Great start to the showdown season this weekend!
For those of you that weren't there, we decided to add a third round of qualifying. We did 1 and 1/2 rounds of qualifying Saturday night, and 1 and 1/2 rounds of qualifying Sunday. Everyone seemed to think it worked well. We were done before 9pm on Saturday, and were done racing by 5pm on Sunday. Even with over 100 entries!
We will plan to continue to have 3 rounds of qualifying for the rest of the showdown. This will guarantee everyone at least 4 races, and those that make A mains or bump up from lower mains will get 5 races!
In the rest of the races we will make the qualifying qual points using your best 2 out of 3 rounds.
The race of the night in my book was the B main of stock buggy. Elijah Gibbs, John Weathers, and Tony Bailey were locked in an epic 3 way battle. Each moved in and out of the bump spots, capitalizing on each others mistakes. Little did they know that Lance Norton was in creep mode, slowly catching up after a bad start. In the last minute of the race Tony and John made final fatal mistakes and Lance was able to overtake them for the final bump! Great race guys.
The vibe in the pits was great and it seemed like everyone was having a good time. Looking forward to the rest of the series...

Ryan and I had a great time and are psyched to do the rest of the series, except for Bremerton -- the new date didn't work for us. :-(
