We were there last night. Very bizarre situation. I give a lot of credit to Budd's Creek and the IHRA for handling the situation as well as they did. The racing wasn't as important as these two human lives that were in potential danger, so we had an hour delay before qualifying started. They took the whole medical staff to the hospital so we had to wait. They got some of their staff back from the hospital but not their "top" staff docs, so they waited until they had their ENTIRE staff back on property before the racing resumed. Great job MIR and IHRA!!!

Glad to hear these tracks have the safety of the fans and racers in control. I hope both parties are doing good.
