Glen,

Amen..I watched it all..they did great!

Congrats to all the racers and great to see Jr win on the bike, Antron for the dragster, and what a great win for Ken Black in PS...both cars in the final.  Was hoping Jason would get the win at Indy (his first if he would have done it)... and again JFR wins the final in FC.  Would have been great to see Capps get a win however.

Also cool to see Dixon Sr sit in his old car as well, I went to school with Larry Jr so I am always routing for him..

Awesome racing was watched for sure..

I loved the HD super slow mo of Miliken grenading at half track during qualifying. A rod cap with one bolt came sailing out of the fire and corruption. TV has come a long way since the magneto RFI would make the camera go all squiggly.

 also enjoyed the races.  By doing the long hours they did, we didn't miss any of the "good" stuff going on.  Good job N.H.R.A

 And ROUMERS have it, Stan  will be racing this coming Sunday to boost his clubs points totals in a class he's over fifty miles off the record.

There's more to LandRacing than some folks narrow worlds.

And NOT by putting his number on somebody else's machine!
