As the race sheet will show, things were very interesting the last heat.

Jeff Strause and Lee Verdich move into the D Main.

Was OK for me. Went off the air after the race ended.

 

Would have liked to see a separate shot of the monitor so we could follow the race better. But was still cool to watch the race without being there. Thanks Mike.

I shut it down within about a minute of the A Main ending, when I started ringing up customers.

In the B Main, Jerry Galloway, with his wild, selfmade, chassis, ran an incredible B winning total of 305, to take the win.

He also ran a spectacular 4.403 race lap.

Noose, finishing on red, held off a hard charging Chris Radisich, to make the last move-up to the A Main.

The A Main started real clean, with five racers within 1 lap, after 3 heats.

Howie and Matt eventually edged away a bit.

Going into the last heat, Howie and Matt were on the same lap, with Raisin and I, both two back.

Howie and Matt blazed away, on green and orange, while Raisin and I fought for third, on white and black.

Starting about 3/4 of a lap back, Matt reeled in Howie, to within about 10 feet, but came off in the Donut to give Howie enough breathing room to take the win.

I ran an OK 37 on black, but no match for Raisin, who added his fifth 38 lap heat, to go along with three 39s. It was his turn to take the last podium spot on Sunday, after I edged him out last year for it.

Along with a record 311 laps, Howie also edged out Jerry's B Main race lap time, for a new record, with a 4.395.

I ran more laps than I did when I won Sano 8 and finished 8th. LOL. Hell of a trip from the C Main.

I was just looking over the stats for the A main, what a run! Nobody had a bad race. of the 64 total heats run only 4 were below 37 laps, three 36's and one 35.
