@Jerry- It was good to finally get to meet you. I enjoyed talking with you.
Tonight, I sat on the hill the entire night. I don't think I had done that since I was a little kid watching Dad race. It's such a different perspective, and it gave me the chance to meet and talk to a lot of people. I really enjoyed myself. One of the coolest things of the night was hearing that Kent Christian had sold about 40 t-shirts tonight. I wear mine proudly.
I brought a buddy of mine from high school and his wife and their 3 kids, or you might say they brought me. They had never been to LPS. I believe they had a pretty good time, and they are already talking about coming back. I love it! I also sat with one of my sponsors Jordan Angle of Angle Buildings, and for the second straight night my buddy K.O.. All 3 kids made it through the night and were still picking their favorites during the bomber feature. As D.O. mentioned, K.O. stayed through all 4 classes. K.O. told me several times he just couldn't believe how hard those modified guys had to run their cars, and was he ever right. Some of the guys that like the dry slicky late model tracks weren't happy.
The track stayed greasy all the way through the heats, and there was that left over spot from last week at the exit of turn four that kept biting cars all night. I'll say this though, the same guys that are the show at Putnamville every week, were the same ones that made it happen tonight. Kent Christian's pass for the win in his heat had everyone cheering. Shane Hollingsworth, pretty much all night, will put Oly's #34 where only men roam. Kenny Carmichael Sr. in his modified came from way back rocketing off of turn 2 every lap and smoking it into 3. Kenny Jr. in his super stock makes me want one again, because passing 2 and 3 cars at a time like he does is
THAT much fun. And if you'll notice, none of these guys even won their features. The side by side fight for the lead and for 4th in the bomber feature was pretty good. You just knew Shoulders would end up in victory lane. I think I heard him tell Brad that was his 25th win. The kid's pretty good.
I love driving and hope I do until they have to wheel me in and out of the nursing home, but when they do they better aim me toward the track. Tonight reminded me why people come sit on that hill every Saturday night. Have a good night everybody, and remember to supoort your local tracks!
