This past weekend Midwestern Council had their first race in 4 years  
at the Milwaukee Mile. We had a great time racing at a track with so  
much history. The Sports Car course uses most of the mile oval with a  
very daunting .8 mile track in the infield. Jersey barriers are every  
where because the infield portion is long and narrow; any off track  
experience usually ends up in the barriers. I race Scott's #49 Blue  
Spitfire. What a great car, so much fun to drive, handles like it is  
on rails... Except the 2 times I went 4 wheels off in the hairpin, I  
don't think I ever figured that corner out and not many found a fast  
way through it either. Glade Snodgrass's red round tail Spitfire was  
totaled in corner 1 coming off the oval when a car in front of him  
dumped it's oil on the track. Glade's car slid into the Jersey  
barriers left front corner first destroying the bonnet, frame and the  
pushing the floor pan in. John Salisbury's Bugeye Sprite got forced  
off the track and slid backwards into the barriers putting him out for  
the rest of the season. I had a great weekend and cannot stop smiling.  
Thanks MCSCC for a great weekend.
