Made it home. Binks’ 3 cyl ls was pitted two trailers down and it’s really cool. The other car he has that Swanson is running is a 4 cyl ls, he let me look it over last night, super impressive. That guy has won 6 24 hours of lemans and some trans am titles as an engineer. He basically milled the cylinder bank off. The full bellhousing is still at rear. There’s a plate bolted over where the right bank would’ve been. Blake Hahn was supposed to run Monday, pushed off and wouldn’t run right, now he’s somehow running tonight instead. I wondered why they weren’t trying to get car running Monday. Something isn’t right about that

Well, maybe there wasn't a hometown boy advantage. Maybe everybody. That's involved with Midget Racing. When it comes to officiating it. Especially the flag man. Needs to start using the Black Flag more. It's supposed to be racing, not a demolition derby. And it seems like Midget Racing has turned into just that, a demolition derby lately. Definitely not for the better. The way things are going. And all the tracks running midgets and all the organizations sanctioning Midgets. Need to instruct their flag Man.. On the flag stands. To start Using the black flag When they see stuff like we seen last night. No matter who the driver is. Put him to the rear. Put him in the pits. That'll put an end to this rough driving. And these drivers that think they're in fender cars and not midgets? But I guess that's just my opinion. I'm 66 years old. Have been going to open wheel races since I was five. And like I said before, I'm a former driver. And former track official. And by the way, I was on the flag stand. And I did know how to use the black flag.
