I understand your point Mobil1.

I agree that some things should (maybe don't necessarily HAVE to) change.

Nobody else seems to be working on the problem. Or even talking about it. And sometimes just blindly ignoring the fact that the other group/s exists.

There are some spectacular opportunities here. That's probably why this topic keeps reappearing in different forms.

Just my opinion of course. One stakeholder of many (fans, competitors, management, staff), all of whom have an opinion.

That would be an awesome shootout with cars from both tracks competing together. Even a small series like 3 races each at Sunset and Barrie. I think that Gord would be approachable on this. I have known him for 30 years and he sure loves his racing also he would get incredible exposure for his dealerships too. I just don't know if there is time to pull this off in time for this year.

just out of left Field but maybe drivers/carowners could set it up and then present it to the tracks.better yet rent the tracks let the drivers do it themselves and keep all the money.

This is an excellent idea in theory, but, I don't believe it can fly until the cars involved operate out of the same rule book. All the drivers would be to worried about "home track rule advantages". It's pretty tough to convince track management to put their differences aside, when most drivers won't. The Frosty special was the perfect example. Everyone always bashes Glenn for not allowing New Gens. at Sunset. For those of you that where there, you know that the #2 new gen was there, courtesy of Sunset management, and it turned out it was drivers, including a couple of Barrie cars that did the crying, not Glen.  As far as LLM goes, I think it would go the same way. It seems like eveytime a good thing comes around, we as racers, shoot ourselves in the foot.  A couple of years ago, at the Barrie LLM drivers meeting, Blue Jay announced a very high paying deal, but after all the crying for the next 30 minutes, it got shelved.
  With the track record of stalled programs here in Southern Ontario, other than those actually racing, I don't see any major tittle sponsors beeting down promoters doors. Just my opinion.

Wow TAJ holy negativity on ya!!!LOL I do think you could make the idea work as far as the sponsorship goes you just need the right person to present it!! And as far as the drivers go as long as you kept the # of races at Sunset and Barrie the same what could there be to complain about as far as a home track advantage goes??? And even better still if you dont like it dont race?? Keeps things simple doesnt it??? I think if put on properly you would have at least 25-28 of the better LLM from both Barrie and Sunset that would show up for every race be it a 4 or 6 race series as has been previouslly mentioned!!!
