i've made the decision not to build my car into an outlaw. it's bad enough with a 16v not being able to race places. i heard there will be a spec tire possibly, which will surely cost more money than the tires i run now...i will be very surprised to see the car counts in double digits and i don't see or hear anything that makes me believe that the track will be run any differently than it was last year.
i see payouts posted but that is only for the special events, i don't see sunset running races of these lengths week after week, so is that really what we will be paid or is it what will be paid out 2 or 3 times a year tops? what are the payouts for the rest of the weeks? it isn't even mentioned what regular payouts are like they don't exist. who is scoring and what has been done to eliminate the problems of last year?
i'm sure the guys who do this will do their best to make the division work and put on the best show they can but i'm not putting all of my eggs in sunsets basket, especially after last years debacle....

with the economy going in the dumps the last thing most people can afford is to double the money they spend on racing....i'd spend an extra 200 on a scoring unit to put in my car like at barrie. that is money well spent to have electronic scoring and time trials and such and eliminate the b.s. that would be progress IMO

and are these things gonna be allowed at fall colours?

I don't understand what you are talking about! all of our payouts have been posted for a long time. and if you check they are the best in Ontario...
So far 15 Outlaws registered not to bad so far..

Wes I'm sorry (( NO NEED TO BE SORRY JOE)) but for a while after the payouts were first posted it was only the specials there. I wasn't aware they had been updated. Thank you for updating them.
I hope the outlaw class prospers, 15 cars will be great, unfortunately i can't afford this new class right now. (( I FOR ONE HOPE THAT YOU WILL BE IN THIS NEW OUTLAW DIVISION, I WOULD LOVE TO SEE YOU RUN THERE)) I will race at Sunset this year in the mini division but mostly only the $500 to win shows. I'm not sure how the other divisions work compared to last year. (( JOE AS YOU KNOW THIS IS AN ENTRY LEVEL DIVISION, IF WE PAID MORE THAN THEY WOULD SPEND MORE)) But every event other than the specials the mini-stock are being paid less than last year. The special event payout is incredible, but the regular night win money is less than last year by over 30%. But there is only so much money to go around I realize and I appreciate your efforts even if I am outspoken on here sometimes.((JOE I LIKE SOMEONE WHO TELLS IT LIKE IT IS, AND IS HONEST)) The higher division payouts look nice
But what about the rest of the post? About the scoring and stuff? What is going to be done this year to improve the scoring?((JOE THERE WILL BE NO PROBLEM THERE, AS YOU WILL GET YOU POINTS ON HOW MUCH YOU EARN, $100=100 POINTS)) Will there be more people hired for that? Now the money is bigger we can't be having lapped cars scored in the top three this year or there will be chaos. (( JOE THAT SHOULD NEVER HAPPEN)) That is a concern of mine going into this year.....have you ever considered going to electronic scoring? I'd rather pay for that and use my own cheaper tires I feel it would improve the quality of life for the racers and take much stress away from the scorers....
Nice to see you participating in the boards Wes. When is the schedule coming out?(( JOE I AM WAITING ON SOME LARGE SPONSORS THAY SHOULD COME ON THIS WEEK)) Do you have the # of special events decided on yet?.....(( I BELIEVE THER IS TWO FOR THE OUTLAWS AND TWO FOR THE MINI STOCKS)) THANKS JOE Wes

Just noticed that in the video preview of different drivers on sunsets home page that they show a picture of Stompin Tom Walters. Does this mean that he will be racing at sunset this coming race season.Just curious.Does anybody know for sure?.

Is he still going to race kawartha on fri. nights?. I'm assuming by the video picture on the sunset homepage that he must have worked things out with sunset management and decided to race at sunset this coming year.Why else would sunset be promoting walters.

He is racing KD on friday nights foresure, Saturday shows are up in the air right now until that May date when the Sunset transaction is supposed to happen. It is actually a couple of KM closer for him to go to Peterborough from the shop than it is to go to Barrie and last i was at the shop he was leaning towards Peterborough. I asked about Sunset and he said "Lets see what happens"?

Its not about $$ Thayne, the only one who ever paid for him to show on a regular basis was Gord Coates and that is no hidden secret, JP also did it for an invitational once a couple of years ago because he had no cars coming.

Besides, lets say that someone wanted to pay for him to show, I wouldnt blame him for taking it, especially in this economy, wouldnt you take $$ to show up? I would!

betcha its not as reliable as being at the shop with Donaldson and Tommy tellin ya to your face?

But then again, how many years did we own the track and have Tommy announce that he was going to Peterborough that year and then show up opening night at Sunset?

When you have been around local short track racing as long as I have and as in depth as I have, you come across as being on drugs every once in a while! LOL! But that just goes to show you that expect nothing until you show up, until then, its nothing but rumours and speculation!

Seen it all too many times
