Jackson still dominant at Kawartha

Guest · 2008-06-21T00:26:38Z

Larry Jackson is again the man to beat at Kawartha Speedway. Jackson took the checkers in tonights 100 lap feature but he was pressed hard by Dan McHattie. Jackson was at the front from the drop of the green but McHattie challenged him hard several times, including numerous side by side battles. McHattie was able to take the lead at one point but a flat tire mid-way thru the event put him pitside. McHattie charged thru the pack like he was shot out of a cannon and by lap 70 was again challenging Jackson for the lead. He again took the lead on a restart but Jackson took the point for good around the 75 lap mark. Bryan Mercer also made a great recovery from a flat tire to finish 5th. Dave Morgan has rebounded form a tough 2007 and finished 4th and young gun Brandon Watson shook the early season monkey off his back and finished 3rd. Also on hand driving a Brian Cathcart LM was Pete Shepherd III. Unfortunately he broke in the heats, as did Darrin Thring and Norm Mayhew. None of them were able to make the feature so only 21 of the 24 cars on hand took green. Some of the Capital City cars also made the trip. Winners in the other classes were LLM Vic Parsons and Mini 27 Mike Wallace. Sorry didn't see the Thunder winner but I'll guess either Mayhew od Rhynes. It looks like Lynch's decision to go to ACT rules 4 years ago is starting to pay off. 18 cars first night and 24 tonite ( all 18 from night 1 returned ). Also was a nice gesture to give free pit passes and gift certificates to the minis for having to call there race due to curfew on opening night. He also gave them 40 laps to boot. For those of you that are interested the LM on hand were84 Jackson, 71 McHattie, 9 Watson, 10 Morgan, 81 Mercer, 99 Brown, 31 MacPherson(CCS), 2 Baird(CCS), 01 Kimmerly, 29 Smith, 55 Thring, 13 Shepherd III, 60 Mayhew, 16 Kimball, 00 Munro(CCS), 7 Sinopoli, 88 Mitchell, 5 Maroney, 85 Powell, 77 Fernandez, 72 Peterson, 07 Baker, 17 Holtom and 10 Kirby.Another great night at the Downs. If you want to see some incredible racing KD is the place. The fight between Jackson and McHattie is worth the price of admission. Really looking forward to ACT in 3 weeks.

Hi there, just wanted to let you know that Brandon Watson will be racing at Kawarth on Friday, and heading on over to Capital City for Saturday, experience is everything!

was in perterborough area this weekend and went to the 100 lap lm invitational and was impressed with Brandon. He went to the outside when he couldn't get a hole in the inside. reminded me of Steve Munro. Hope he comes back to ottawa for the aug 10th race.
