I found it interesting how many local late models (that run ODLM for example) did not participate. Kudos to the driver from Wisconsin who made the long tow. I believe he won the lm race 5 yrs ago or so when it paid considerably more and UMP points were awarded.
I haven't been there for a few years but the place definitely has to get spruced up to attract the asphalt crowd from London who are used to good spectator amenities. Port a potties will scare the female side of racing families away for sure. New promoters this season seem to be going in the right direction (like booking an ODLM show). Time to bring the facilities into this century. Sponsors want to be wined and dined and not have to pick splinters out of their behinds all night. JMO
