Wow what a weekend ! I gotta tell ya if you havn't been here you gotta try it , I've never seen a more accomidating group of people . The north of the border gang at Napierville Dragway work there butts off , not just the track personel but the local racers that have a love for stock - super/stock racing . Like alot of D-1 races this year we've had rain , I mean down pour / lightning ! These guy's do more with less . We lost power they hauled out a portable generator to get the tower and tree running , got the top end lights working by jumping them of the track truck , dried the track with no more than a leaf blower and finally had to run eight mile because of equipment failure due to lightning ,WOW ! They invited all the racers into the tower to explain why we had to rerun the intire first round not just tell us their going to do it but take the time to explain why . We got the final in with lightning in the air . This was grass roots racing at it's best . We need to support are north of the border brothers . Cudo's to a job well done .
THANKS !!
