      Pretty good track after they reworked it. This is usually the only trip I make to atomic each year but it seems to be it may be time for a resurface job. dirt seems rather sandy and has a time cleaning up. I like the facility and they seem to do a good job but I agree those bleachers need some work.

        It was so dusty during the heat races that a farmer behind me tried to plant a row of corn on my shoulders. My last trip to Atomic

            Eventually, you will have nowhere to go. With the weather we have had, I was impressed.

Day and a half or so later he sets fast time, wins his heat race and runs a flawless feature for the win. Just goes to show how good he really is.
              Not sayn this is true but keep in mind that could have been a car they were working on and labeled it what they wanted. JS

                    SS they finished that car in the early am hours Friday morning. Swapped motors, new drive shaft, and right side door and had to sticker it. I promise you those guys work their a$$es off. What help Scott has is a great group but could use a couple more. Hope they are are as good tonight as they were last night

                      SS I had clear goggles on and could only see the cars maybe half a lap of each heat race. They kept moving lower and lower to a point of the track that was dry dirt. I sat on the end of the frontstretch coming off of 4 and the air from the cars sucked it right in my face. Half that section cleared out until the feature. The track did a smart thing and had the surface pretty good in the feature

                        I never got a spec of dust on me, and I was sitting in turn 1. I never sit in the sections in 3 & 4 for that reason. Perhaps you should a better seat instead of sitting with the wind in your face.

                          OK Where to start ?
                          I think the 4th heat was as good as any feature,if I only could have seen it.
                          Who are we to say this or that about track prep??
                          I think he could have watered it and kept the dust down from hot laps to heats, but
                          I also think that if he had the track would've come apart and been as rough as possible.
                          I for one am just glad that I have had the chance to see a couple races so far this year.
                          It's been a long off season for me.
                          Like they have already said Bloomer had them covered all night.

                          parked in the handicap parking and their personal car parked there two.!!!! )

                          Thank you to all the Atomic crew.
                          I'll see you again soon.

                            May b you should do more thinking on your seating area.
