Glenn what's a really good time there for your car?

Let us get the car right first then I will tell you 🙂

We did get into a 12 last year though so confident if we all setup in time trial trim we'd have no problem getting there again

I take a chance of being called a whiner, and I'm okay with that because I love this sport and I think I have to say this.  I love watching good races in all classes. It's important for me as a racer to bring a nice looking competitive car, and race it with respect so fans are entertained. Fans are far more educated and observant than some racers give them credit for. They are the life blood, for the track, sponsors and for us to be able to race every week.   Here's my take on last nights show.

It's quite an insult to imply that 10 very fast Pro Lates lost the set up.  They were running the same times they did the past 2 years for the first 4 Pro Late Shows.  Last night was proof of how far racing has gone backwards.

The last time Jason Shaw got beat that bad, (and he had a good car),  was running against ASA cars in Pittsburg.

These shows have lost their credibility when one car can lap every car in the field but the second place car who also lapped the field.  

Good for Tom, he is a Champion no doubt, but not good for the sport to see 15 of Ontario's best cars so far off the mark,  and then told they missed the set up.  

What happened last night wasn't good for our sport, and the proof of that will be if 24 cars show up next time.  If they all come back, then yes, everyone admits they were out to lunch, if they don't come back, then we'll know it's because a 2 or 3 hour drive, over $1000 and a day off work to be embarrassed is likely not going to happen again to these teams.

14:1, or 14:3, is not times of a Pro Late Model, especially with a 602, and I don't know anyone who goes to a race 3 or 4 tenths off the pace and is willing to spend all the money and wear on their equipment and have "no chance to win".

Delaware a few years ago had a Crate program that became a mess because the Ford engine was clearly dominant. Rather than make the Ford add more weight, or run a 2 barrel or whatever it took to bring parity, the track decided to allow all the Chev Crates to modify their engines.  So, instead of $5500 for a 604 it was $10,000.  Now the Chevs' were closer to the Ford, but the following year the car count dropped by 40% until in 2011 they had the worst car count in Ontario. They have since changed some rules to get more cars and now the stock 604 is much more competitve.

If our sport is going to survive, we need to have parity in racing.

My daughter may be my biggest fan and she was so disgusted with the race she left when the 3rd place car got lapped, with about 20 to go.  When asked by one of the employess about the race she said it was the worst that she had seen ever, she was referring to how not competitive the race was.

Our sport took a hit last night, and not for the good. I hope someone can change it soon.

Gary guess you didn't get it I was being sarcastic in saying that thay missed the set-up.

I saw elsewhere that Jamie Cox finished 5th.
Were there problems with scoring, or was there an issue in tech?

Website has Cox finishing fifth, Derek. I guess there was a scoring problem 'cause they put Laking (44) in sixth.
