The weather was perfect...the racing was outstanding...the cars were gorgeous...we just needed a few more! Thanks to everyone for putting up with a novice at Class announcing this past weekend. I enjoyed all of the racing, and the Dave Layer Memorial Quick 32 CIC race is truly one of the coolest races I've ever announced! Congrats to you, Mike, and all of the other winners and money collectors over the weekend! Thanks of course to the Beards and the Waltons for trusting me with this race, and to the National Trails and the All Star crews that helped make the race great! A few

observations:
1. The turbo 4 Fords are going to rule the world at Indy.
2. I've gotten spoiled announcing 1/8 mile bracket racing. The was often an awkward (to me) pause as I waited for everyone to reach the 1/4 mile finish line.
3. The best looking car there, bar none, was Ray Barnhart's 60 Chevy NSS car. I'm a Mopar guy and I wanted that Chevy bad.

4. The stray dog that was running around the pits Thursday through Saturday was lured in with food (he was VERY skittish) and caught. They took him to a vet and found out he was chipped, and belonged to someone from Albuquerque NM!
