Noticed the last 2 or 3 ? races that Blake Alexander is at the starting line with Hunter Green's Pronto team. Guess he got demoted from driving but he does have some tuning skills. Matt Bynum laid down a #3 in Q4, that team is going to be fun to watch the rest of the year.
Are you saying that Matt Bynum is the Crew Chief for Hunter Green?

I think Blake has been at every race since his incident. I'm guess Pronto grounded him until he gets his legal problems taken care of.

Yeah, I really like Doug and AJ. I’ll never bet against them, esp. with them ripping off 3.65s all the time. And even though they did beat Clay, I still am happy for Doug.

- clay finally gets past justin on a sunday. great weekend for parts plus team.
- that kalitta team is on a roll, at least the dragsters. the team to beat right now.
- friday was just plain hot, and humid. so hot that the shade of campground won out over some of the Q2 nitro runs. it was brutal.
- track seemed very good all weekend, but not great for some reason. Q3 was good, but the track was cool and so was temp. was expecing more, didn't get it.
- leverich family TF'r had a great showing. nice and clean respectable passes. in next breathe i would say ida did not. trying to build that team, but
there's something there they just can't figure out. IMO they should run much better than they do; i'll say the same for josh hart.
- not sure what happened to jr todd in final. those guys were on it the first three rounds yesterday.
- sucks when ron capps loses. even sucks worse when he loses in brainerd. we all love ron up here in MN
- local northern MN guy ryan hutar wins 1st nat. event stock wally over heavy hitter joe santangelo. it was decided at the finish line.
- there seems to be a little competition for the judges bar, and camp pallet. had a nitro blender in the zoo. they did judges and pallet on friday nite,
but saturday after fireworks it ended up at another place, which was just as rockin' as the other two.

Q3 saturday. IMO forecast and temps kept a few people away. not a lot, but crowd seems down a little this year.
IMO the difference in bir attendance from year to year are the day trippers. i think the camping population is either constant or slightly increasing.
wasn't down in zoo though. a constant parade as soon as racing was over for day. getting to be a lot of very tricked out stetch
golf carts. fully lifted, full of LED lights, and built in stereo systems that just rock.

My guess is despite running 3.85 and .86 in the previous two rounds he knew he was facing a low 3.80, 340mph competitor in the final and Venebles simply turned up the wick a bit too much. Turned out it wasn't necessary as Prock's car wasn't quite on its game in either the semis or the final.
