I left before the rain hit really bad, and was kind of surprised they
got it done on Sun. I never expected all the 4.50's in T/F and the 70's
in F/C at that track, let alone the 4.48 @ 336.16. Wish I could have
seen it.

In 20+ years of attending the Springnats/whatever they called it later,
the track was never GREAT, and was only good like one time I can think
of and it got slippery before the day was over.

One of the best races I have been to in a long time. If I hadn't fallen
down and banged myself up, it would be in my top 3 or so of all time.
The 65 minutes between rounds worked pretty well. Force was lucky the
rain came after he took his ride into the dirt.

You guys didn't pay to get in ? I PAID, I STAYED, Actually they were still a
lot of people there to see it Umbrellas, Tarps, Plastic Pancho things, but I
don't think it hit anyone untill the annonucer went off about it. From where
I was it was just Damned Fast! +

Oh yeah, I paid, but I figured that in 30 years of national event
attendance, I think they actually finished it the same day like once, so
I took the three hours and made it home about the same time they started
running again.

For the life of me, I can't tell you what race it was where they did
run, but I remember it was miserable, standing under a racer's (alcohol
F/C) awning getting soaked due to the wind, and being very
uncomfortable. The sun came out and the jet dryer came out and soon they
were running again. And the track turned into a totally one lane track.

Now that I think about it, I think it was the Fallnationals in Seattle.
Lots of trees. That's the only track I was ever at that had all those
trees, I think..
