Capital City ACT August 9, 100 laps

[chassisdynamic]

I invited Ontario fans to comment the Saterday race.

Hard conditions, 22 yellows, probably more than 100 laps on yellow. Agressive driving. Majistral spin out for Ken Baird in front of the stand whitout yellow. 5 times recovery from the back to top ten for Ken Baird. The last time, he was 6th, expecting a podium when Dery, trying and unhable to pass, spun him, with the consequence that another car hit Baird. The right front suspension was damaged, the tire was perforated and also the radiator. Baird finished finaly slowly in 13 place.

Comments from 2 Quebec racers: sick and too much agressive. My comment on that, we cannot starting five times from the back to recover in the top 10 without incomoding anybody. Baird was lighted because the car was so fast.

Unfortunatly for the Kenyons, Dragon was close to win, but the rear end of the car was damaged and desaligned, getting hom out of victory.

Great win for Martin Lacombe after so many lost wins recently. His last race, he was in front èa St-Félicien when he went out of gas.

Great race for Claude Leclerc who ran third all the night before a spin in the back straight.

Since I was concentrated on Baird's car, I lost some events on the track from others. i would like to read some coments on performanced of other racers.

Great run for Brandon Watson on his first visit to the track. He's really turned around his rookie LM season after a bumpy start.

Anyone know what happened to Larry Jackson and Steve Munro?

Jackson got spun early on and for whatever reason ACT did not throw a yellow flag, don't know why,and he went a lap down because he was sitting in the middle of the lane to get off the track, major safety issues, and then he pulled off after 50 laps.

That must have been maddening for Ricky RUmp as he got spun out into the infield.  His car seemed hooked up and he would have came 2nd if they would have thrown the yellow.  But he was 1st car lap down, but finished 2nd in finishing order.

Munro broke some rear end parts as when he was coming off it was dog legging like crazy and you could see the rear-end moving around.

How come the # 71 LM McHattie wasn't there + some of the other LM's, was it not 1 of the 100 lappers they have to attend for points

it was a points race as far as that combined kawartha-ccs invitationals thing was concerned but not actual kawartha speedway points.

maybe the rain kept em away?

Motor mouth said that when ricky was running behind the leader he was not in 2nd place because he was down a lap at that point and I think that was before his spin.
Baird spun closer to that tire barrier than he ever wants to again I bet.
I found the cautions inconsistent. At times he wanted the car(s) to clear and keep going (especailly in the heats) and then he'd throw the yellow when the car actually did get going quickly and the yellow could have been avoided. Many of the cautions had false restarts that almost caused more wreck. Is it normal to have only 1 ACT person on the flag tower?

It was never really rescheduled. promotor mentioned it to someone who posted it but he decided not to have it on the 10th. Appears that there is no makeup date for that race.
