It was one heck of a day.

Many of the west side of the state racers traveled from distances, and the greater Detroit metro FactoryTracks crowd showed up in full force. Our new friend(s) from Indiana made the trip too.

(and the usual folks traveled from the bay area and points north too).

All I can say is the Michigan RC racing scene is second to none.

And, finally, it didn't rain. On race day at least. It did rain Friday night late, but things cleared up and it was a beautiful day.

Contrary to the June and July races when the heat was full on with the sun high in the sky, this year's August race was a first rate October like day. It seemed like it was going to snow all day long, but luckily it didn't. I didn't mind wearing the hoodie, beats the heck out of rain and hot sun.

The race program moved right along and participation was right up there as previous tracks, so I guess in the absence of a rain delay the MORL crowd CAN get done and be on the road by a decent hour (like before sun down).

I counted 197 entries in 23 Mains. Good work guys.

Hats off to Terry McDowell and family, the track and grounds were in darn good shape. Pheasant Runn is always a treat to visit, wish we could make it that way more often...

Without further delay, here's the action:

Thanks folks, see you at the next one...
