Like Don I passed on the race tonight. Glad I found out before I made the drive. I guess with be Burg I'll always have to call before I plan to go.
On the good side of things wasn't Bloomington great last night.

Well, I went to a race once and they didn't have valet parking...so I turned it around and went home. Apparently, some of these guys need a shuttle bus and a tour guide, lol.

What a bunch of crap. The two events are totally separated, By race time the Bikes are down to a hundred or so. Plenty of room on the Motorcycle track side and police assisted exit to Rt. 50. The only way I knew something was going on is occationally Id hear a band when no cars were on the track.

Sorry about your luck if you missed it. Brad Sweet made some amazing passes at the end and Clauson was awesome in the midgets! Levi Jones and Shane Hmiel running the wall and passing cars like crazy in the sprint feature was worth the price of admission. Hated to hear about the passing of Mel Johnson, he is an ICON at the Burg and made the place special. Heats were uneventful but Dyno Don you would have been out of there by 9:30 or earlier. Sorry we missed you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, to be honest, I never would have known anything thing else was going on there. This is even know I walked right by the motorcycle event that was going on. It was out of the way and there weren't that many bikes there. If I was in Lawrenceburg already, I sure wouldn't have left. Especially going by a "he said, she said" comment from someone working at a restaurant. I saw nothing wrong with have both events and there was no, and I mean no, conflict at all...

Great job by Bryan Clauson to hang in there and get a win. Also, kudos to Levi and Shane in the sprints. I was honestly waiting to see how many laps it would take for Levi to go up there. Shane saw it and followed him up there and did a great job at it!

Much ado about little or nothing IMO. I'm genuinely sorry that I started this thread. I just thought it might help if IOW folks knew in advance what to expect with respect to parking. In retrospect, I should have emphasized that there would be ample parking in spite of the biker activities. It just never occurred to me that anyone would opt to go/stay home because they wouldn't be able to park in their usual spot. Motorhome folks and other campers may have been slightly inconvenienced but I didn't hear a lot of grousing about it. Enough!!!

400 bikers??? They fell about 300 short of that I would guess.

The features were great.

Kudos to Dave Rudisell for the heartfelt tribute to his great friend. That had to be tough. Whether you knew Mel or not, everyone involved in racing, in whatever capacity, lost a great friend yesterday.

There wasn't enough bikers to start a good fight. At least dyno added another reason not to go racing
