The second round of class was most of what I said, shutting off early. Some of these cars are going to get hp because they went to fast early in the day, so why they are shutting off now. I'm not in the position to get hp so I am not judging their decision, I just would like to understand why. I think there was two races that the drivers ran it out.

Daren, nice to have met you to, always good to put a face with a name.

B Aceves, yup, rules are rules.

Dave, again with the funny stuff.

Here are some more pictures of the track and Grace and Bill Howell's stk and ss. The picture of the track equipment prepping the track is being done on one side while the sportsman race on the other side.

I'm kind of burnt out. I will have more tomorrow after I get some rest.

I enjoyed meeting you today. And thanks again for the Forum.

Good Luck,

Daren

Kenny, if you get the time, go to the finish line at the right side of the track. Look across the track and look at the block wall on the left side of the track. Count the rows of block. Now go to the starting line and count the rows of block. The wall IS level. That track must go down hill at least 8 or 9 feet! You didn't expect Bruton to have a slow track, did you?

Its started to sprinkle again, we are on hold. I watch the pro stock bikes run, four wide is something to see. The perspective from the racers watching are from kind of neat to its a side show, I thinks its cool, and I was surprised to see how many sportsman were watching.

Does no one realize that not only can you tell at the track that the cars are putting on brakes before the finish line, but the whole race community is looking at the live times and you can see that the numbers don't add up. I guess I just don't understand racing ain't to the finish line flat out.
