London Pro Am

We went to London because Mike is running Division 3. First of all let me say I feel very sorry for the track owner as I know he took a beating this weekend. I think car count was down for many reasons

1. busy time of year...we are skipping Atlanta points meet because that will be 5 weeks in a row for us.
2. Friday/Saturday...I personally like it because we have Sunday to drive home but makes things difficult for work reasons.
3. weather...we ALMOST did not go because it was a 7 hour drive.
4. Derby weekend...big deal in KY and it was taking place less than an hour away.

have the race next year when racing in the South is slow....July and August are yes very hot, but schedule is much lighter during those months.

I will also add that I heard VERY bad things about the track prior to attending which were not exactly true. Yes the track was down a narrow,curvy road but parking was good and there would have been room for many, many more cars. Stands were nice, concessions stand was good, I have been told bathrooms were clean....and Saturday morning they worked on the track and Saturdays race was much better than Fridays (speaking of the track) We will support the race again (if they have it)
