fun 4's were fun...a tempo of all things won
limited lates, good race...
thunders/super stocks, good racing...
supers, on a small track like this u get what u get...
modifieds race, i like these cars but should have shortened their race with low count and show running late...
pro late models, awful...wrecking as they took the green including taking out star attraction JR Fitz...wrecking every 5 laps...this race saw many leaving at the half way stop as it just sucked the life out of people...so many good cars damaged...on the restart only maybe 5 were running decent as they hadnt been in something by this point...
mini stocks put on a great race, lots of passing and 3 wides, its too bad 1/2 the fans had left...
unfortunately 2 cautions needing delay for an ambulance, a delay for a fan in the grandstand needing assistance...
announcers said they were going to have time limits , then when time expires add 2 laps then race is over...then changed that to counting cautions...then changed that to counting only the first 5 laps of caution....then the pro lates race they ran 10 laps caution with non counted...then they decided final 5 laps had to be run green...it was getting comical...
plus during the afternoon sitting in the turn 4 grandstand the whole thing shook big time, we thought it was going down for a second...a few moved and we were all looking down at the supports, no one saw anything, a few cracked a joke or two, but there was no where else to sit since the place was full so we hoped for the best..lol
best part was the weather, one thing everyone around get saying around me, atleast were not freezing are butts watching this....

Not a problem on the updates at all

4 Fun - pretty good race

LLM - Not bad at all as it was nice to see Mitchell win after last year's deal.

TC - Nicely won by Rick Walt and watching him and Matt was pretty decent, too. Sucks that Randy got the black flag in there at some point, but he put on a show coming back through the field.

OSCAAR - Hope Al Thomson isn't too badly hurt as that was definately a scary deal. Glenn Watson proved why he is the 2011 OSCAAR Champion as he led flag-to-flag, dominating. Congratulations to Glenn Watson and the entire #22 Watson Racing team on the championship! As the same with the thundres,you had Baker coming from the back after his incident and that added to the fun, there.

OLM - Once again, the cautions were a joke but I guess that's what you expect when you come to Autumn Colors, right? The deal of lap down cars and lead lap cars was frustrating, too, but there was no question that Dan McHattie had the top car of the night so way to go Dan!

MS - Craziest, insane race of the night with the leaders coming through traffic battling - Fice, the 34, Marooney, Junkin, Lees. Also exciting watching Lance Foster work his way up to sixth after starting near the back. Congratulations Daryl Fice on the win and on the awesome burnout afterwards.

Here is a quick video from the OSCAAR feature, with 2 cams mounted on the 22 of Glenn Watson. Unfortunately the roof cam didn't co-operate but the second one did!

It's not the entire race, but gives you a different perspective!

Thanks Derek,

It was Josh Watson's doing, to mount the rear camera view. We tried it at Sunset for the Velocity but the Rear Cam failed, and the roof cam got a good oil spray and loaded up with speedy dry.

Maybe next year we can try it again.

Hey Dan, send me that smoker shot and I'll put it on the front of my web site. All that smoke was me just maing sure I got out of the way of cars I thought were right behind me.

My spotter said after "buddy, you had lots of room, no one was near you....hope you brought extra money we'll need more tires".
