- Constructed over
the winter, the bridge, also known as Woody, makes for a much safer track
environment as well as a good viewing location.
- Woody also makes
a good location to heckle the racers, but no spitting please.
- Blair Hobgood,
a.k.a. "Frodo", is batting a thousand after two nights of racing.
- Marc "the Axe"
Mullinax in real life is a mild mannered college professor, but hopes
to end Blair's dominance.
- Recently joined
in matrimony, Don Lux and Nancy Daigler hook up on the track as well.
- The Taxman Herb
Young checks in with a smile before the first race of the evening.
- Shawn Smith
in his first few track races is quickly learning the fast way around the speedway.
- The race of the
night was the B field Miss-n-Out. The Master's 150+ combine of Kamm, McMillan
and Smith put on a show from the start and schooled young 'uns from the front.
Jim McMillan took top honors.
- A shot from April
27. Richard Dunn checks the front of the 60 lap road bike points race
as, up the road, team-mate Kent Willams tries for a lap on the 491 meter oval.
- Ensuring that
the little diesel is brought up properly, track regular George Riedesel
plans to make sure his son can spot a foul or sprinter's lane violation from
a distance.
