For the ones who could not be there. A cool night, nice crowd with 19 supers (Tidmore, Burns, Heit, R Johnson, Putnam, Seawright, Hickman, to name a few) and the typical one bottom lane track. On restarts, if don't luck out and do get put on the outside, you just might loose a spot because the guy on the inside has the advantage. Best time was 14.354 (38 Tidmore). Heat 1: 38, 27, 212, 17, 28, 393, 0. Winners: 38, 212, 393, 17, 27, 28,0. Number 27 stalled a second or two during the start and was flagged and put in the back with the outside row moved up. I did not see the flagman wave, but 27 should have started with 38 on the pole but did not and was punished. Strange rule for sure, put in the back? Not moved back a position nor a warning? Heat 2: 6D, 18, 91, 6, 44c, 26. Same finishes. Heat 3: 16, 1, r1, 110, 713, 38. Winners: 16, 1, r1, 38, 713, 110. Feature race: 38, 6D (RJ), 16, 212, 18, 1, 393, 91, r1, 17, 6, 38, 27, 44c, 713, 28, 26, 110, 0. Caution: 28 spun T2. Restart: 38, 16, 6D, 1, 212, 18, 393, etc. Caution on restart: 17 spins T3. Caution: 18 flat. Restart: 38, 16, 6D, 1, 212, 393, r1, 91, etc. Caution: 0 slows. Restart: 38, 16, 6D, 1, 212, 91, r1, 393, etc. Caution: 38 slows. Restart: same line up. Caution on restart: outside 1 front left spins into inside 212 right side and hangs up for a second and slows those two (position 4 and 5) saving 1 in T2 thus causing back up and 6 spins in T2. I think the finish was: 38, 6D, 16, 1, 91, 212, r1, ? [maybe 18 down a lap(s) due to flat], 393, 713, 44c, 27......I hope this gives a little in site.
