Things started out a bit rough for AMCA regular Jay Elliot while in practice. The track worker sending cars out on the track for practice sent the entire field of 19 out at once. Once they realized their mistake, they threw a caution to get some of the cars off the track. Unfortunately this resulted in some cars knowing about the caution and others not. Jay was high on the track going into turn one when another driver plowed into him against the wall.
The other car broke a fuel line spilling gas that ignited, catching both cars and drivers in a huge blaze of flames. Jay got out and then assisted the other driver who had flames on the sleeve of his driver's suit.
The other guys car was severely burnt and Jay's car scorched before the were able to get the flames out. Jay's car bent his steering column during the initial impact of the wreck, making the car undrivable.
But with the encouragement and great help from fellow AMCA drivers Dale Knutson and Rick Taylor, they got the car back together to get a qualifying lap in.
Jay finished the night racing and earning a top ten finish. But I digress.

Main Event
During the Main Event, Dale Knutson got into a tangle with a spun car and sat crossways on the track. And then Another car (after hitting another car) while trying to stop for the incident wheel hopped straight into the side of Dale and ended his night.
With about 5-6 laps to go in the main, a caution came out. Rick Taylor was black flagged due to a flat left front tire. Because the car was driving just great with the left front flat, he was continuing to race until a caution sent him off the track.
High AMCA finish honors went to Cameron Stark who came from back in the pack to finish a very strong 3rd in a fast and talented 18 car field of dwarf cars.
