Another Haubstadt instant classic. It was great to see this field stacked with the best. 4 of the top 6 in usac national points were in action (Levi,Jon, Ballou, and Hunter%). Other heavy hitters included Short, Riggs, Fitzpatrick, Stockon, and many more. Wes Mac looked really good leading the first half of the race. It was good to see Hud back in action. Riggs was fun to watch coming from deep(due to the flip in the heat). I'd say the lead switched a couple times in just the last turn. Fitzy threw a slider to take the lead going into 3 and Levi held the high line to take back the win out of 4. It just doesn't get any better than that. As good as the TSS ISW race was this one was 10x better. Only down side was the crowd seemed a little slim for such a great event. Anyways, these are the type of races you get when you prep a track like tommy does.

I don't think anyone was sitting in their seat for that finish. Wow! Im still waiting for Jerry Shaw to give everyone the story on this one. Did anyone notice the charge Riggs had coming from the tale? Was he ever hooked up. Look for him to win another at TSS before the year is up. Several really fast guys tonight, but Riggs was as fast as anyone on the track. He had passed half the field when the first yellow came out and why on the restart he was put so far back is beyond me. Maybe he cut some tires and I didnt see it. Gr8 nite of racing and the fair down the road may be the reason for not a larger crowd.

When we were sitting in a parking lot along U.S. Rt. 41 at 4:30 waiting out the monsoon, I wouldn't have given this race a snowball's chance in you know where of happening. But Mother Nature finally played nice for once. Boy, did we all luck out, as we got to see an instant classic.
But perhaps the real winners in this deal were the folks helped by the $1100 raised for Easter Seals. Great job everyone. |

![]() Not meaning to be a buzzkill in light of all the talk about how epic the sprint feature was, but they had a nice field of cars in the mod division last evening. Just a shame they couldn't put on a better show, it's not like they didn't have a decent track to run on. |
