Have to say that overal that may have been the best night of racing I'VE EVER SEEN!!!!!!!! Merrill would be proud!
Arrived about 530 to storms over Aurora and Mores Hill, So bad in fact they said 56 between Aurora and rising Sun was shut down do to run off flooding. Climbed the grandstand about 6 to find normal seats taken, You could see from the grandstand a mile wide area was getting drenched and it cooled the area about 20 degrees. Did stay muggy rest of the night but it was fine.. Wasn't a problem but I was amazed at the crowd that showed up. (IMHO bigger than Midget week and still a thousand in the stands at 1230 Street stock checkered!
Racing, What can I say, From Hunter winning from the pole, But Grant took the lead on lap 19 nulified by caution, Gulick Pulling full straightaway Wheelies! To the LM Feature won on last lap from third. To the Street Stock Feature won on last corner and a awesome Adam Hamilton, Devin Gilpin, Rick Corbin and Joey Kramer Mod Merrill Downey Memmorial.
AWESOME FREAKIN NIGHT 100 cars, 70 laps of feature racing and only one line of rubber in turns three and four.
All for the bargain price of a French Fry and two nachos for me and dad.
Thanks LBURG Staff for the HARF, DARF and Represented BARC night and a big thumbs up for Merrill who placed lots of great racing memories in my head to remember.
P.S. Chase? Vanderwier (SP) looked a bit hessitant in hot laps but was strong all night after than and Richard V was super strong for not having been there before. Matt Mitchel was very stong but spun in feature. Thanks for coming!
