weather was great again for racing...started at 3 and ended just after 6 pm...about 300 fans.first late model feature...17 cars started...this was a great race with some nice passing and some dicing but paul howse had them covered because scott lyons held everyone else up...finish was 8 paul howse, 52 scott lyons, 95 simone, 38 hooker and then 82 jake shaw...then limited late models...10 cars...borefest...10 shepherd led from green to checkers...the 35 car challenged him a few times but finished second...stompin tom was 3rd and the only excitement was watching watson come up thru the small field and then ride tom's bumper from lap 20 to the finish...he was all over him almost had he turned once, but the vet held him off....lap 19 the #24 went around and not sure if the yellow flag wasnt fast enough or they didnt see but some back marker collided to avoid hitting him but parsons nailed pretty close to headon, and he was done....thunders cars were next...24 cars started, i think 5 missed the cut...29 chenoweth was pole with 72 monette beside him and they were first and second the whole race, with some crashing and banging going on thru the pack...i didnt see the end as i was lining up myself (for no reason...lol), and when i got back too the pits i hear than 72 turned the 29 on the last lap...so the finish was 72 russnell, 89 bob chenoweth, 9, 8, 13....after the race the 29 went thru the pit and drove right into the passenger side of the 72...mini stocks next....30 cars started...3 missed the cut (more on that later)...the 10 nissan as i said yesterday had everyone covered...from what i heard his track rules for his car weighs legally 600 pounds less than the car than runs flamboro regular...someone is looking into that...lol...anyways he had everyone covered...second was the 71 rabbitt from sauble, 15 matt dean honda, 50 rabbitt from sauble, 31 dave bailey, 59 toyota from sauble....hobbies were next...only 9 cars...but the first 5 put on a great show racing bumper to bumper, made some great passes...the 0 made his way to second and was putting pressure on the 81 of shaw for a number of laps and on the white flag lap going into 2 his right rear axle or something broke and banged the wall at the pit exit...first 3 were 81 shaw, 18 and 57.final race was second latemodel race....17 started...shaw and hooker on front row...again it was the same guys at the front except lyons got out of the groove and fell back a number of spots...he didnt hesitate to use his bumper to get to the front...people that i watched with all laughed how he held up shaw, simone and hooker in the first race but they never turned him, but after a few laps he turned the 8 sauble falls car and then he ended in the grass himself with guys piling up behind him...but to the shock of all of us lyone got his spot back..lol...another part of the race, 95 simone slides into 3 and almost hits the wall with a rf flat, and stops in 4...caution falls...this is something we have seen many many many times...but as simone heads pit side they give him the black flag...lol... like come on?...everyone does this....there were a couple of other stupid calls in this one....but we decided of all the racing this weekend this was the only race we could think of that the officials screwed up...so the finish was 8 paul howse, 82 shaw, 38 hooker...now back to the minis...if you were there saturday or sunday and werent qualified for the A feature they would have ran a B, but since there werent enough the 3 cars that stayed got $25 for being there sunday atleastnext on the schedule...sunday november 1 st "Frostfest" for thunders and minis...more info to come on the web site.

Two things to say

Flamburgers....were great I had 4 on sunday and three on saturday. They ran out of cheese on sunday no thanks to gord sheppards crew!!

the flagging there was awsome, as far as line ups and getting back to green. They really dont screw around when it comes to getting the racing started. The llm restart was no ones fault but the tracks because they told the drivers not to go until the green light came on thats why sheppard never went until leaving turn four.

all in all good week end. Good to see a sunset car spank the field! That guy has his ducks in a row...dont know why there are so many stangs out there....guess no one got the message that they are slow!

guess i said more than do things.. deal with it!

Have to disagree about Simone.
He clearly had a flat coming out of turn 2, almost lost it. Drove down the back stretch, made no attempt to pull off the track. Stopped in turn 4, waited until the caution came out and then drove away. How convenient!

The race was well run & well flagged overall!
