Weekend in Review

The Good

- Gladiators home for the Wild Card game! 7PM next Monday (the 30th) against Orlando @ the Q.

- Indians take two of three from the Dodgers

- Aeros finish roadtrip 6-1

The Bad
- Indians finish roadtrip 2-4

The Indifferent
- City draws Wilmington nil-nil (this actually could be filed under bad, City was at Krenzler with the Green Army in full force and only managed to draw a pitiful Wilmington side. In their defense, lousy officiating robbed City of what should have been the game-winner.)

The Ugly
- It was a tough weekend in auto racing (and I don't mean WEWS running way too long with their severe weather update and pre-empting the end of the Iowa 250, I only wish I did). Two drivers were lost this week in freakish crashes. As most have you have probably heard, Funny Car racer Scott Kalitta was killed in a fiery crash at the Supernationals in Englishtown N.J. on Saturday (By the way, out of respect for the Kalitta family and his colleagues and competitors on the NHRA circuit, I am not posting a link to crash footage here.) Also this past weekend, a club racer from Michigan named Dino Crescentini (not the one who drives in SWC Touring, he's from California) was killed in a vintage Can-Am race at the Mosport road course in suburban Toronto. Please pray first and foremost for God to comfort the grieving families and friends of these two racers, but also for the sanctioning bodies and track owners that they would use these two accidents as an impetus to vastly improve their safety precautions, especially at the two tracks in question. Please, let something come of these untimely passings.
