Kids allowed in the pits there yet? I'm thinking about bringing the '57 Bel air up but no kids in the pits will be a deal breaker
12 is still the cutoff...but an old looking 10 usually sneaks in 😉
As far as driver list goes in regards to the "home track" cars I can confirm you'll see.
Limited Lates -- 02 Shawn Murray, 2 "Hometown" Mike Brown, 10 Gord Shepherd, 14 "Hurricane" Thayne Hallyburton, 17 Kevin Reynolds, 19 Keith McLeod, 28 Robin Jongen, 33 Rob Bromley (driving Dave Lewis car), 48 Dwayne Baker, and 69 Al "Red Rocket" Inglis..
In regards to the rest of the Barrie guys, the most notable exemption is the 57 of Ron "The Dominator" Quesnelle, he was iffy, but I did put some pretty good heat on him to make the show so we'll see!! 😉 Didnt talk to the 4 of Lloyd, 74 of Manary, or 91 of Pepin in regards to this one, but I'd suggest all three drivers are pretty strong possibilities. Isnt lookin like the 54 of Bull or 92 of Dixon will be there unfortunately!! :'(
Add to that Sunset's Bentley, Caprichio, and Elliott... Varney's Tommy Robb and that's a pretty good race right there... No idea on any of the NCATS "big wigs" rumored either.. Not my area of expertice, but they will add to the show if any of Micks, Dilley, or Steckly show in cars (as rumored)...And sure hope Sauble's Jason Parker and Tyler Williams make the start again.. But knowing how close the points are up there that could be pipe dreaming.. Thunders still to come but got to take a 30 min pit stop.. 😉
Sorry for the delay, that was a long half hour pit stop.. 😉
As fas as the Thunders go, while I didnt get to chat with as many of those guys as I did the LLMs I can confirm you'll see.. 00 Darryl St. Onge, 5 Mike "The Hulkamaniac" Langley, 39 Travis "The Enforcer" Halyburton, 44 Dave "The Deuce" Doucette, and #77 Brian Murray.
Would be shocked if the 21 of Desi Walt doesnt make the start.. That girl never usually misses an oppertunity to race.. 😉 I would suggest the 72 of Marquardt, 81 Andrew Cole, 54 Ed Cole, and 55 of Goggins are also "fairly strong possibilities".. Unfortunately it doesnt look like the 20 of Gignac or 92 of Dixon will make the call, and no idea on the 80 of Shakell, while I spoke with Doug prior to the race we didnt discuss Thurs night..
Lots of notable ommissions in this class namely the top 3 in the Barrie point standings..Walt, Johnston, and Belesky.. Have heard both Walt and Belesky were lookin to land a LLM ride for this one..But if one of or neither deal pans out I'd expect to see them make the start in Thunders.. Leonard was iffy and unsure due to work commitments, but as with the 57 of Quesnelle in the LLMs I did put some pretty good heat on him to make the show. ;D
Add in the visiting cars of Sunset's Bentley, Walters, and Monette that are pretty certain from my best intelligence, and Saubles "Smokin" Joe Adams and thats a good basis to begin with..Heard Matt Mulholland blew his motor at The Beach on Sat, so that looks as if a likely starter wont make the call.. Have also heard Lane Zardo is coming, but I really have nothing concrete to back that up.. No idea on and of the Flammy or Kawartha guys either, but Kawartha cars seem unlikely as they have a point race the next night themselves.. That's all I got for now, hope all you race fans out there are at least considering it too.. I dont think the racing itself will disappoint.. 🙂
If they gave the hometrack guys more nights off during the season and didn't have a race 2 nights later I bet you more BSW drivers would show.
