but I kept going. Even had time to turn around and make burg but looking over 3-4 wall, I see a full pit area. Pay my admission and settle in to what should have been a damn good show. The participants certainly would have pulled it off and were doing so up until the fence came down.

Chuck Races attended so far, 5. Races seen, One complete show (Burg opener) One heat, Bloom last night and four dusted out hotlaps. Rain won twice.

The night was going real well right up until the moment when the Hornet went through the fence......not much they could do after that. The fence is in horrible shape as it is and there was a huge gap in it after the wreck. Lot's of guys were saying they should run the races but that would have been nuts. Anyone going over that wall could have been impailed by the remaining fence or ended up in the woods. I had already told my kid don't plan on running if they clear the track to continue with the fence looking like that.

The good: The track was in great shape.....damp and packed down, the racing had been great up until the fence debacle.

The bad: That 'safety' fence is horrible, heaven help us if a car gets into it somewhere along the grandstands.

Heard the driver that ended up in the woods was OK.....that was the best news of the night.
