That was some seriously great racing.. And I have to say, standing on the rail next to Gary Nixon was pretty awesome!
Bryan Smith was the fastest on the track the whole day.. There was no real doubt in my mind that he'd be in the top 3 at the line.
The old man, Chris Carr was no slouch though. He battled Bryan right down to the line. He was very fast.
It was also a lot of fun watching Steve Bonsey running the cushion all night. Thru 1 & 2 he was almost all the way out to the hay bales.
The was indeed a young man throwing a duc around the track quite nicely during the run up to the racing.. I'm thinking he's the same guy that's going to be tossing a different duc around a little bigger place today.
As for the other duc that actually raced.. I think he was about 4th or 5th, which is a very good showing.
All in all it was a great nite of racing at the old mile. Only one guy had to be transported out, due to a very hard get off (hit the outside wall coming out of 2).. a few other get offs, but nothing serious.
You could have thrown a blanket over the top 4 in the Pro Singles class. It was elbow to elbow at 110 for the full race.
Makes a guy reconsider his whole life. ;)
That's Gary Nixon below in the hat, and the fat guy is my buddy Charlie Williams. (Trail Rider Charlie to all you woods fans)
