Right you are Jerry,truth is the only "beating up" was if I had tried to be first through the food table @ the Hospitality Tent!

if you get a digital slr, be prepared for major money spending on lenses and all that for low light shooting at night. I have a digital slr and a external flash. My camera was virtually useless during the feature at the Don Smith classic. Blurred pics was the norm at that point. What I need is a 700 dollar lense and a 1000 dollar flash to be close to getting good pics once the lights come on and the sun goes down.

How was the infield crowd for the race? Bigger than usual due to the cars being pitted inside?

Staggerman, I don;t know the offical numbers but it was a pretty decent crowd overall. In honesty, because of having the cars pitted inside, it looked to be a good crowd... I do think it was a hit with the crowd, especially the kids...

I realy had my doubts about the piting inside but it brought back the good old days, so i guess the hassles of unloading and loading wasn't that bad after i talked to a few guys,they said it was worth it, just wished we could have raced. as far as the crowd i realy think the sunday day race had a lot to do with it. It was apretty good crowd, and alot of people that have never been there to see races before,so new fans maybe.

+1 for a new fan (me).

One day I want to see the race from other than turn 1 and 2. Might have to go up high to see a heat race.

:usac:Cool!!! Back to parking in the infield. Fun in the sun, a day in the dust. Racing at The Action Track. Having your family at the fence ,not up in the grandstands and kids in their playpens or on a blanket . The good ol' days are back! Bobby B.
