Thumbs Up-
-NOSA Points race brought down a dozen or so ND 410’s for the weekend. They also raced 20 miles west at Hartford the night before
-32 410’s, 21 IMCA sprints, 13 Late Model Street Stock, O other classes
-#23 Brandon Bosma won his IMCA heat. Is that his 1st at Husets?
-2d Dusty Ballenger finished 2nd behind Bosma using pure aggression.
-Greg Bakker in the DeWalle #16 410
-Shaun played a bunch of that “hippie music”. It was well into the 410 heats before I heard anything I recognized- The Immigrant song by Led Zeppelin. Later there were others, like Welcome to the Jolene, etc. I’m getting old.
-Billy Prouty won his 1st LMSS feature
-They have a hard charger award. Not sure who got it in the other classes, but Mike Moore got $100 for the IMCA sprints by picking up 8 positions
- The 50/50 pot was about $715(?), and I forgot to donate for the cause.
-Justin Henderson in the 410 feature was leavin’ on a jet plane! He ran up to 2nd in about a lap and was lapping cars by about the 4the lap. The guy was even fast scooting around like a water bug on the plowed field at the top of 3 & 4.
-I sat up high above the #1 turn. The sound system seems to work better there than at the other end.
-The pit microphone seems to be working now.
-I talked to a man wearing a vintage, red Husets wind breaker, the kind with the double checkered flags on it. He guessed it to be from about 1974.

Thumbs Down-
-The National Anthem, yes it’s a hard song to sing. It’s not a race. It’s good to be enthusiastic, but I know there’s specific music that was written for it.
-Josh Sterrett flipped in his IMCA sprint heat
-Cody Hansen bopped the wall in his 410 heat and pitched the #4 upside down
-Elliot Amdahl smoked the turn 3 wall in his 410 heat, then collided with Jack Dover. Both then flipped
-The road grader time trials ran way too long. At about 7 minutes per lap, that adds up.
-#12 in the 410 B-main launched a tire into the parking lot coming out of turn 4.
-JJ Ziebell spun in turn 2 from the front row of the LMSS feature on the first lap. It collected some cars, including 71Z Zach Olivier whose car was too damaged to continue.
-#23 Bosma spun out of 3rd place in the IMCA sprint feature. #6 Bailey Ballenger had nowhere to go and bopped into him. Both were done for the night
-On the first lap of the 410 A-main, front row starter #4 Matt Juhl spun in turn 2 in front of the field. I don’t understand why, but #35Skyler Pochaska who started next to him them flipped against the inside berm a couple hundred feet further down the track.
-#8 Jack Croaker and #22 Riley Goodno got together on lap 6 and flipped down the back chute. They were running about 5th & 6th (?) at the time.
-#47 Brant O’Banion and #11M Brenden Mullen then got together, with Mullen flipping
-11:00, I went home. 410 feature was about half over, but the alarm clock rings too early to be getting home too late. I see from results that Justin Henderson won. I don’t know if the track ate any more cars.
-Track prep seems to need some work.

This N That
-I had to call my son and get another lesson about how to paste from Word to Hoseheads. Geeze, Dad. Don't you remeber anything?...Actually, no.
-Why doesn’t the scoreboard match up to what’s on the track when the cars line up before a race?
-Is there no one named Mack racing in NOSA anymore?
-Restarts: sometimes a cone, sometimes not. At one point, the cone guy was getting ready to do his thing, but someone told him not to. It’s just as well, as it was a complete restart, and the cone would not have been welcomed.
-Why isn’t there a concrete barrier between the front chute and the people standing behind the barrier in turn #1? Last week, an IMCA sprinter made a sharp left turn into the front stretch inside wall at speed. If a car did that 50 yards down the track, it would be heading straight into those people and into a light pole.
-I think I’ve mentioned this before, but why not have some buckets of dry dirt stashed somewhere that can be dumped on fluids on the track? I don’t think throwing shovels of mud do much to absorb fluids.
-How 'bout the roving microphone guy in the pits doing some quick interviews during down time? For example, instead of watching the grader do laps, he could have gotten the oldest racrt there, Chuck McGilvrey, who's about 67(?) and Bailey Ballinger, who's about 16 and compared notes.
-Which drivers have T-shirts for sale?

It was a good night of racing. It would have been better with less crashes and an earlier finish time, but that’s the breaks.
 

What did you think of the races last night?

That opening in turn 1 is one of the dumber things I've seen safety-wise recently.

I watched on Dirt Vision last night..I actually laughed at the anthem singer..It was actually betther than some people sing it..There were lots of wrecks due to inexperience on the drivers but it is what it is..The super stocks or what ever they call them can go and race somewhere else..Not needed..Overall not a bad show but also slow to remove wrecks..Would have been a long ride home after 11:00 to Grand Forks..It can only get better..

Watched it on DV. All the comments above are true but I have take exception with the super stocks, in that area they bring a crowd. It's pretty fun live, full contact racing. Not what I want but I get it. 

I was happy with the sprint portion, yes, many wrecks but it was an early season race after rainy weather. It'll get better. Today's 305's are fun to watch, gives driver's an "affordable" class to learn in. I enjoy watching drivers come through the ranks, yep they crash sometimes. 

I've added Huset's on Sunday back on to my midwest trip plans, it is a fun place to watch a race. Hope it don't rain.

After the turn 4 tire leaving the joint, I looked around for the Full Moon, but notta. It was my fault that they lasted until 11

I stayed home last week and boom 1010 checkered for the night, nope not this week 11 because ole Jim went. O well we were on a good pace until the B for the 410s then all hell broke loose, from what I can tell some of the guys need to take a chill pill and realize they are at Huset's and not on I racing. This joint will eat you up and spit you out if you do not respect the ole girl. the sooner everyone realizes that the smoother the show will go. How about Jody Rosenboom getting a top 5 with a top wing all sorts of bent up. The quote of the night was by Justin Henderson when asked what i took to run the top side "marbles Big marbles. I will be back

shit after getting home after midnight I was still awake at 230 unwinding 6 am came real quick

To be fair, the Late Model Street Stocks are usually pretty racy and fun to watch. In the rest of the world they'd probably be called limited late models. At a small track like Husets, they usually run quick, tight races that don't drag. Last night's car-eating track was an exception.

Tell the truth, when the one car spun in his heat race and stacked up 4 of the other 5 cars, you chuckled-didn't you?

I did chuckle. Those cars kept the Rubin family afloat in the dusty days. It's great to see Husets back running with a competent owner.

I'll say this about the Rubins, they did a great job at Husets but somewhere along the way they lost the script. If they were as terrible as we all say, nobody would care about Husets. It seems to me that they got burned out or maybe were struggling to break even but from 1990 until 2005 or so it was a great track to catch a race and they were running it. They ran their course with the track and I have my gripes with them as well, but there was a time when it was a great show more often than not.

I have been hanging back watching on Dirtvision from up in Forest Lake, Minnesota.  It's around four hours down there but I like the three class program.  If they can manage to wrap it up by 9 or 9:30 I would consider driving down there for a few races.  Brooke lives near us here in Forest Lake so we'd have a favorite to cheer for.  Our nearest track is Cedar Lake but they run four or five classes of Stock Cars and Modifieds with the Sprints.  Too much to sit through for fifteen or twenty minutes of Sprint Cars.

I've watched a lot of dirt track racing recently on flo and DV (I think a lot of folks have).   I love the super stock classes, they usually have the very best all-in racing and many of those guys and gals are truly talented, it might be my fav class...really.   BTW, Husets is a cool place to hangout on a Sunday evening.

I thought for sure with 30% of rain, cloudy and rain all around the area they would ease up on the water, but nope. Sloppy mess, come on man. I was standing by the back gate after the races and I seen a lot of messed up wings and wrecked cars being hauled out. Spendy night for many teams. Street stock heats were follow the leader and when the leader spins on a narrow track so do all the other cars. Henderson drove his ass off and really wanted to win and proved it. Hopefully they will ease up on the water and the grader BS. Maybe Rubins could advide them a little on track prep. lol

Actually 70% chance of rain, with that said... you don't water the track, anyway another great car count and great night of racing!
