Sometimes we find ourselves behind the 8 ball, but that is when the real go getters get going!
The main power pole that fed to virtually every corner of Bronson Motor Speedway fell last night, taking almost everything with it. In fact, the breaker boxes that control everything from the sound, lights, and concessions, were on that pole. Beginning very early this morning, crews from Jonesville Electric and Underground began working with Tony Parker and others putting things back together again. Despite the odds being against them, the power was back on and we had an excellent night of racing at Bronson!
The power struggles got us in some other ways, like the scoreboard not working and the problems with the front stretch lights, but that was just minor stuff. Despite a late start (we had zero power in the tower until after 7:30PM) we finished up a little after midnight and saw some really great action in between. The car count was not what everyone had hoped for, but it was sufficient and the racing was exciting. We also had an enthusiastic crowd in the grandstands that stayed late to see all of the action.
Thanks to Tony and his staff, plus the extra hard work by the guys from Jonesville Electric, Bronson was ROCKIN'!!!
And congrats to Michael Stalnaker on his win in the 50 lap, $1000 to win, Norm Hamel Memorial race! Also, congrats to James Peters on his Pure Stock victory, William Edwards for his win in the Sportsman division, Wade Parker for outlasting the Hornets, and Doug Hopper for beating the Outlaw Modifieds!
It gets better next week with the School Bus Figure 8's!
