I'm still giving Jim credit for not making it any worse, and doing so conscious. The car only came on the gas a few seconds before I would've hit it in the door, and you could even see from the marks on the track, it came off the gas once it was down out of the groove. If he was un-conscious that was some real divine intervention for that to happen. He got out of the car on his own, although he was obviously shaken...
Someone might want to check with him before announcing his retirement. From what I've heard its was their plan for his son to run (another?) car this year. So why not give him seat time, from his son's performance last Friday, spinning out 3 times at speed where you should be easily sticking to the track, that car is really bent up and in no way a championship contending car for Jim to drive...

"ultimately it was Jim Remington getting the worst of it...and then out of anger he spun the car around and hit the wall again..very hard. after a clean up ...and completely re-start was called...to much of the same effect..as this time it was the #30 car getting spun hard into the inside wall," To clear that up, Remington didn't spin the car around out of anger, by then the rear axel was out of the car, and it was drifting up the track into the rest of us. Had he not hit the gas it would've been much worse for many of us, an experinced save on his part, not anger (athough the reason for it in the first place wasn't the smartest). As it was he still cliped me (#30) hard enough in the rear to break my axle, which resulted in the spin on the restart, not being spun out. Check out youtube for that and other highlights of the night. Ross Evans #30 Thunder

just hope they put the grandstand section back to corner 1 sometime soon. Sitting there baking in the sun is just not fun and the sound is not as good in the corner compared to the end of the front stretch section like in previous years. The sightlines for racing are good but man if that is where we are going to have to sit all season there's gonna be some serious heat strokes during the major events like the ACT and NCATS race.

kawartha never ceases to amaze me at how, more often than not, there is a ridiculously close finish at the end of a race

yup always double-file at Kawartha....every track should be doing double-file imo, on every re-start.

They do double up restarts all the time at KD,leader should be able to pick inside or outside the leader should never be penalized.Just my take.

Slapdown or anyone else : I noticed Kawartha using the double file restarts for the entire field in the Late Models - is it new for this season or did they use it last year? The NASCAR Canadian Tire Series and the ACT also use double file restarts.
They did a good job of moving the show along last night and probably would have got the Mini Stock feature in by curfew except for a couple of major cleanups.
My 2008 Race Count: 14
