Anthony and Matt Tanner lead the field out of four in the first heat race at Granby.

A lot of stuff in the way, but I had to get a picture of the scoreboard after the first heat race. Anthony won!
THE WEEKEND THAT WAS
Track conditions were not the greatest at both tracks this past weekend. Both sets of turns got ripped up pretty bad at Granby leaving big chunks of clay and big potholes for the guys to manage around. I saw one sprint, #62, I think, get out of shape and went from four wheels to three wheels to one wheel back to three wheels on the ground.
They did smooth it out some at intermission, Anthony finished 10th on the night.
At Drummond Saturday night, Anthony started 8th in the A-Main. They had a 50 lap Modified feature before the ESS A-Main, and they made the dirt hard and slick with no bite. Anthony didn't have much grip or handle on the car and ended up 13th.
Two races and he brought the car home in one piece. Not everybody did. Couple of flips, couple of blown motors. All in all, a successful weekend for us.
Mohawk International Raceway in Hogansburg, NY this Friday. I know they have 3G coverage there, so I will post updates here on Henry's forum as the night progresses.
