Title: How Many Cautions?
Post by: Scott on August 10, 2008, 09:39:08 PM
So here we go! The 50 lap mad dash for $1000.00 for the Thunder invite. How many cars will be allowed in the Feature, and how many cautions will there be. My prediction - 30 cars in the feature, and 15 cautions. If you are the lucky dog to start out front you may just go home $1000.00 richer. Should be a whole lotta fun!!!

True...But 1000$ is alot of money...specially this time of season...it would help out alot of guys...at the frosty they have all winter to get money for next season...

Post by: 3-Wide on August 13, 2008, 12:18:43 PM
I think the question is....how many cars will be there?

I'm guessing around 22-24
Title: Re: How Many Cautions?
Post by: SSW-BSW-FAN on August 13, 2008, 12:53:10 PM
I think there will be a decent number of cars...we'll have the regular Sunset cars...plus Kawartha and who ever can take the night off at there home tracks!!

Should be a good turn out even if Barrie Cars can't make it!

I know 5 or 6 cars from  Sauble are coming and they are sacrificing a points night to be there too.
Title: Re: How Many Cautions?
Post by: daisygirl818 on August 13, 2008, 01:04:02 PM
I think that Barrie cars may still come at least a few of them. I hope so anyway.

Oh more then lickly who ever either really wants the money...or they guys that arn't in it for points, or arn't in the points running, will probably show...

Either way should be interesting to watch!! Can't wait!!
Love those Thunders!! <3

How many regualer TC's does Sunset have?  18? or so.....  I guess adding in 2-4 from here & there...ect.  It should be a great field could be close to 30 cars

starts at 7 correct? not 6:15?  I just want to make sure..so I don't miss anything.

I've never been that early either, but I was talking to a lady in the booth about it ages ago when I came at like 5 one day and she was saying that now they open at 1pm. Again, I also haven't been there that early, but she said it clears up the line so nobody has to wait (like some of us did for almost an hour one night.)

Ya'know I'm thinking the whole night could be a little wild..from what I'v notised at tracks...any time theres mutiple weeks off..for whatever reason..everyone comes back so amped up...and ancy...that wild things are bound to happen ;)


regardless the best news is there not calling for ANY rain Saturday..but we'll wait and see....lets just all hope.

No I'm not, and it's too bad as I had a ball when I came up last year for the frosty.

I was realy looking forward to coming back I just missed the show last year with the wrong gear, old tires and a junk motor. I feel like I have some unfinnished business to tend to at Sunset.

I'm looking forward to my first ever trip to Barrie (one of the last tracks in this part of the province I'v never raced anything at) in the fall and of corse Autmn Colours (we're already looking forward to that on the drive home from it each year!!)
