My thoughts exactly...I thought more of the guys from CCS would've came out, or even someone like Steve Robblee, who has ACT-legal equipment around here....

not a bad race...would have like to see a bit of a closer finish, not half a track lead or w/e he had...but congrats to Patrick on the win...running 200 laps on 1 set of tires is impressive and the car looked stuck to the track even near the end.

was expecting a few more cars, but still a nice field.....I found it funny, soon as I seen Sinopoli hit the track in the 2nd heat, I turned to my dad and said....well he's gonna wreck half the field in turn 1...well turn 3 he almost did!

looked like he took it easy in the feature though wich was good.

anyone know what happend to McCattie? beacuse to me he looked to be the best Kawartha car in there,and from what I seen he might have had a shot at the win.

once I hurd they messed with the Sizzler format I was iffy on the whole deal, well after tonight it has it's pros and cons new way v.s the old way. what I'd like to see next year is have the summer sizzler back like it use to be (open comp....3 segments) and then have the ACT race a different thing in it's self.

I was also expecting a bit of a bigger crowed, something more like Kawartha's had on OSCAAR nights..but guess the cold & $$ kepth some people away.

With the way the rules package is (and presumably how it's going to be, if what the word is is true) I don't know if you'd get many Flam-Del-Sau competitors anymore to run Kawartha...

decided to skip Oshweken as I knew that show would run long (A main finished after midnight) and went to KD. (Feature ended at 9:40 and back in Burlington by 11:30 was great) Only negative I could see (and I'm sure Tom Curley was likely yelling) was that there was only one tow truck that I could see in action! If a car had to have been double hooked, it may have been a problem. Seemed to take them way too long to get the Brown-Mayhew wreck off the track. Surprised a few more Quebecois were not there, but maybe their haulers are only good for the two hour run to Ottawa or Barre-LOL.
Truly sad that the LM tracks in this province can't agree on rules packages (even Flammy and Delaware run different tires -wheels) and when crates are encouraged, they can't even seem to agree on what hp crate to use

I was watching from the concrete block that covers the transformer in the infield (behind the green building), and there were two tow trucks back there, they just only ever seemed to need the one. Pretty impressive race, seems like about every LM race I have seen, every third guy is driving over his head trying his damndest to wreck the so-and-so who tapped him 30 laps earlier.

Apparently the guy who normally drives the 99 couldn't get over the border because of a criminal record, just something I heard third hand, Mike Mccoll called Vanderwyst while he was golfing lol, everyone was impressed with how he ran, considering he got introduced to the car 7 hours earlier.

I can't recall who won the first heat ...I know Linc Brown won the 2nd and bealive Brian Hore won the 3rd (again I'm not sure I kinda forget... $:-\$ )

I know there was some people around taking photos...Dave Franks was there, so I'm sure you'll see photos from him shortly

Robbie Thompson won the first heat with eventual winner Laperle right on his bumper.

The Ottawa promoter said at the last race he hopes to have 2 ACT races next year and OSCAAR. One would hope he might have the OSS as well.
