Good luck to everyone tonight. Going to be there to check out the track to get ready for our big front wheel drive race this fall.

Did you make it, 767? Hopefully we can have the track in better shape next time, took the drivers a while to figure out a line around that steak plate shape, then the dust set in, but there is always a learning curve for a new track. We didn't get much damage, luckily, I know not how or why, just glad we didn't! Bob

Track was a one liner, grandstand crowd was decent, don't know how long it had been since they'd had any rain, or what kind of equipment they had to work with, other than a couple of water wagons, can't say the racing was all that bad, just coulda used more water down low, they must really prep it for the cycle shows, and I'm not sure they advertised very well, plus the track is not central to the fairgrounds, maybe when we go back, things will be better, sometimes it's hard to draw against a fair, guess we'll see.

Ya you guys really needed a local class to run with you to help bring in the fans. Many people do not know what these cars are. Not to mention, the fair has not really had any racing the last several years. The more people you can get involved with the event, the more fans it will drawl. As far as track prep, they do not have much equipment. I will be promoting the derby Friday and Saturday, and they need more equipment for those events. I think all they did for the bikes was put some water down (I could be wrong, never seen a race). Just glad someone is using the track. Always thought it would be a fun place to run.
