Went to Paragon tonight, the new stands are nice. Racing in the heats was a little concerning as the track became huggy pole rather quickly. However, by feature time, with some quick track prep, the racing was excellent with cars able to run the top and bottom. It was a tough night for Scott, spun in his heat and had to run the B. Spun early in the feature but came all the way from the tail to fifth. There was a good battle up front between Adams and KTJ. TMez was charging early but spun early and then wasn’t going anywhere at the tail before a second spin. Paragon has some good things going on and hope they continue it. Only complaint, running 2 B mains in 2 classes when the number of cars didn’t warrant that.

Amen on the new Paragon! Lots of improvements. New stands are very comfortable, new light towers make the track much brighter, and new speakers which sounded great! Very enjoyable night of racing minus the huggy pole and caution laps. Was a little disappointed they didn't go into more of a hurry up mode when the lightning started flashing. But it all worked out. 🏁

Track moisture - I made that same comment to our group. Instead of getting dusty, the moisture came back up through the dirt. Exactly what everyone wanted. The track surface seemed more moist and smoother than last year, too.
