Autumn Colours Report - Friday October 10th

Guest · 2008-10-10T22:11:20Z

Those of you that missed tonight really didn't miss that much. The first round of heats was fairly uneventful but for a couple spins and a mini-stock into the inside wall in turn one. The car counts for Thunder, mini-stock and four fun were great. Think there were 35 Thunders, 6 heats ( so about 65 ) mini-stocks and I couldn't count the four funs. The back 40 field has more cars in it than I've see. There are still a few stragglers coming in and I expect more tomorrow and Sunday. I tried to get all of the drivers that were in attendance but it was impossible. I couldn't here the announcer that well and alot of cars have altered or lettered numbers. The only ones I know for sure are the late models. There are 18 late models ( 31 McWhirter, 36 Elliott, 81 Mercer, 70 (10) Morgan, 10X Gowan, 10 Balson, 71 McHattie, 77 Frenandez, 16 Kimball, 27 Box, 38 Hooker, 06 Wild, 9 Watson, 59 Slaughter, 95 Simone, 97 Cassidy, 5 Maroney, 88 Mitchell ) and I heard 84 Jackson and 15 Lynch may show up on Sunday. Looks like all cars make the show so a few more may show up on Sunday as well. The heats were won by McWhirter and Morgan. The Modified field was disappointing as only 9 cars took the green won by the Varney 12 of Maclean. Also heard the 46 of Darrin Kearnen will be there tomorrow. The Limited Late Model field was a bit better with 30 cars in the pits. The three heats were won by the 8 of Sauble's Jason Parker, the 7 of Tony Tiemersma ( driving the 2-time Autumn Colours winner of McWhirter ) and the 37 of Rick Walt. The Thunder car heats were pretty tame as well. Willie Ryens won one of them and the others were won by the 30 of Sauble's Davenport, the 77X of ?? and the 27 of ??. Couldn't hear the announcer. Sorry but again, due to the number changes and unfamiliarity with the cars, I can't give you much info on the mini-stock or 4-fun cars just that there are alot of them. Show was over just after 9pm so I suspect it could be an early night tomorrow as well. Another set of heats will take 3 more hour, last chances for 4-fun, mini-stock, Thunder and LLM another 2 as well as heats for the Oscaar Super Late Models at an hour and the Hurricane midgets show for about 30 minutes. That 61/2 to 7 hours so starting at 3:30 should be done around 10:30. One more note. The cheeseburger was especially delicious tonight. I will definately recommend. It ACTUALLY rivalled the Flamburger. And $48 in the pits for 3 days of racing ain't bad. Really looking forward to tomorrow.

No tracks have specials for the 4 cylinder classes that I know of. This is their invitational for the year. I never used to watch them that much but they are a real entertaining class now. And they are running pretty fast as well.

The 66 of Crowe was there, didn't do anything in his heat. The 89 of Feeney, he was running a mini stock the black 89 i think. The X car is sitting in my garage, didn't have the time to fix everything from last weekend. Pollock wasn't coming out and Connolly was over in Balsam's pits.
Heard a few of the driver's saying corner 3 and 4 on the high side was brutal trying to get some traction.
