MOHAWK INTERNATIONAL RACEWAY.......AT NIGHT


This is really one of the nicest tracks we race at. Didn't used to be. Built on a swamp, the former Frogtown Speedway was dark, scary, and kinda rundown. Over a million dollars, yes, $1,000,000, was put into the facility and it is a showpiece. Musco lighting, aluminum stands, VIP boxes, place is great. And at night, you see everything.

The flash went off on this one, exposing dust particles on my lens. James Hanson is upside down, with 20 Dan Kazubinski, 10 Jeff Cook, and 8 Alain Bergeron all tangled.

It is a half mile track. It's on the Akwasasne Mohawk Reservation, about a mile or two west of the Casino you see ads about.
