we were at delaware friday and the last couple of times we did go , the latemodels didnt impress me at all...in fact if the trucks arent on the schedule we dont make the drive from hamilton...3 and 4 wide sometimes, those trucks are crazy...flamboro has some decent car counts but its mainly follow the leader since the started using the crates...just my thought.

Delaware had a full field of late models until they changed the rules to a McColl-Wilcox-Chevrolet class. Maybe Robblee got tried of them changing the rules every time he showed up or maybe he doesn't like follow the leader racing. The O4 & 86 have switched to Flamboro.

If Roblee is running the same LM as last year he has a lot of weight penalties against him and also the chassis builder of that car is a tech man at Kawartha.

I think it'd be good for the class (maybe not necessarily for McColls) if someone could make a go of it with a Port City car there, to get more options as far as competitive cars out there...
EDIT: As far as the Chevy-heavy fields, it makes sense considering the GM crate is 2-3 thousand dollars cheaper than the Ford/Dodge equivalents, and (if I recall correctly) are easier to purchase/acquire parts for (I believe the Ford/Dodge crates have to come from the US versus two GM dealerships in Ontario (London and Orangeville) that stock the GM crate, but don't quote me on it)...

That depends on what you call a full field. There hasn't been a steady 24 - 28 car regular Friday LM field since the late 80s.

I don't know anything about chassis and motor rules, but I'd sure like to know what Flamboro's got that we don't, except for racing on a night where most guys haven't had to be at their day jobs all day.
