The sun was great all day Friday waiting for race night at Madison Int'l Speedway for there first weekly night of the 09 season but buy 5:00 clouds start rolling in. Over 60 cars showed and running a little late they ran almost 6 of the 9 heat races got through before the rains came and called the show.

Saturday turned out to be a shortened day for me. Starting with the 3rd Annual Cars On State Street here in Madison the event was going to be bigger then in the past with 150+ cars but the weather knock the car count down to around 100 but still a good crowd was there for the event run with the weekly farmers market.

What should I do?
I was going to start with what happened two weeks ago then the race this weekend at MIS looked like I was going to have to start there but soon the unhappiness that unfolded from that race made the best place to start is far away from that.

With rain lurking for the weekend and no tracks really open Friday night I drove three hours North to Luxemburg Speedway a track I had not gone to in 20 years. With time on my hands I took Hwy. 54 through Green Bay (A mistake to slow, wrong road, just site seeing who cares.) finally got to I-43 did some more site seeing (You know you are going to run into Lake Michigan sooner or later going East.)

I got to the town after 4:00 and looked around. In your mine a name of a speedway like Luxemburg makes you think of a fairly good size town not a one horse town with two gas station a McD's-Sub Way and a grocery store. The High School Luxemburg-Casco was the most biggest thrill to see.
