Nascar329...... dude he specifically asked for some positive posts. Has it really gotten that bad that we have nothing positive to say about racing in Ontario. Start your own thread and bitch for those who will listen, but dont hi-jack this cats attempt to bring the positive vibe back to racing in Ontario.
I don't think Lance will be out with the X car this year, he is spending all his time with his son Tristan and his 4fun car at the moment.
hey pipes, like the topic of something positive about racing. have been attending pete since 1969 as a fan and a driver. have seen some great racing there, have got to see some of the best racers in ontario in all sorts of series hone their skills at that track. i like running there,and will continue to run there when i feel like it. when i am not there i am not running else where, just taking some much needed family time. as far as other tracks , have also attended other tracks here in ontario,dirt and pavement and have seen some great racing at these venues also. not sure how to fix the pete problem, it is not a situation unique to just this track. varney, mosport, and ottawa all have the same problem drawing cars and barrie is getting better under new ownership. would love to see at least 15 cars in each division at pete but probably will never see that again. all i can do is try to be part of the solution and support this track and hope that things get better there.

Yes it has gotten bad & Promotors are most to blame; they put the Crate eng. in place to save $$ and that's gone down the tube with drivers taking this eng. and getting it modified "hence no longer everyone on same page"; tracks having TECH & no 1 is checked + some tech don't know what to look for & some tracks say not enough time to check cars.
You say give Promotors ideas to improve racing "what's the point they don't listen" !
Take JP 4 example he could get the LM'S back there (only run KD Fridays) and when Mosport has no LMS on a nite they off they could have another place to run.
My biggest beef is NOT having a Common set of rules that cars can run wherever they want on any given nite like it used to be way back when racing was good and TOP POINTS went to back for a Feature ............. now drivers say that causes wrecks that's a CROCK OF BS, maybe these drivers saying this can't drive unless they are out front .................. I sure do know that some cannot drive in traffic !
not tryin to be negative here but ........hey Boys and Girls its YOUR TRACK dint leave all the promotion up to the owner think of them more of a scheduler and a bill payer.........afterall how did Pete become THE BIGGEST RACE IN CANADA with the fall colours.........now I gotta go for now as I am planning on having a blast at Sauble tonight and am hoping a few straggler LLM will show up tonight in prep for the 150 sunday........throw an extra $20 IN THE TANK AND MAKE THE TRIP it WILL be $$$$$ WELL SPENT
