    On this trip I had heard GEXR ran a plow the night before, so when I went home after chasing OSR’s plow I went via Stratford, I was lucky enough to find the plow returning, with a crew, waiting for 85 to clear and after 85 passed they took the switch @ Cowie in hand, lined it for the main and ran west to London. Just pure dumb luck and of course I went out of town for a track speed shot. Even luckier is this track has been downgraded so they don’t run faster than 25 anymore..
