Looks like they are almost on the endangered species list, big props to them though for showing up and keeping it alive.

I think about half of the field broke in qualifying rounds.

Gary declined when there were only 4 cars showing up, but I believe he's walking around in the pits

There were 5 that showed up and raced. I think 2 backed out, and then 1 got here and decided to race 10.0 index. We broke 2 axles, sensor to boost controller and fuel check valve all on 1 pass last night, Johnny bent valves last night, and Dr Marv broke something in the tranny. We were the only ones able to make repairs to finish the event. We had a personal best of 149 mph on gas only. What a great weekend.

The event was awesome great to be out there. It is to bad the rest of the boys didn't show up. To bad I bent some valves, should have tried to fix it but it is over. Was great.

That blue hatch is the one that decided to run 10 index instead of hot rod. I guess he screwed himself with an 8.66 in a 10.0 inex class.

Isn't that the same car that caught fire at the end of the track, a few years ago at E town?
