Forgive me for being exhausted and not getting home until late Sunday. But here's my snapshot. A great day of La Villa chili, fun in the Naylor Midway and some great racing. Didn't see much racing as Wagsdash collections took up most of the day for me, but I saw the helmet exibition and know what was wrong and the Wagsdash was really excitng. Nothing could have been more exciting than Brandon Thomson coming out of his car after getting third place in the dash. Alan Ballard winning his 2nd Wagsdash was great. Keving Kierce's youthful enthusiasm was special. The whole day was great and thanks to so many! I really can't wait for the 17th annual.
