*crosses fingers and waits for a somewhat-positive finish*

That reminds me...I must start my letter soon. (Don't think I forgot about what happened yesterday.)

The SK feature as I write this, is still underway!  But there has been absolutely every possible contact, and apparently the officials at one point completely lost control of the event.

...and the crowd definitely got their moneys worth and showed ther interest vocally and with inanimate obects.

The Waterford Speedbowl has been relatively without controversy of late, with the exception of the "NO beer night" debacle....Until tonight.

Seems like tonight's race was more of a Saturday night street fight without the fists. When a caution came out with 8 laps to go, I got a phone call to say that Curt Lenihan was self inflictedly stuck in the infield swamp after an unsuccessful attempt to run head on into Diego Monahan, after Diego running third took him out of the runner-up spot.  This was after TC had taken the lead from Lenihan by force.

It gets worse, or better, depending who you were rooting for.... and believe me all this reads as confusing as it looked at the track, they say.  And, whoever bought the speedy dry tonight is definitely in the red!

TC earlier in the race had shuffled Mooch around, and Mooch was ready to be lapped by Teddy, a caution came out for an unrelated incident, and Frank Mucciaciaro went relentlessly after TC to take him out, flatten his tire, or something of the sort.

Shawn Monahan apparently forced Gada to lose many spots as well,  and Gada eventually finished 2nd.

With three laps to go, TC leading and Yuhas second, Miller third.  Teddy and Yuhas side by side going down the front stetch, Yuhas almost has him and Teddy squeezes Yuhas into the wall....an unrelated caution comes out....

On the next restart, the same scenario, only this time Miller eventually takes TC out!

What a night, hopefully we can get get more eyewitness acounts of tonight's events, and remember that I am relaying this from a cell conversation!

After the SK feature, the pits appear littered with more bent tempers than frames although there are plenty of both.

The last word came from an unidentified old lady who referred to TC as "a pig" and "a piece of you know what"!

Sure wish I had been there to see all that....Sounds like a great one.

The Late Models are taking the track now.

Chris Corelle in Richard Brooks back-up car was leading with 2 to go, when Jeff Miller took him out of contention, taking him back many spots as well.

Mini Stock Top Four Finishers:

1. Bill Leonard


2. Kenneth Lyke


3. Richard Brooks


4. Dan Fields

And that brings tonight's WSB action to a close, and I am probably not the only one that is thankful. 

The checker had fallen, we will save you a seat in the stands for next week....

Holy crap...if I wanted chaos last night, I would have gone to the Speedbowl. That's for sure!
