Message: [QUOTE="JustbrewitMan, post: 3989875, member: 7806"] I just watched the race last night on CBS SportsNetwork. Great TV production quality, great job by all the organizers (both Stafford & the SRX series folks). The place was packed and rocking! Reminded me of going there with my dad as a young kid to watch the Spring Sizzler. The racing quality was really good...pretty evenly-matched cars, and there was some nice battling for the lead. SRX folks clearly had thought out scenarios to maximize entertainment value. Having a backup car to use for the main event in case of terminal mechanical failures and having worn tires to approximate tire wear for the competing cars was forward-thinking and was put to use (Greg Biffle switched to the backup car). Knowing the track well was clearly important, as Doug Coby (local Modified hotshoe for years) was the class of the field, but he also couldn't pull away due to balanced cars and occasional cautions to bunch the field back up. I've watched enough races there to know what the fastest way around the track is & the best way to execute passes...it's "diamonding the corners" fwiw. Coby was doing it to perfection all night...it seemed the rest of the drivers either weren't paying attention to his lines or they couldn't figure out the exact timing to make it happen right. All the legends at that track (Teddy Christopher, etc.) know the secret. Anyhow, kudos to everyone...I'll likely record this series and watch them here n there when bored. Just as good use of time as casual 'yardin about stuffing wire into junction boxes! [/QUOTE]
