Glad everybody was ok after
Glad everybody was ok after the starting gate accident. Looked pretty scary at the time. On another point congrats to the folks at Summerside Raceway on the great show so far. Excellent bet and up from last year. Proves once again that given equal opportunity SRW can compete with any track in the region.
Continued success folks!
