Ok things are gettin a little dull on this side the board so good time to preview what might happen at the awards banquet this year if I had my vote. Speakin of the banquet noticed it's been moved from end of Nov to Oct 30th. Should be a good night with it being at the BMC, and some race action displayed on the big screen and the championship cars will be floor side so that will be cool for fans to come see the cars up close. Anyways on to the predictions.
Late Models -
Track Champion ---- Keith McLeod.. (Had originally picked Jongen, but he missed a start so hard to come back after that and Keith was my 2nd choice)
Rookie of the Year----- Brandon Crumbie
Hard Charger ----- Al Inglis
Best Lookin Car -----( Lots of candidates here as there all pretty sleek) but my choice is #57 Ron Quesnelle.
Most Improved ----- Larry "Doc" Woodward
Best Marketed Team ---- Robin Jongen
Hard Luck Award ---- Stoyan Zutich.
Most Sportmanlike ----Steve Quesnelle
Thunder Cars -
Track Champion ---- Darryl St.Onge ( Had originally picked Doucette but he had some tough luck not making starts in weeks 1&3)
Rookie of the Year ---- Thayne Hallyburton (Impressively etched in the top 10 in his freshman season in the division)
Hard Charger ------ Jason Elliott (Super consistent in coming from the back each week to a string of top 5 finishes)
Best Lookin Car ---- Again lots of candidates but #3 Ken Denhollander
Most Improved ----- Chris Burrage
Best Marketed Team ---- Dave"The Deuce" Doucette-- (Raced at mostly every other track in the province with impressive results)

Well there you have it , agree or disagree?? Feel free to add some alternate suggestions. Sure hope we get the racing in this evening...
Can't disagree with anything Dave. But man I hope we go racing tonight...this is getting ridiculous....
Weather network is saying a light rain possibly starting about 5pm..But I am like you Thayne hoping it can somehow magically hold off till midnight.. Sure been a tough year, I think were at 9 race nights and 6 or 7 rainouts by now..Some notable omissions in my awards like Shepherd and Baker in LLM, and Jim MacDonald who's had a really good year in 4 bangers, but there cant be a award for everyone..I'm sure Shepherd and Baker will get nice trophies regardless, just for being in the top 3 in points. And I'm sure JIMBO will be happy with a career best point finish as that looks like a distinct possibility for him..
😉 those are all good picks there dave, i would think that jenny macdonald might have a shot at most sportsmanlike (lent the car to ricky walt and dave crumbie). AND YEAH so far i am very happy with the way the season went so far lets see if i can bring it back into the top 3. lol 😛 good compition out ther in the 4cyl div this year have to give all driver credit for "bringing it " this year
i think the 51 should have won roty but Barrie decided to ruin that if it wasn't for bsw not letting me race in one feature it would have been the 51 for roty i mean they let the 59Tc race in that feature on July 11 and his car wasn't even finished yet but they wouldn't even let me race or even start scratch that a big load of bs i thing even with my 3 blown motor of recently i just think that bsw should have been fair if it was one of the top 5 cars they sure would have let them run
