Long afternoon/night at Peterborough...lotta yellows long intermission, started at 4pm ended at 9:45pm anyway onto the races.
4-Funs was won by #12 Andy McCann , clean feature few bumps and bangs.... first heat was a mess at the start though...it was a spread out start and they threw the yellow and the 09 just keepth racing and was banging into other cars and I dunno what he was doing..but Bob's reaction from the flag stand was priceless.
MS was won by #41 Tyler Junkin , clean feature again...few bumps and spins but nothing major.
LLM's had an impressive 17 cars...which is a lot for PTBO from the sounds of it lotta Sunset cars 03,47,6,19 ect. 97 from Barrie not sure who eles..but they ran all the "out of town" drivers in there own heat wich was a good idea to not mess with PTBO regulars in points.
2nd heat was wild ....all 5 cars were stuck in a tight pack and they got into a big mess in turn 3 and basically all 5 cars were involved..lol. everyone was able to come back.
Feature was ALL Walters he started around 14th and was leading by lap 10...and everything looked fine and dandy for the Walters he had a 1/4 track lead with less then 3 to go...then all of a sudden..I looked and there is Walters SPINNING! in turn-3 ..and Connolly was slow on the bottom with a RF flat..I'm not sure if when Walters was lapping her she hit him and got the flat tire..or it went flat just as he was lapping her on the outside and she hit him, and then behind some guys didn't see the yellow I guess and some did...because a bunch of cars ended up side-ways threw the grass ect.
Walters wanted his spot back they wound't give it to him...so he quit and drove to the pits, then I'm not sure what happend..but about a min later a bunch of people and officials all ran towards the pits...not sure if anything happened.
Then finnaly was time for the re-start after a long delay...and turn 1 was a mess..atleast 6-7 guys ended up spinning or in the grass or in the wall....... once again they re-stacked the field and restarted with a G/W/C ...and the last lap was a good one... the 55 of Dwayne Fullford was leading and slide up a bit outta 2 ...Donny Hart stuck his nose in there made contact both guys got side-ways but saved the cars and would finish that way.
OSCAAR Feature was won by Jeff Hanley for his 3rd win in a row,
best word for this race was "Revenge" nobody would let anything go,
it started on lap 1 when the 23 got into the 57..and just a few laps later he caught back up and just ran into the back of the 23 causing more problems for himself cutting a tire down and causing a yellow.
Now skip ahead a bit later gettting close to half-way I would say 70,88,22 were pulling ahead..and the 7,49 were battling..and then Rob just RAN IT into turn 3..nailed the 7 ....Derrick spun around and hit the wall hard. The officals must have talked it over and then made the decision to DQ Clark and send him to the trailer, not sure I agree with the call but also don't disagree ...beacuse Clark really ran it hard into turn-3 not sure what he was thinking...but then again it's a tight track and accidents happen.
Then one of the crazit things I ever seen...as the 23 of Milligan littlary climbed the wall on the back stretch...and I mean he was WAY up there..like if the car ended up getting stuck on it's side or fliped I wound't have been surprised..but the car came back down and he continued on with NO PROBLEMS! not even a flat tire or nothing and he only lost like about 2 spots.
anyway skip ahead a bit further...the 22 hits off the 88 goes trew the grass comes back up and then just dives it into turn 3 and spins the 7T...well just after we go back to green the 22 passes the 7T and then heading into 3 ..Dunford gets his payback as he spins the 22 and ends up in the wall himself. ends up needing to be towed off..but got the BlackFlag on the way off..so officaly he should be down as a DQ as well.
skip ahead closer to the end...heading into turn-3 the 20 spins the 52..well re-start G/W/C ....and on the last lap..you guessed it heading into turn-3 20 trys to pass the 52 on the outside and Gordon turns right and spins him...Chenoweth was not happy and he went right over to the 52 to exchange some greetings. So I would assume the 52 is going to go down as a DQ as well...but un sure as that happened after the checkers already flew to Hanley.
top-3 was 70-Hanley,88-Woolsey,27-Passer with a great run coming home 3rd.
18 SLM's started..I think 10 or 11 finished. 03 started on the pole and lead for a bit but had some kind of issue. 03,23,2,7 all DNF & 49,7T(52?)DQ
Overall was a pretty entertaining night..took a bit to long OSCAAR race got annoying for a wile way to many yellows, but it's just the nature of the beast so to say....cars are so fast and everyone wants the bottom and if you see a whole you gotta go for it..hence why so many spins...it's a short turn around week for OSCAAR and come Friday..I'm sure there will be a few guys missing and maybe some ongoing feuds between some guys...we shall see what happens!
