As we were heading to the bleachers we ran into Matt Huddleston's grandparents Pam and Jerry Huddleston... always nice to talk with them.....
Then ran into Jeff Greenwood and he pointed out where his family were sitting so I went to say hi ..... they are always a freindly group to talk with....
Went up and sit with Dennis and Connie Griffith and soon Gennie, Nicole and Jenna joined us....

caution comes out for Duvall...
the #98 brings out caution...
Gouldan gets around Anderson..... then Schwartz gets around him.....#21 just passed for the lead when a caution came out putting them back in a double line restart....

caution came out for a crash between Bradham and the T2 in turn 4...
18 laps down and 12 to go
Larry Anderson had been racing tough and holding his own in 5th spot when with a little help from I believe the #20 he went over the burm and was turned around.... he pulled off the track.... too bad.... he was looking really good....
22 laps in the books....8 to go....
down to 15 cars............
front row is now Schwartz and Harrison with Leka and Seets in second row...then Crawley and Fox who had both came to feature thru a consi..then Gouldan and Boylard..then T2 and Penny, #98 and Despain..then Lach and Bradham and on tail the #20 of Cody Clark...
On the restart it looked like Denny Schwartz didn't get took off quck enough causing the cars to bunch up resulting in him and Jeff Leka crashing in front of the grandstands.......Denny got out of his car right away and was not a very happy camper.... Jeff stayed in his car til I think they checked his car and seen he had a broken spring..then he got out of his car....after a period of time they finally decided to pull the cars off the track.......

Very interesting night.... need to learn more about the rules of AMS......
....................
I do not like the flagman in the center of the field... he is hard to see and was very late on calling a lot of the cautions.... I dont think he can see very good from there.... and I know it is hard to see him from the grandstands...
The speakers in the grandstands are terrible.... you cant hear the announcer at all...
Was glad they got the race in..... it sure did feel like rain would be on us at any time...but it went north of us thank goodness...
Lot of very fast cars out there tonight... every heat and consi was as tough as the features.... lot of very hard driving....
...........
sorry ... I didnt keep track of the other classes.... I dont know many of the drivers...
