A great night of USAC racing. I noticed nobody posted the fact that all the USAC races were over by 9:20. And all those classes that everybody worried about finished at 10:45.
So congrats to all the LPS crew that ran a total of 5 classes.
For those who left almost half the crowd was still there for the final feature.
King of the Hill ? yes that was a disapointment. Gaines and Hollingsworth were added because the have LPS feature wins.
The money that was collected for driver votes was added to Jon Stanbrough's winnings, Winner take all.
Yes it could of been better but not bad for something that was a wild idea 2 weeks ago. Next time will be better sorry.
I was surprised that many of the USAC ISW points guys chose to go home instead of race. I saw something in racers that I thought I would never see. Packing up and going home. So much for the story about how racers would race for anything, anytime.
Also tonight showed that fans should not believe there phones radar. Some lighting to the north and not a drop. But it was close.
As far as the live feed tonight, USAC had their off road stuff up live. Dean taped and hoped to feed the feature at least but the stream was featuring something else.
Yes it was hot as hell for a while and USAC put the mods out first to bring the track in. Most seemed to think that was the right idea as single car quals were sweet. USAC even gave the guys a lap before the green. Normally it's green coming off of turn 4.
Car count most thought would be in the mid 30's so that was a surprise as well.
How about Dickie Gaines, 5th win at LPS this plus being USAC too. Good job by a low dollar team against the big boys !! Congrats!
Thanks to Jon Stanbrough & Brad & Steve Fox for being 'King of the Hill'
Bottom line is a good night of racing at LPS.
Thanks to all who came.
