a few cars weren't there, or were there and had some issues....the 45 canadian heroes car wasn't there, chad mcglynn crashed in practice, the 19 car had the engine go in the hauler. that would have made it 18 cars, that's not bad for a touring series. i think the series is gaining steam, we've raced 5 times, 100 laps each race, no body panels replaced this year. the best three races i've seen all year have been oss races. both delly races and the mosport race were outstanding.

I don't care if we get Jacobs back, as long as we have a great race like tonights sportsman race, i have a feeling a new name will be added to the great list of winners, can't wait
About time somebody recognizes the fact that the LUCAS OIL SPORTSMAN CUP Series is a capable series for entertaining the fans. They got to see a great show without any bullshit...Kudos to all the teams for their efforts
every bit as good as the late model race on sunday,Id love to see a few more cars for that sportman series,I think they will get a few more as time goes on

Thats cool. Sure would like to know what these "surprises" are that John was talking about. Hope it wasn't all just hype. 
I thought I heard someone say that Kennington might have bagged a ride for tomorrow. Not sure on that though.
Oh there'll be some surprises, but not what you might think,,,, or for the reasons that you might think.

The 6 of Quarrie will not be racing just found more things wrong. We really wanted to be back but will have to wait till the 14th

Well I hope you are right! Just a few things though:
-haven't seen Powell since his disagreement with the black flag
-haven't seen Quarrie since his bad wreck at the Showdown
-Monaghan wrecked at Flamboro last couple of weeks ago. Has already said he wasnt coming
-haven't seen Windis since he wrecked early in the year
I think the rest will be there. There is also "Cox's second car
Raceguy
The black flag has absolutely nothing to do with why you have not seen Powell back. Cole was willing to except a bad call and move on until the email from the track wanting to discuss tech issues. Cole took his ASA motor and had it de tuned to 422 hp and then took it to the dyno picked by the track with Leon present. It was dynoed and sealed 422hp. Now the track is not good with it and wants him to run a additional 125lbs. After spending the money to have it de tuned he is not willing to take it back and re tune for more Hp to carry the extra weight. He has even offered to lately add 50lbs just as a compromise and to see if he can be competitive with the car . The fact is the last race his fastest time was a 19.3.. The track has not agreed to this, so there you go.
it all comes down to the race director, and who he listens to or not... seem to be a lot of back door deals that get blown up once at the track... who is the race director anyway? do they have one?

So if I understand you correctly R H you want oval bracket racing? As a fan I hate bracket racing but I can see some merit on the tech side. But if guys gain the 3/10 with setup and driving line how and why should you penalize that? Besides we are talking about a 1/2 mile track. You can have all the HP you want but if it won't turn it won't do you any good. Maybe the track should invest in a dyno. Check all the cars before the race and the top three after. That way guys can spend all they want on their motors but if they are limited to 425 or 450 hp and a given torque RPM number at the rear wheels then motor tech isn't needed. I know guys could do tricks while on the dyno but when you shut one door to a race team they will sneak in a basement window. Always been that way always will.

So this motor thing is just going to go on forever and the sportsmanship is going to get worse unless somebody starts thinking outside the box for a real solution and it is not everybody go buy the same motor because that will never work guess why.
Why?
Shadowracer Because as long as there are people in the motor rebuilding performance business you will never stop improved performance gains legal or not. So let them do it and forget trying to catch it. It’s a losing battle. In a perfect world maybe you could have everybody honest enough to not try to improve their motor but this is racing and you must know the story by now. This motor thing is everywhere with the same results. The crate motor has been a problem in one hand but great in another. The price is the plus and the rest is history so change it . We are losing people in this sport because of this and they are good hard working family’s that just want to race and have a fair shot at a win. Anyway breakout rule or not, something needs to change. P.S I don’t have anything against motor rebuilders. Let’s just say it’s all the moneys fault. LOL
