I made sure car 34 had a nice Cammo ribbon on the hood. Its the least we can do to thank those who serve. 

Thanks for showing your support, believe me when I say, we do notice and we do appreciate it! 🙂

The Fan!

i was disapointed with the pro-late model race.  lsot track of the number of cautions.  it was more like a demolition derby.  OK, my rant is over.  what can be done to ensure this type of "derby" doesn't happen again next year?  should they start fewer cars in the main feature? maybe have a "B" feature instead.  PTBO speedway has become a single groove track.  Is it time for the track to be resurfaced?

I just want to say that I was honored to run the Canadian Heroes hood on our car this past weekend.  I would like to do it again in 2012 but have some representation from our local military base and even some mobile units in the parade lap.  We are running the hood again this weekend at Flamboro for the Late Model Twin 50's.  Saturday at 3:pm races start, Sunday is the rain date.

The Pro Late Model feature should have been the most exciting race with over 18 great runners in the field from all over Ontario.  I have my thoughts on what happened and more importantly why.  On my web site I wrote a lengthy review on the race.  www.elliottracingteam.com (go to message board, then genreal chat, then click on Diary Of A Season 2011, it's on the last page....you may not agree with me, but it's the way I saw it before, during and after).  

I felt bad for the fans and the many first class racers in the show, I'm sure all or most of the drivers felt the same, not happy being in a race that was a huge let down.  Congrats to Dan McHattie and his team for taking the win.

I thought about the race today, and came up with the same idea that "raceready" did, that maybe less cars, and a B feature would help, but I'm not convinced that's the answer.

I think of all the Late Model specials I've been in, this one had the best overall line up.  Parsons, McHattie, Shaw, Mercer, Kennedy, Baker, Fitzpatrick, Watson, Kymball, Matthews, Cox, Gresel, Morgan, Shepherd, Box, Corcoran, Bailey, Jacobs are 18 of the 24 that started and everyone of these men are good racers...not to say any I left out are not, I was doing this from memory. It's too bad it wasn't a much better show.

ya it was a good weekend for racing and weather and just last racice of the year were everyone came out for a good time. just like every year but i think this year was better because it was so nice out

Did anyone happen to video the Thunder car feature??
