It's limited to 60 cars and well worth running. Or just come by to watch.

I got to see the aftermath of one buggy engine. I shoulda shot a photo. A valve was bent and cocked sideways where the top was exiting through the exhaust. It was nuts. They went through 3 engines. A record for them.

Congrats, Randal. You kicked butt. Nice job, guys.

What was the course temp?

Didn't check, but air temp was high 80's both days. Maybe low 90's on Sunday PM. Mornings were cooler, but definitely shorts weather. Driving suits were HOT!

As for the asphalt, guessing that AM warmed up to over 100 degrees both days. PM temps were hot, in the +/- 130 degree range.

Hot enough that the properly installed professional patch material (tamped down) was getting pulled out by tires.

The Medford folks did a great job patching the entire 2+ miles. They did a ton of work.

The bump after turn 9 couldn't be fixed, but they had a big white line around it with "bump" written across.
