I really enjoyed the race this year. As others have said, it was a smaller field, but the racing was really good in every class.

What's the date I posted got to do with it? I wasn't on these forums back then, but hey I guess I should have just known, just to appease you? Even in 10 months, you couldn't correct it yourself.
