Has that race out grown Benton ? Or is that why everyone loves it? Homegrown mom and pop track feel? Scott is a great owner and Luke is a great promoter a real hustler and the car count proves it!

Has that race out grown Benton ? Or is that why everyone loves it? Homegrown mom and pop track feel? Scott is a great owner and Luke is a great promoter a real hustler and the car count proves it! Personal observations: First of all, we had a really good time. We were parked right at the finish line next to friends and it was great seeing many racers I hadn't seen in a very long time. This was the first time out for us since Joan's heart surgery so the driver was a bit rusty and it took us most of the weekend to get a rythmn back, including trying to figure out the funky water box. We got there Thursday night and when I walked the track I was amazed it would hold traction at all - in spots it looked like a cobblestone street at Lacledes Landing, but somehow the track did hook well. Also, (and I suppose this is common at many unsanctioned tracks) safety seemed like just a word in the dictionary. Not once did I see any on-site medical personnel and what was left of the chain link fences along side of the track couldn't have been any more than 30 feet away from the track. You just had to hope no one was hopping the beat up old guard rail. I want to reaffirm what a great show it was; well planned and executed considering the amount of cars. I wouldn't be surprised they take advanced registration next year with maybe even a limit of entries. You could not have stuffed another car and trailer in the place - it was a parking zoo! Finally - loved the morning breakfast cart...can't remember the last time I had a jelly donut! |
