On behalf of the Lee County Fair Association I would also like to thank all of Overlanders club members, participants, spectators, and those behind the scenes who helped put the event on. It was a huge success for all.

Great show next year if they want help again, I say we look into the feild in the back or maybe look at 2 lanes 1 deep 1 shallow to keep the track away from the bleachers, We have a year to plan  |

Sam I have to agree with you 100% we were a little too close for comfort. Maybe a drag ET lane and bog lane? Other suggestions? The field in the back is rented ground, not sure if we can tear it up, but most the bleachers are portable and can be moved if necessary.
The crowd was happy everyone I talked to liked it. The only criticism I've heard, and on a regular basis, was we need to keep things rolling a little bit better. No biggie it was our first show trying to get familiar with everything, shouldn't be a problem for next year.

120 entries, 240 passes, 6 hours. That's a truck down the track every 90 seconds!  |

Our biggest slow down was the lights getting ran over they never seem to work the same after they take a tumble, that is where the 2 lane race would help spread out the lights.
We have a chance to buy 10 more senors with the light sorces for $750.00 aNY club member have a thoughts on this

Sam, If we are going to spent money on sensors why not start buying the Infrared sensors. Because we can't get parts for are old sensors we have, maybe start buying the infrared ones a couple at a time. Just an idea.
