open wheel modified race

thanks for having us was a great show . 100 laps of real racing . track officials done great job and ever one that put on the show did a great job

any one that missed this race missed a good race . i can't believe there was not at least 100 modifieds entered with a chance to win 10.900 .00 for 100 laps

i do wish next time that maybe they could take mirrows out of cars . that would have made for little better race cause if real modified is racing against a overnight converted 3000lb sportsman car with two semi mirrows in it and he is spending more time looking in mirrow than were he is going running 15 seconds it bunches up other cars and if they pass him and he comes down on them and they have go to rear he gets his spot back . that aint right other than that good race and for young man that had never ran on asphalt and had never drove a modified till saturday finished 7 behind cooper and other drivers you did great job young man ever body did good job in fact there was not one driver out there that was not a champion even mirrow boy
