Went for the first time in quite a few years. My grandson is 12 and I wanted him to have the experience of seeing, feeling, and smelling the fuel cars run. Ya know, somebody should invent a gas additive that would make the exhaust smell like nitro. Maybe an air freshener that smells like nitro?
Kinda neat watching Garlits race again. He was running in Stock Eliminator with an '09 Challenger.
I gotta admit that the 'Al-Anabi' race team from Qatar bothers me a little. Jeez, that guy seems to have bought in to a lot of race teams, pro and sportsman. I know it's tough to get sponsors and race so I guess you can't blame the racers.
What happened to the Mopar Performance Road Show??!!!! I walked around to see if they were somewhere obscure but they were nowhere. Man, I was really disappointed. To me, that was kinda like a kid walking into the FAO Schwartz toy store. On the same subject, the entire vendor midway was really small compared to the last time I went.
On the plus side, I gotta give Englishtown a 'thumbs up'. That track really tends to the details. The food was good, the rest rooms were clean, the track surface was good, they had people going around cleaning up trash constantly, and everyone was friendly. A really nice race track.
Sure missed seeing the Mopar display though.
 
I watched it today... some VERY close wins, quite a few holeshot wins ! ...not that crazy about the Al-Anabi team myself, but it is what it is... $$$$ talks ! ..

Now that's a great idea!

Maybe they would trade a ride in those Dodges for a ride in the Plymouth ?

So nice to hear someone give E-Town some props for a change! Thank you!
