hey TAJ, don't blow smoke up my bum. i know what engine is in that car and it isn't your crate engine. remember this is oro and people can't keep there mouth shut! regardless, good run on saturday night!
One thing kinda confuses me about the results!!! After the lap 9 incident between C. Doucette and Leclerc I had both drivers battling back to record top 5 finishes with Doucette 4th and Leclerc 5th. Noticed in the actual race results Leclerc was scored 4th and Doucette 12th??? What am I missing here?? Did Doucette spend an extended time in the pits??? I sure didnt see that, as I assumed both just went to the back!!! I'm almost positive Doucette finished ahead of the 77 of Leclerc so if you can enlighten me please do!! And have to agree on the food prices!! Something like $2.54 for a bottle of pop?? Why not just keep it simple for fans and workers alike?? I had one pop and a burger which I didnt find all that bad but it was early in the night too. The no onions was a downer as whats a track dog or burger without the onions?? I think the change from Domino's is rather confusing too!! But if indeed it is the same concession running group as the Colt's games that explains it as they go with Pizza Pizza there. And Pizza Pizza is sponsoring one of the NCTS races at Barrie this year so maybe thats why that change was made!! Have to agree about some bugs needed to work out!! The main flagman cant be on the stand solo and having to run up and down lining up the cars every time there is a restart. For all the back flagman did last Sat he should be over there helping with that as it went last year!!! Dont know who he was but that guy was BRUTAL with a capital B. The other front flagman has a few years expierience from what I'm told but didnt use the flags when he should of sometimes( was probably catching his breath from running up and down the stairs doing the line ups). The idea of the back flagstand was to allow an official to see any incidents on that side but if the guy cant or wont make the calls it is rendered useless again. And back to the food prices if your going to raise them marginally as they did thats fine but food should be better as well not worse which was indeed the case from the people I talked too. Lets hope some of the suggestions here get seen and thought about by the people in charge cause I'd hate like hell to lose cars and fans about somethings that seem so simple.
When we asked about Crystal's finish, we were told that she has been scored a lap down, because she is being penalized for how long it took them to wave the caution flag. Which by the way makes not sense, if they were scoring her 1 lap down then she should have restarted after the 77 (even though he caused the spin) not in front of them (where they did started her). She was not a happy girl!!
I must say that i am very proud of her for the way that she handled that. They put her to the back and she made almost all the way back to the front. Not bad for a 17 year old girl that doesn't even have a drivers license. She is here dad's girl.
I think they marked chystal a lap down after she got turned. damn shame to she was doing very well.
in p/s a div. brandon was driving his dads car in the feature came from scatch position up to i think
5th so a prety good rn for him
Well Rhonda if that is indeed you I dont understand that explanation either!! If they said Crystal went a lap down under caution does that mean there essentially saying the 3rd place car at that time did one full lap and passed her before she got strightened out?? I would of then asked why so long to throw the caution?? That spin left her right in the middle of the frontstretch??? Makes zero sense to me!! I'm suprised Dave didnt go off like a pistol!!! And for the record I dont think it was intentionally done by the #77 hes not that kind of driver. And I have no reason to take his side as hes one of the drivers at the track I dont think I've ever spoken too. But your right Crystal should be proud because she drove a great race both before and after the incident!! Her turn will come I assure you but it was a shame thats for sure but I wouldnt be too mad a the #77 either as I dont think it was intentional on his part just a racing deal!! Tell her hold her head high shes got oodles of talent from what I see.
