Great race!! It was a blast having a huge crowd watching. They were 2-3 deep all around the retaining fence and cheering through the entire racing action.

Carlton was told by the Homestead reps. we we the largest crowd draw outside the grandstands- great exposure for all of us.

Tire wear for everyone was a challenge with 10 minute heats- we cut the warmups from 4 minutes to 2 minutes. I've never run triple A mains, but that was fun as well. My tire bill nearly beat the cost of my airfare, but it was worth it

There was a great deal of courteousy on the part of all racers. I already plan on making the show next year Lets have a larger racer turnout.

Thanks to Art Carbonnell for the set-up advice on the 1/8th and to some new friends made while swapping pitting duties- Thomas, Mike C., Mike W. and Denise C.
