Shadow Report Great Canadian Weekend Night 1

Shadowracer · 2010-09-03T23:47:07Z

HeatsSuper Stock 15-Mairs jumps out floowed by Root, Sheilds, Bloemendal and Ott. Bloemendal drops out of line and leaves Ott and Sheilds to run side by side. Then Ott drops out of line, Sheilds gets away and Ott and Root battle side by side for 3rd. 1st to Mairs, 2nd to Shields, 3rd to OttSuper Stock 2Right off the green flag there's trouble as 77-Lake and 84-Smith get together and loop in turn 1 for the yellow. After the restart its the top 4 running nose tail with Nagy, Lawrence, Reid and Smith. Lawrence pushes Nagy hard, as the points seperating him, Lidster and Smith are only 4 or so. Nagy holds on though. 1st Nagy, 2nd Lawrence, 3rd ReidLM 1We welcomed Matt Pritiko back after missing a week due to a bent race car, and we also welcomed Derek Clark, formerly of the number 7 truck. He was running the number 10, (renumbered 18), sportsman car. Hope to see the number 7 on the side soon. The way things are going, the question is, will it be a Super Stock or a Late Model? Team Total gets out front 1 and 2 with 00-Cox in front, Ramsay second and 78-Watson 3rd. Thats the way it stays, but Watson reels the two in and mounts a good charge in Ramsay in the closing laps.LM 2Starts off with 81 Gresel going around in 1 after the green flag. One failed restart when Urlin jumps the green and they throw yellow again. Gresel is mad at being sent to the back and rockets through the field and up to 2nd once green flies. He has Urlin in his sights and reels him in until he's right on the bumper of the 4 car. Gresel gets him loose in 4 on the last lap, (a carbon copy of the move Urlin made on Powell in the Kyle Busch race) and they come across the line side by side. Urlin edges him by a bumper, then dumps the 81 in turn 1 on the cooldown lap. (Guess Johnny can dish it out but he can't take it.) 3rd to 35x-JacquesAfter the checkers fly, we also notice that 33-Grover is up against the turn 3 wall. He goes peeling out of there and drives thru the pits and out to pit lane to confront the 8 car. Its Hulkamania in the pits as Grover jumps out and lets his displeasure be known. (A whole lot of commotion but really we were too far away to see what was going on.)-------------------------------------------------------------------------------Super Stock FeatureRight off the bat its all Mairs and Sheilds out front, but caution flies early on lap 2 when 28-Lawrence ends up in the grass in turn 3. Lawrence pulls it in the pits for a look and comes out tail end when the green flag drops again. Now its Mairs, Shelids, DeJesus and Ott welded together and putting in some distance. DeJesus isnt that fast and Ott, feeling frisky from his win the week before, muscles past DeJesus before the leaders get too far. Now the top 3 are all bumper to bumper and 11-Lidster breaks free and joins them to make it a foursome. Now about 8 or so laps in, Shields is around in 3 and Ott is up to 2nd. Caution.Restart has Mairs, Ott, Lidster, then Richmond and Lake side by side. Richmond is doing his usual outside lane magic and staying right with Lake. He see-saws back and forth a bit between Lake and Lidster, and eventually settles into 5th spot. Now the leaders are coming up to lap traffic. Ott goes outside and snookers Mairs behind a slower car and makes the pass for the lead. Mairs drops off and now its Ott, Lidster, and a big pack consisteing of Lake, Richmond, Smith, Reid, Lawrence and Nagy. What a fight! It ends however when Reid and Nagy get together on the backchute and Nagy goes around to bring the caution out.After the restart, Its Ott, Lake, then Richmond, while Lidster, Smith and Lawrence all fight over 4th spot. In the closing laps, Richmond is all over Lake but can't get around. Ott hangs on for his 2nd win in a row! 2nd to Lake, 3rd to Richmond, 4th Lidster and 5th to Smith. -----------------------------------------------------------------Late Model Feature Gresel and Cox take command early with Urlin, Watson and Ramsay straight behind. For a little while the top 2 are on the run and its looking like the double-zeroes are not settling for second tonight, as Cox makes several early attempts on Gresel.Not much change in order in the 1st half. What WAS sort of odd was that several of our good runners seemed to be way off tonight. 72-Thompson, 14-Emery and 25-Powell were languishing near the back all night. Not sure what was up there. So now the only real change is that Ramsay seems to drop off a bit and Kenndy gets past him into 5th. Gresel, who had opened up a bit of a lead seems to be dropping ever so slightly, as though he'd used his tires up or something, because now Cox is right on his bumper again. Both of them, plus Urlin and Watson are now bumper to bumper coming down to the closing laps. Now the heartbreak of the season happens, as something lets go on the front end of Cox's 00 machine on the frontstretch and he piles hard into the turn 1 fence...sort of like what Urlin did 2 weeks ago.The front end of th...

The gentleman in the Viper was out of the hospital saturday and other then being very sore is ok. My understanding is that the air bag did go off.

Wow...this might be the first time we've had a real argumant worthy controversy in the King of the Hill. ;D

Maybe now the fly by nighters will have a taste of what it means to have to put your car back together after racing for 500 bucks.

Too bad it wasn't him that was photographed with his licence plate for all to see.

He came in on a trailer behind a motorhome that afternoon, which led me to believe he was going "checkers or wreckers".

I thought you had to drive your KOTH vehicle to the track. I know it has to be licensed and I guess it would be hard to prove you didn't drive it to the track. That is just dirty pool and if guys start doing that then it will be the end of KOTH.
