The track was really cool! Compliments to all who did the work to make this event fun. Racing under the lights was cool too. I always heard good things about the Rock Pile but couldnt race it as we have church related things on Sunday and race Saturdays. Thanks for giving me the opportunity to see that all I heard was true. I hope you do this again! Chuck

Racing at the rockpile at night was a real treat. The dirt stayed so nice and I hardly needed to clean my car after the main (haven't looked at it in the daylight..). I think one thing we learned is that this is a great option, assuming costs weren't too high, for one day big races. We're always worried about finishing the program/cutting out rounds, this could be a solution to that.

Could somebody post results? The sheets went missing before I got a look at them.

Thanks again to Brian and Marcca, it's really great to have such a nice place to race.

I know me and old nine fingers had a great time. Thanks for the club's hard work for putting this on. Even though it was the B main it was one of the closest races I ve been a part of to the finish for the bump. I'm not sure of the guy's name that was taking pic's but I was sneaking a peek on his screen as he was taking them and I'm very excited to see his work so if anyone knows him please get him to post a link. I know boomer was there also but the other guy is who I'm reffering to. Thanks again marrca members

What a great time under the lights. Mr. Gilley is correct in stating that the Buggy B-Main was close close close. Here is a link to the complete B-Main.

Scotty Ernst took the win, and Mike Czech in second, but Gilley had his shot until the final few corners. While up on the stand waiting for the start of this race, I overheard Scotty tell his daughter the car didn't feel right and something was wrong - could have fooled us.
A huge thanks to Brian for allowing us to do this, the guys who helped in all aspects, and for those who attended and raced.
Even though I only made the D-Main, it was educational to see the A-Main guys run laps.
