only 36 cars have something to do with the only $300 to start a 200 lap race? tire bill alone would be almost $2000

Race started at 6, was scheduled to start at 230. There was a rain delay, but was not a 3 1/2 hour rain delay. Show dragged along. Don't ask me for any highlights of the day.

The highlights were it did eventually end and I got to hang out with Teddy. And there's always next year! Oh, and watching Bruce Putney finally win the RoC and with his son as the driver, no less. And watching Tony Hirschman finish third in his only race of the year AND admitting he wants to race more next year! Not bad after all, but can always be better. And knowing that a minor part failed on the DeLange #45, but until then we were untouchable. Not a bad weekend at all! And hanging out a bit with my only true idol, Dutch Hoag. How much better can it get? And I know I've left out a few things due to exhaustion.

Boy, for only two divisions, they sure knew how to drag a show out.
They had a close to an hour between the end of the mod heats and street stock feature (most of it because of the modified drivers meeting - why didn't they have that during the rain delay?) and then over an hour gap after the street stock race (which had a half hour red flag on the first lap).
Considering it was a Sunday, you'd think the track would be a little more on the ball.
Had a good time, though. It was my first time there. Couldn't believe how much the boiler plate wall moved when those two street stocks wrecked on the first lap. Definitely a good thing otherwise they both would've been leaving in ambulances.

Oswego's racing surface is done. This is what happens to a track that has been negleted for over twenty years. Someone needs to put some money into that place and there is no outside grove at all. No passes for the lead under any of the green flag runs.

Run the race @ Loudon in October after the World Series at Thompson. Make it 250 laps with a $200,000 purse. Bring back the real ROC, if it can be done.
