 Hey Spencer, spun bearing, Poor Donny helps me out and blew it up. He felt pritty bad and is going to help re-build it. I told him not to worry about it but he insists on helping out. He's a class act, really helped me out.

i couldnt beleive how many people have told me theyre coming, naturally with racecar drivers and promises everything needs to be taken with a grain of salt, but overall things are looking very promising for this sunday.

I and four other people travelled to the Autumn Colours as spectators, yes I know one driver there pretty well but I travelled the summer to different tracks watching the Canadian Tire Series strictly as a spectator.  For those that felt there were no spectators other then race family's not true.  Yes the majority were as family supporters but when I left the mini feature at the end there was still a decent crowd watching considering the time spent there during the day.  As for Walters jumping the restarts and yes I said jumping the restarts it was ridiculous to watch.  I was just waiting for the restart where he would take out half the field due to his tactics, luckily he didn't.  As for Mcwhirter, it was obvious from qualifying he had the most dominant car and didn't need to use the chrome horn to get up through the field.  The reason you saw him under the rear bumper a number of times was due to the break checks going on in front of him and having to worry about bonzia walters on his restarts, cause if he didn't get a quick start Tom was coming through him.

Considering the packing of 2 days of racing into one I'd say the track did a above average job for getting everything done.  I've definitely seen worse organization with smaller events.  The officiating was difficult to understand due to the inconsistency of calls.  Will I go back, absolutely!!!  It's too bad the racing season had to end.

He did'nt go until the green was out, Thats not jumping, thats racing! Without a doubt the 31 had the fastest car this weekend, but he was using his bumper at every turn until he got out front! I just don't see what makes that so right, and Walters going underneath him after the green flag flew, so wrong!

don't think anyone was saying the 31 was right.......  I'm not somebody that is so against using the "bump & run" or using the "crowm horn"  once in a wile...but it's not necessary to do it right from the start to every car every turn, then again it was either luck or skill or a little of both...that he ran threw all those cars and did not spin a single one.

oh well it was not just him not showing any pacition it was everyone...and I think with more and more caution flags and once they started to count..and just made everyone run even harder beacuse it was getting near the end.

Walters diving in the infield to pass on a restart in turn 3 isn't jumping the start!Get your head out of your, well you no.It was just brutal.

I agree that Walters was jumping the starts, he started going just before they got into turn 3, but there is supposed to be a restart line and there isn't...although if they wanted to prevent it, keep your car on the damn bottom so he can't get under you...and as for the green coming out, i think it was a bit early, was it still bob the oscaar flagman? wouldn't be surprised as he had a useless night, causing a couple accidents.  The worst thing i saw on the restarts was walters sitting in 3rd..sitting back then stomping it and hitting the brakes, thats what causes wrecks, and only the leader should dictate the pace.

At Peterbourgh there is NO green light and there is NO restart line.  You start racing when the starter puts the green flag out.  Walters did it twice perectly then after they warned him for no reason about it they changed the starter back to Bob  "king of all flaging". Not sure who the first guy was.

I will say it again on the second restart Walters was on the infield passing in 3,so how low do you want them to go.He was passing on restarts because his car wasn't capable of passing the cars in front of him.

I will give him credit for doing it. No one esle was. At best the left sides were on the curb.  I say it was a smart move by him and probly his spoter too.
