im just going to make a stab at this one, but id guess the #91 was probably Scott McGillvery (Sp.?) in the Shear Metal Products car. He ran at Flamboro last Saturday night in the Triple Crown event too...
Yes #91 was Scott MacGillivray
It was a pretty good race to watch. I think Shaw used up his stuff getting back to the front. He looked a little tight at the end and couldn't get under the 77. It was nice to see the 02 come back and try to challenge for a top 3 at the end. He ended up 4th, but still a good run as he ended up bouncing off the wall once and almost riding up the wall on another occasion. Sheridan looked strong too but ended up a little further back as he was involved in a caution or 2. Hooker looked strong in the first half of the race. I think the handle went away in the car in the 2nd 75 laps.
Might have been a little more interesting had they done double file restarts all night long instead of 1-2-3 double up. But all in all a pretty good race. I expected it to a be a little more boring, but I was proven wrong.
Shadowracer reason Hooker was no show Friday would not surprise me that seeing he was going for $3000.00 to win and $400.00 to start that he passed on Delaware where all you are getting is a smash and bang it seems when you go there this year so far and if not mistaken it looked like Verhoeven was there also who if not mistaken missed Friday also.Maybe this is a message to Delaware which is the elite of Short Track Racing in Ontario if not Canada that if things donot change with the racing style there (LM) fields could get smaller there as remember it costs to fix these machines and money is getting harder to find.Hope not as Delaware puts on a great show every Friday night.
Well, word around the pits is that Verhoeven is "playing it casual" this year and isn't seriously gunning for Delaware points, much like Sheridan did either last year or the year before.
Hooker had a bad night last time around, finding himself out with mecahnical problems around lap 5 of the 142 lapper and didn't make it back out. That seriously puts him behind the 8 ball for NASCAR points, as he effectively blew 3 races in one night...and nothing to do with any rough driving.
I've watched every LM race this year and have not noticed a whole lot of rough driving. Past years have been a lot worse, to be honest. Even at the Partsource race, most of the cautions were just from either impatience or bad luck...and no one really wrecked huge that night except for Gary Elliott in one incident and McLuskey/Delisle in another.
Not saying there's no rough driving, but there's not an alarming amount of it. I'm not a driver so I could be off base, but I dont imagine its the reason anyone would stay away.
