It was last minute, otherwise I would have posted that I was going.
They had the regular races, but also did Dukes of Hazard jumps and figure 8 bus races. They rolled a bus which I kind of expect now, but there also was a guy who took his 2006 taurus (not a 96, a 2006) up and off the Dukes ramp. He did pretty well, but lost steering and then plowed into the wall. Another guy's old Buick H-body still ran but was toast, so he parked it next to the cars in line for Monster truck crushing.
Dan Neinstadt's guys over at MN Ford Enthusiasts were there and had an on-track spectator drag event with about 10 of them. They also were lined up inside the gates next to the building for everyone to see-that was pretty cool.

If he wasn't behind on his payments before, I'd bet he will be now.
That, or he's going to really be surprised when his hangover wears off this morning...

Or thought his insurance would pay the loan off and he'd be rid of it...

it was sagging in the back when he drove it out, but other than that, it looked decent and ran well from what I could see in the stands. A saturn won, took a very nice flying elap and landed fairly flat even.
