Ran into and sat with 3Widers Joe McFarlane and Don Wolfe at Bridgeport.  For me, last night's action was well worth the trip but the results, modifieds wise, was the current norm.  What made last night special for me was the great conversations I had with Don and Joe throughout the night.  The passion for the sport of Saturday night racing, and the desire to keeping its past alive, is truly amazing.  We talked about the present state of local racing.  Most interesting were ideas shared regarding how shows are run and the different systems used to determine heat and feature line ups for different tracks.  While checking out the modified lineup, behind the grandstands, I was amazed at how many race fans, including drivers, waved or said hi to Joe and Don.  I felt like a rock band roadie!  Scott Ely
