Was a good derby. A certain someone that complains about people not knowing where the gas pedal is at, finally started hitting about 3/4 of the way into the final heat. #40 and #5 put on a show with the hits and the put the skinny pedal down. Too bad they couldn't have held on a little longer. Overall good derby. Agree with the track condition, first heat was terrible but it came around.
