    Well Well well, boy you missed a dandy race CIRF! And a spectator endurance test!
    Couldnt be happier that the 15 sputtered on fuel, I am NOT a fan of red flag fuel stops.
    They should all be big boys and take the midget fuel cells out of those cars.

    Home at 5:20 am as the sky was starting to lighten up. Wasnt so much sweaty dirty as just plain TIRED at that point! but happy!

      It has been a few years since I could endure these late nights. I cannot believe they got this race in. Thanks for those great photos Penn

        I'm 100% in agreement RifRaf, in regards to the midget tail tanks.

        Don't rub it in about how good a show it was!! LOL!! I feel bad enough I wasn't able to be there.

        Glad to hear you got to see a great show and that you are pleased with the outcome.

        Do you go to the 4 Crown Nationals? If so we might see ya' there.

            I totally agree with you guys about running tankers, especially for the Month of Money.

            Now I'm not saying the MoM needs fixed, it's fine as it is but bigger lap counts (for the fans!) for the bigger money would be a nice twist. A new set of crew chief notebooks being written is never a bad thing.

            Limaland and I-55 could do 75 or 100 lappers.

            Eldora, Lernerville (I'm not a fan of the current Silver Cup format), Williams Grove, Southern Iowa and Knoxville all run 50 laps without a fuel stop. If the Month of Money tracks increased the laps, it would justify the expense of a 33 gallon tank purchase. The real downside is most local teams that support their track can't afford the one-time use of a 1500.00, tank.

              Yes sir, I go out of my way to make it to Eldora for the winged portion of the 4 crown on friday.
              Saturday, for the non-wing, I am a fair weather fan. If things are clear then I usually have friends that camp there and I'll go hang with them and check out the non-wings.
              Hope to see ya there! But first... there is Iowa...

                We're just the opposite. We do the wingless portion of the 2 night 4 Crown show. Not because we have anything against the wings, however we do prefer the wingless to a certain degree, but we can leave home early Saturday morning, get to Eldora by around 11 AM, get our seats, go over to The Wagon Wheel in Burkettsville and get a bite and a beer and make our way back to Eldora in time to watch hot laps from the pits.

                We have taken the camper over for the 4 Crown but that sometimes can be too much of a rush so we get rooms back in Indiana since that's the direction we're heading home. 4 Crown is one of the 4 or 5 shows we anticipate the most all year and generally it's the end of the season for us.
