Another Sprint Week Gone By

It seems like yesterday that I couldn't wait for Sprint Week to start, and here I am, back at home and it is behind me. I have to say that Penny and I had a great time. Coming up and seeing friends, as well as making new ones is just as important as enjoying the racing. There are too many folks to thank for their kindness, and I apologize for taking off from Haubstadt without saying too many good byes. There is much to do after a race, and I have to get an early start on the road for the long drive home.

I hope everyone enjoys my pictures. I got lucky a couple of times and there are some that aren't too blurry. I can tell you that I enjoy taking them and taking in the race from the infield vantage point more than anything that I can think of doing with my clothes on. Oh, hey. Uh, never mind.

The plan is to be back again in May.

I just got home an hour ago and I agree. I had a great time for the most part. I met more IOW's this trip than ever before. Great to meet some of you. Great race @ Brownstown, but the next night just sucked. I had been looking forward to Bloomington so much only to be big time disappointed. Tri-State was worth the 3 hour ride from Indy (one way) What a cool track that was. (and it was my 216th track) Looks like I may be back next year as a buddy along with his dad and son may go out.

Later, JERSEY

Was great meeting you Jersey.

Bloomington is almost always two solid grooves and I for the life of me can't figure out why it isn't for SW, Just look at Jackslash vids theres almost always several two wide battles going on, often for the lead.

In all fairness, there were multiple grooves. None of them were very fast until the last few laps when the track really started to take some rubber. THEN it was one fast groove. Hey, if that is the worst, it is still better than what we get on the track down here, as far as depth of racing talent.
