I am guessing down in every division cept LLM and perhaps chargers will stay the same...

Well LLM might be about the same with the now possible losing of Watson, G. Reynolds looking to go OSCAAR,will McWhirter be back? Ive seen the car for sale on a few different sites,  Darren Malcom selling, Steve Quesnelle in search of a budget to run, and will K. Reynolds be p/t of f/t.

Those are the possible losses, gains are Kyle Baker? and that really all I know of.

a gain would also be the guy that bought temples chassis

and the mcwhirter car for sale on the websites is their old varney car that finished second to mclellan, however their barrie car is also for sale "for the right price"

Well Doherty I hope you are wrong with some of your hearsay speculation.  The car McWhirter has for sale is a spare car not the car he ran Barrie or the year end specials at Flammy and Pete, it was the 98 car driven by Steve Smith the year before.  The other four guys you mentioned are just some sponsorship dollars away from running a full season as are most racers.  

I can't help but believe some of the LLM drivers around Ontario and even some LM teams have to be taking a good look at all the positive things coming out of Barrie.  The biggest knock on Barrie in the past was on track calls and tech with the hiring of Brian Thomas I would say the new ownership group has addressed these problems.  Mr Thomas comes from doing the same job the last several seasons at St Estache where he was very well liked and highly respected by the racers, before that he has several years experience with Cascar and Delaware.  As for new rules the 100lb weight break for the crate has been removed so guys from other tracks with built engines can now run at Barrie with the same weight as the crate cars.  As for the LM guys with 105 cars and aftermarket spindles no longer have weight percentage penalties as all cars are now the same with 55% left and 50% rear.  Then there is the payout, simply put has to be the best in Canada when you compare the cost to race at Barrie to the amount of money that can be won.  Tell me where you can run a 35 lap race on a small track with a $4000 engine that pays a $1000 to win.  Then you have the year end points payout $7500 for first and $3150 for second and so on.  Plus you have the Nascar Canada money on top of that, and the extra year end draws for Carbs, Shocks, Body, 1/2 off Body, $750 Bayside credit.  The points champ Baker took home around $10,000 cash plus many extra prizes like 1/2 off a body, Bell Helmet, Drivers suit etc.  I wonder what the Delaware, Flamboro or Kawartha LM champs took home?  Or the Sunset, Varney, Mosport, Peterboro, Kawartha LLM champs took home?

It would be awesome to see a weekly field of 30 plus cars where everybody would have to quailfy to make the feature.  Heats would be very entertaining and the points race would be very interesting.
