First they interview Saldana, nothing, then they interview Meyers, nothing, then they interview Kinser, nothing, then they interview Schatz, and finally at least something,not what we wanted to hear but at least he mentiond "we lost a great driver yesterday",etc. Then Doty and the other guy started talking and they said nothing, but then finally, the network did have a couple drivers talk about Hockett.

Neatest thing to hear before rain put a lid on her was about Jason Sides and a friend traveling around the country doing all this one their own-----two guys, now that's sort of like real outlaw racing. I'm sure the networks cringed a little when Paul McMahon said, if we get going, the racing will be one groove all around the track---not what the network would have wanted to hear. Good to hear Schatz take the high road and not spend his talk-time talking about running into cars and blowing tires (ala Meyers). Though Schatz did mention four DNFs, though the average fan watching this on TV doesn't know the difference between DNFs and DNAs. Hope tonight's show is great, as great as the show at River Cities Speedway in Grand Forks,ND last night. The streets, midwest mods, unlimited latemodels and 410 outlaw sprints put on fantastic shows, what with grip up the ying yang after 4 to 5 inches of rain the previous few days. You all know what its like to see sprints having a difficult time keeping the front end on the ground every time they hit the loud pedal.

The RRV speedway in West Fargo had computer problems with setting up lineups after cautions, which caused the program to go past midnight, also lap counter not up, but Danny Schatz had to be very happy to see on a Wed nite, the main grandstand nearly packed and a few people in the other two 1500 seat bleachers as well. The track was a little rough, but I think in a few weeks, this will be a Class A show. And with Moorhead,MN, West Fargo and Fargo and the other smaller communities, don't think Wed night will hurt (I go to church on Sunday) the take, especially when you have nearly 200,000 people within 10 miles. On the plus, Grand Forks picked up a few needed late models and mid west mods for their Fri show---from the now defunct Fargo Fri show. Fargo could be a homerun for that track, fair managment help or hinderance or not.


Adding $6 trillion of debt in his 1st term and now if 
elected again he wouldn't have to worry about an 
electorate in 2016 so the sky is the limit.And his EPA 
would continue to put the screws to oil drilling and 
mining for coal.Can you say bankruptcy.

franksphoto must have been taking a siesta in the dark room because: "First they interview Saldana, nothing, then they interview Meyers, nothing, then they interview Kinser, nothing, then they interview Schatz, and finally at least something,not what we wanted to hear but at least he mentiond "we lost a great driver yesterday",etc.

In that same paragraph I wrote: "finally, (after about 15 minutes) the network did have drivers talk about Hockett ".

Don't know what the hell you could have been watching. Wake up!

I didn't see it last night (Friday night), but I guess they had a Hockett tribute... and then showed last year's race (since it was rained out). So I think Frank knows what's up..

Jeff24..... You may need to chill out a bit! They mentioned Hockett quite a bit last night! And they did a "missing man 4 wide salute" tonight.
