Did they run the races on Sunday? How many LMs were there?
Might have got the racing in , never rained near Ottawa until nearly 3PM and then just a sprinkling , but knowing the WEATHER GODS the track was probably under a DARK CLOUD all day.
this was definitely a season we could have used rain tires.........
racing at kawartha was rained out again...
so has anyone heard yet whether the race today was a go or not??

Big fiasco in my opinion but web site says ' RAIN WRECK ANOTHER BIG RACE FOR CAPITAL CITY SPEEDWAY
FANS WENT AWAY HAPPY WITH WHAT WE DID GET IN THOUGH'
This fan did not go away happy. With rainout sat I thought I would not be going since I had to be going elsewhere at 4 pm. But the web site ( and apparently the phone person) said that gates would open sunday at 9 with racing at 10. To me racing means heat 1 of something so I figure LM feature will be long over by 4 pm so I went to the track. Got there right at 9 along with others. Nothing on the track between 9 and 10. Then does racing start. NO! They practice and do hot laps for almost 2 1/2 hours, even the 4-4 fun got to practice. Practice stops about 12:15 and announcer says racing in 3 minutes. Close to 1 pm before the 1st heat of late models. then they run other class heats all the while that it's getting cloudier. Didn't they have anyone who could check the radar map. Well as we get to the end of 2nd heats it's sprinkling. Thunder heat 2 is delayed and then get it in and legends 2nd heat. It's too damp on track for the LM 100 lapper so they bring out the monster trucks for a demo. One of them is brainless and goes down near turns 3 and 4 and loops in the infield spewing mud all over the track. Then does a bit of the front straight. Now as it continues to sprinkle they have to clean the mud off kicking it, brooming it and fortunately they have a small blower. Then they announce next race will be the enduro so as it was already after 3 pm I just left. I went to see LM racing not the other entertainment as did others who are probably as p e e d as me. If they had started racing earlier the LM's would have went. And I don't like it that they said racing would be at 10 and started almost 3 hours after that.
There 16 LMs there, only Jackson and Watson from KD but about 5 from Quebec.
