Last night is perfect example of why people are not coming out to the races anymore.
I believe the Late Models only completed 15 laps for their feature out of 25 scheduled. It was about 10:40 pm with the Can-Am Midget feature still to come. I was joking with friends before the last restart that if they have one more caution they may throw the checkered and sure enough that's what happened!
Not much of a crowd again on the spectator grandstand side as pointed out by an earlier post. Flamboro will probably have the best car counts of any weekly Ontario asphalt track this season but must cut down on the length of the show.
My 2008 Race Count: 9
My 2008 Track Count: 4 - New Smyrna (FL), Flamboro (ON), Humberstone (ON), Ransomville (NY)
Yah, I want to know how the #39 did too, a JCAR grad.
EDIT: Top five and current points are posted on www.canammidgets.com
ShortTrackFan you have said it right Flamboro by the looks of their car counts are the highest in the province for racing and yes they will have to change something whether it is changing the format (IE: cancelling consi;s ) which is not the best way to go but if you have to you have to.Another idea would be keep the same format and cut the lap counts on heat races.if Flamboros is 10 lap heat races you may have to go 8 lap races.Overall there is no reason why you cannot get all these races done in reasonable time.One question reguarding last night why was the CAN AM Midgets last on the program.Most tracks I have been to the Special Series cars features go before the regular shows.I have seen ARCA Trucks at Delaware go before the Delaware features,SOS Spints do features before regulars at South Buxton & Brighton.maybe the track should look at this or if their is a Special series race there(Flamboro) they may have to drop a class for that night.
taking 2 laps out of each heat would mean that there would be about 36 laps less. thats if theres 3 classes having 4 heats and 4cylinders having 6 heats. even if each lap was 20 seconds thats only taking 12 minutes out of the night.
