it was a good race. way to dusty though, it was black after the first heat. It was to bad for Bland I thought he was going to get Short in another lap or two. Glad to see Short win it. Looked like East was a little upset with the flag man.

imo i think east was upset because he was hit from behind before he even got past the cone on the restart and he lost control of his car enough for the yellow to come out and it didnt intill he got to the back stretch. it was either east or the black 51 ran out of gas with 2 to go. and by the way i wish shuman would of started closer to the front because it would of been heck of a race between him and short. Shuman had the bottom figured out which almost anybody else couldnt do on every lap

East ran outta fuel. Shuman had no where to go. Pushed him to get him out of the way. Didn't know there would be a need for a fuel stop for 25 laps. Stupid. Scoring was laughable at best. Sleeveless guys waving flags to move cars = joke. Buy a chalk board.

Eagle you got that one right.... Not bashing here just some advice....chalk board...dry erase board or at the very least when the cars sit for 7 or 8 minutes while under red have someone go to each car and let the drivers know who they follow....Even though the track was a little dusty I thought the racing was pretty good...I enjoyed myself and wish the Fleetwoods the best of luck this year...

Website says that Raceivers will be mandatory starting May 8th at Twin Cities. They sure would have come in handy last night.

Track was not that bad at all. REALLY! Heck you could see cars all the way around the track. Bad dust is a speed week at Kamp. My ***** was cars leaving the track under caution changing a flat and then not restarting on the tail. And you all know who you are stop the BS. Did your mommy have to tell you how to do everything. Or does she still. Jeff
And a big hooroa for J T Stapp for a nice finish with a steel block in a big gun race. I do believe he had the only steel block car there. Maybe; correct me if I'm wrong.

questioned the tire changing under red and was told this is the rules at Twin Cities and i needed to check the web site ! The guy said you don't even have to have a flat , you can change tires under red any time as long as your back out before the green !AND you get your spot back !! SO , when Boespflug had flat left rear under last red we change the damn tire...
