Well, it was more of the same from the car count/racing perspective, the track blacked over from top to bottom somewhere around the B Main for the Sprints. They were also running a special last night where you could take home as much the track surface as you wanted provided you carried it on your skin or in your lungs! Holy dust bowl it was something.
Dollansky made a helluva opening lap move on the high side in 1-2 to pass 6 cars up to second. Eventually he took first and it was over. Lots of racing all over the track as they searched frantically for grip.
Tony Stewart Racing and Kasey Kahne racing seem to be struggling a bit. Darrah was pretty quick and Kinser had some speed but other than that = they were not a factor.
Mods were OK, lots of action, but it wasnt super entertaining.
Great crowd, decent racing and good food.
MY PET PEEVE - I don't know why some people think that during an event that is obviously going to be butt to nut and cheek to cheek that they need to bring their friggin stadium chairs into the stands! WTF - We got to our seats last night to find the Minnesotan's in front of us with what looked like lawn chairs damn near touching our seats from the row in front. I decided to welcome them with a couple of knees to the ribs as I plopped my 6'4 240 lbs down behind them. Then I loudly said to them that wow their aint much leg room back here what with the lawn furniture up here and all. After much back and forth, i decided to be the bigger person figuratively as well and move over to the top of the stairway as they were open too.
RACETRACK OPERATORS - Please ban these damn things from your special events - or - make the stands big enough to accommodate them. Espcially the big square backed ones with armrests. Five Flags took a step in that direction, though not a complete ban.
Oh well, enough dirt for me until the Late Models arrive - up next is NSS - can't wait. Hope they dont lose any more in practice today.
