Well Ladies and Gents what a spectacular evening it was shaping up to be, @ the dump on the hump, there was clouds in the sky and Thunder in your ear but it was from a different source not so much from LLM or 4cyl /4 fun but the thunders where going to be such a show the only way I can describe it is "supercalafragilisticexpaldosous" the rain was holding of beside a small spatter here and there, "The Deuce" showed with his well prepped bullet and was instantly a fast 5 car and crowd pleaser, as the usual Sunset suspects were finding their "A game".  Then apon receiving a few text messages infoming us that Barrie had cancelled, a bevy of fast thunders made their entrance to the pits they list included "Flying" (one handed I might add) Frank Davey,  Eddie "The Eagle" Trembly, Chance Isherwood and Rick Walt.  The thunders instantly went form having 4-5 cars that could win to 10-12 all having to come from the back "Oh Yeah" this was going to be a show and a half, then in the 4 fun feature it's reared it's ugly head and blam there it was "The Kibosh" as Nicole Podiwels found her way into the opening in the front stretch wall,  I do hope Nicole is OK but from what I understand it was the track rentameds that called the show, killing any hope of the amazing Thunder show that would've had new owner Wes Good drooling in amazement,  now onto the tech side of things  Kevin Reynolds (R I M Chassis) was in with "The Deuce"  as he made it through tech with only a few small details, well upon Tremblys arrival in his new gen the crying began as tech had it explained that the chassis themselves have zero difference and run at a 7" ride hight not 6"  the bewilderment was undeniable, as I heard many complaints you know what I began to think.......yep  I didn't know we were on the beach LOL that's right  more sand!  here you have 4-5 fast cars that just showed up to support your track and how do you repay them that's right you pick the cars apart pissing and moaning about SWEET FA!!!!  come on Sunset get with the program here same weights means let's get atter!!!  although Tech got it all sorted out in a timely fashion and had a relatively open mind (Thanks Ted and Fred)  upon cancellation of the night no monies where returned to those who didn't even hit the track,  now call me silly and I'm in no way shape or form a business man but Wes that is just plain straight old BAD BUSINESS!!! you had a chance to steal a few cars from a rival track and basically said "No Thanks" but I can tell you how you can fix it and get even more thunders for next year!!!! but all in all I must say it was going to be a great night reminding me much of the summer of '06 in 2 thunder heats with "The Deuce" being persued by Herb Walters and "The Deuce" being the persuer in the other match up!!!  good racing was a foot and great racing was shaping up, but we can't cry over spilt milk right, I just hope it can happen again cause I what to see it heck we could even add in Reyns,Remmington, and Mayhew Oh Baby what a race that would be!!
just on a side note I'd thought for a moment that Casey Mears had mad the trip aswell but soon noticed it was  "Straight Shooter" Steve Slaughter Jr. in a very well tailored new suit looking like a driver determined to take care of business!!  nice suit Stevie!! 

Now in order to steal some competition Wes I promise you if you repave Sunset and use the good stuff you will have to turn cars away next season do to over capacity in every class!!  that place would be  "Ludicrously" fast with grip!!  I can tell you I would be there with bells on!!  we're all racers and live and die with the need for speed now please give us a new fix!!!!

P.S.  We don't wear suits and ties,  we wear fire suits and have fire in our eyes, don't try to change what made racing what it is today embrace it and take the ride!!!  Barrie Speedway best get it's head on straight soon!!
