Ok my best 20 min rundown as I'm flying out the door for work soon.. Not a bad night of racing all in all except for a marginally low Thunder count.. Late Model features were super intense and competitive though.. Just love those double up restarts were using this year!!! Car counts were 19 LLM, 15 Thunders, and 24 4 cyl.. First Late Model feature won by Shepherd from the pole, with Baker 2nd, McLeod 3rd, Jongen 4th, and Al Inglis 5th.. 25 lapper only had one debris caution. 2nd feature race also pretty exciting inverted the top 3 meaning McLeod got pole.. He led for the first half the race and then after mid race restart he and Baker had a great dice for the lead and Baker looked to be slightly leading running the outside. The two made slight contact down the backstretch and McLeod cut a tire bringing out another caution with Keith headed pitside.. From there Baker and Jongen battled for a couple laps side by side, with Baker getting the edge and sailing to victory in the 2nd 35.. Shepherd got past Jongen in the last 10 laps to finish 2nd, with Jongen holding on for 3rd, Lewis 4th and Brandon Watson 5th..McLeod would battle back to finish a respectable 8th. Heats to Shepherd and Reynolds. Good night for the newcomers #57 Ron Quesnelle and #6 Keith Maiato who both finished in the top 10 in both features I think.. #54 Randy Bull also did well landing just outside the top 10 in both. 18 cars started both features with the exception being 2003 track champ #5 Steve Quesnelle who blew a tranny and snapped the driveshaft in 3 pieces in warm ups.. Not a good start to the year for my personal fav!!!LOL As mentioned only 15 Thunders showed, and a few grenaded!!! I think 10 started the feature, good 3 way battle with Belesky, Elliott, and St. Onge at beginning of race and Belesky led up till halfway when St.Onge and he made contact going into 1, bringing Elliott up to 2nd and St. Onge moving into the lead.. On the last lap our famed Polish Prince battled back to pass Elliott for 2nd inside down the backstretch.. They would come to the line in this order with St. Onge winning, Belesky 2nd, Elliott 3rd, Burrage 4th, and #8 Rob Morrison 5th...Heats to St. Onge, Doucette, Burrage, and Morrison.. "The Deuce" had troubles and didnt start the feature as well as #21x Desi Walt, 84 Slavish,19 Foster and 24 Johnston.. Pure Stocks was 2 Melenhorst, 4 Meyer, 37 Robbie Sikes, 90 MacDonald, and 15 Burtoo as the top 5. Heats to 77 Leclerc, 2 Melenhorst, 91 Lethbridge, and 99 Stieler... Sorry for the shotty rundown but on my way out the door.. Might have a few more comments later..... From the cheap seats........ You know the insignia

Yes Dave its the same crate, and no I have not touched the motor since the track delivered it to me. I just got my car to work in the corners makes a world of difference when you have less power I have to be smooth through the corner.
