5 WEEKEND AFTER-THOUGHTS: Limaland, Plymouth, and more

At 8:55pm, the first feature of the night was going green at Limaland.

1.  Chase and I went to Limaland Friday night and, as usual, saw an absolutely outstanding show.  The final checkered flag of the night waved at 9:48pm which, when you have to work the following day AND have a 4-year-old with you, is absolutely perfect.  The racing was superb with the UMP Modified feature coming right down to the closing laps with 7th-starting Randy Lines narrowly getting the win over 9th-starting Todd Sherman.

2.  Speaking of Randy Lines, his banner season continued as he doubled down by grabbing the victory at Montpelier Saturday night.  

3.  On Saturday, we made our first ever trip to the Plymouth Speedway in Plymouth, IN.  I'll have a full report on Plymouth later, but let me say this.  A good time was had by all.  They started on time, ran an efficient program, provided great racing, and had everyone on their way home by 10:45pm. As a bonus, we got to see racing on their inner oval with the Open 600cc class, which boosted my career track total up to 175.

4.  Nice to see Rick Eckert grab a couple wins on the Hell Tour. 

5.  Racing Vacation 2014 begins Friday.  Six races in five states.  If you haven't done so yet, check out my overview of the upcoming trip.  Early weather models are showing warm temps with virtually no chance of rain for the beginning of this adventure.  We'll see what happens!
