As far as car counts, you need to bring them. No non wing-big time sprints in Michigan. Will not even bring up Michigan based midgets. Also was the A.V.S.S racing Sat night? Only way to get a large number of cars would be to have them show up. But I think the 1st A.V.S.S. show this year at Berlin only had 16 cars.
Does anyone know what happen to Bobby East? Had the race in the bag till he slowed for a few seconds.
Having never been to Berlin Speedway, didn't know what to expect. We were greeted by a "Welcome to Berlin Speedway", very friendly track staff there.I thought the crowd was good, late arriving though.
Thought it was great they let the fans onto the track before the features. Saw alot of smiling faces on little ones, hopefully race fans in the future.
A bugler played the National Anthem, very nice touch. Did hear a couple of grumblings about sprint cars, but none of us? have ever grumbled about fendered cars have we
.
Great save by Levi Jones spinning on the front stretch, sliding through the grass and kept it going. They kept the show moving and we were out of there by ten.
Only racing in In. Il. & OH last night.Planned on Kokomo tonight but didn't happen.
Apparently FishBurger didn't win either. Oh wait, neither did I.
