The crowd arrived a bit earlier after the rain shortened race last Wednesday, but were thrilled with a fantastic night of racing. The wind kicked up some, but that did not stop the racers from a great show. The Fever Four class broke the barrier and held the first B main of the year which led Chris McIlveen and Ryan George into the A main event. The Road Runners 40 plus cars broke into their respective three classes and provided some great action on the track. Rounding out the night as the lightning strikes began in the mountains the Bump to Pass class put on a rock em sock em show as well for the cheering fans.
