I voted if spence says it's ok it must be as I haven't been there in over 7 years or more.

I saw some good racing there. Cheap price to watch some busted up cars but it was good.

It was OK 7 years ago but much like the girl I dated in high school that called me up 7 years later to hook up, I soon discovered she had gained 75 lbs and grown a moustache.

Spencer will be Prime minister at 21 l'm with the kid all the way he's a phenom and like all good lawyers he would not know the truth if it hit him in the face.He's wasting his talents in that announcers booth,can he drive a Bulldozer. Seven years ago Sunset was the king and Spencer was 12

There has definitely been some great racing at Sunset over the years! I am saddened to see the attendance, IMO, taking a serious, and steady decline over past years. I have no hard facts to base this on (haven't taken the time to count or anything), just my observations. I, for one, would be very excited, and appreciative to the owners, and management of Sunset, if they would take the time and initiative to step up the maintenance at the track. It is great that people living in the "Barrie Area" have 2 tracks to choose from, and competition between the two is healthy, and expected. The downside to this competition is that right now, Sunset has fallen terribly behind Barrie from a 'venue' point of view. I'm not saying anything about any of the drivers, there are skilled, and unskilled at every track. It would be a sad, sad day to see one of our tracks fold. It's a wonderful thing to have a choice. It's a fact, you have to spend money, to make money. If it's important to 'the powers that be' at Sunset, they will make improvements to their facility so that the spectating experience will be more comfortable. Here's hoping.......

I have no problems with Sunset...i think the racing is okay...the track is faster than Barrie (i truned more RPM) so I did enjoy the racing there....but to be honest...two years ago when i was picking one of the two tracks....i didnt know about car quality, etc. i just picked Barrie because it was the nicer of the two facilities.

What I would love to see is 1. Sunset management realize what they have and put some cash in the right places. 2. Sunset (or Barrie doesn't really matter which one) one of them switch their night then put their heads together and stop competing against each other and have one running Friday night and the other Saturday. Then there would be drivers going to both tracks and it would be like some kind of mini series every weekend. That would rock...

I know this would never happen even if God intervened but it is a nice theory. They have common rules for Sunset, Mosport, Kawartha and some other tracks so there has been collabaration between promoters for some things. The market is big enough in this area, it can support two tracks why not sort it out and get it done.

I liked the racing at Sunset, I've said it before. It may not be as fast but it is good tight racing nonetheless.

Ok if they put money into it and raised the price to get in a lot of people would talk about the prices are too high.

For a smaller track like that to fix it up they would have to raise gate prices and food prices.

We as raise fans have to understand we can't have the best of both.

Despite Spencer's harsh words and bitter criticism of my good self and other racing experts,he was man enough to offer us 2 complimentary passes to Sunset as a gesture of his good will plus an apology to be written on this forum stating that the fans were right and he was wrong. He knew that despite his 2 or is it 3 years in law school he could get a subpoena to halt this poll.I offered 1 complimentary pass to Pinecrest and he told me to stick it were the Sunset don't shine? So if they haven't bulldozed the place by Saturday we will be up in the tower me and my new found pal,maybe he will let me do some co-commentary whilst he does a few chores.

Think again it has been tried and since people are expressing there opinions they have lost.

Please don't involve the board in your fights. People come here for news, stats, to express their opinions and just talk racing.

I hate wasting my time with people emailing me and saying if the post/poll is not removed I will take legal actions against you. Read the terms you agreed to when you signed up.

I hope people don't take this thewrong way but it happens and just wanted to point this out.

Thanks
