This is a two-heat race. If you don't win the prelims, you don't get to run the finals.

It's special, because over the years this race has grown. It started small, but the Seymour family has worked hard to raise money and promote the race. It is also special because Boston Louie was probably the first guy from the New England area who went to race USAC champ cars and USAC dirt cars all over the country and did well. He was great for our sport here.

The girls ran a great race. They knew that they'd have to run very well and they did. That gives us a little boost in terms of next week because that sectional is going to be a very tight race.

I think they're being misled.

They're wrong. It's based on turnout, not total registered voters. Their lawyers are going to say it's not this, it's that; our lawyers will disagree. And we believe, if anyone takes it to court, our lawyers would prevail.

He can't outspend us, he doesn't have a grass-roots network like ours, and he's got no credibility on the issues. So how does that make him a front-runner?
