In keeping with the Rotroff tradition, Event began right on time (immediately following Clermont County Fair's Military program ) and heats moved right along without
long delays in between - unlike derbies staged by other promoters, and without those annoying, slow-moving lawn mowers that others shove down our throats!
As always, Cavalcade of Thrills exhibited professionalism and organization.  Announcer is informative,and enjoyable to listen to as he calls all the action, which is also
 in contrast to all the other "wanna be's."  Their derbies are a pleasure to watch, and they're  so much better prepared to conduct the shows than any of their competitors.
Track was wet from the day's rains, but still showcased aggressive hitting, and event concluded in plenty of time for patrons to enjoy and support the rest of The Fair.

Rotroff and Clermont County do EVERYTHING right.  The wet track was dug out to insure a fast surface, and hard hitting derbies, and nothing blocked anyone's view.
Derbies began PROMPTLY as scheduled, and were completed in plenty of time to get the crowd out to the Midway to support The Fair and it's venders.  Heats were hard
hitting and officials permitted NO "sandbagging."  This is annually one of the best derbies around; you're just never quite ready for the action to come to an end.

Tuesday witnessed perhaps the weakest Rotroff event of all time.  Even so, they announced the duration of the Figure-8 events rather than wait for one of their buddy's to take the
lead and then call it quits  as is regularly the case elsewhere.  Forecast for rain certainly contributed to the short fields, and derbies were compromised by vehicles getting torn
up in Figure-8 races that were necessitated to fill the evening's grandstand entertainment.  To their credit, they certainly rebounded with quality shows Thurs. and Saturday.
