Blink,blink,blink.Toby,any idea what the reasoning is behind the race being completed at
three different venues?It doesn't register in my old brain cells.

They called all the drivers still in competition to the tower and asked them where they wanted to run and they voted on it. Fletcher has a plane to catch so he didn't want to run tomorrow and I guess he got enough comp racers to agree with him to run it at the finals.

Most of the super stock racers that were left have to work tomorrow and didn't want to finish it tomorrow. Probably the same deal with top sportsman and motorcycle.

The rest of the classes voted to run it here tomorrow. Whatever the majority wanted to do.

For the record, once the rain stopped and the track was dried yesterday, the remaining daylight time was utilized to the maximum advantage. The racers were in the lanes on time, pairing was completed with a minimum of fuss, the starting line was excellent, and, at the end of the day, the surviving racers were given some opportunity for input. Had the accident during the second round of S/C not occurred, I think that a couple more categories would have gotten in another round. Even the West Coast Rulebook avoided throwing us any unexpected curves.

Thanks to Jeg's for helping provide us this opportunity.

The Division 7 crew and the Fontana track management, are to be congratulated for their efforts.

Congratulations, Jeff Jerome! Great job this weekend!

Thanks to all of you for your kind words about the videos. That's pretty much all I do it for. It's much appreciated. Hope you all enjoyed the coverage. I will get the rest of the rounds of super stock for this race at Bakersfield. They are supposed to run it on Friday.

See you in Bakersfield!

It still says processing on the final video. It's been like that for 15 minutes. I thought I would just post it anyway. Hopefully it will be done soon.
