All in all pretty good race except for the last 20 laps or so until Dwayne started to run away with things some. Great qualifying with top 20+ cars within 1/10th of a second. I've have seen a lot of races over the last 45 years and in the last few years I have noticed something I'm sure other regular viewers have; LLM can beat Pro LM on a fairly regular basis which begs the question, if you can run a good LLM in Pro Events and spend less money (some at least ) why not do it? The facts are at Sunset over the last few years, Walters almost lapped the field in a Pro Event with his LLM; Sean Cronan I think, kicked some butt once and Walters more than once I believe. My bud Chris Morrow won a track championship running full time against ACT legal LM at Kawartha a few years back and that's a bigger track where horsepower can mean even more than Sunset. I think Mike Bentley won the PRO LM event last year or the year before at Fall Colours with his LLM.I understand the LLM cars get breaks on weights and such when racing against more powerful yet heavier cars which is supposed to make them more even. It seems they do just that. If I were a racer wouldn't I run a LLM and make the allowable changes to run it as a Pro LM when required? Just a fan's perspective.
