LOL.. I wonder if the day change has to do with it being nearly freezing! this year

should be a great show no dount..... and assuming that's going to be a sunday afternoon event, they will have no issue with possible curfew problems(not like they did this year..but if the race were to become caution filled it could have got close)

you're right - it would have been long if we had a lot of cautions-I think we were fortunate we didn't. It was kind of rare last season to see a 200 lapper where cautions didn't count (at least up to a certain point). Interesting that ACT runs a 12 race series where you can throw out your worse two finishes regarding year end points/championship. I think the Oxford 250 is a series race so I guess this rewards loyalty when 100 cars show up and it might be hard to make the show.

No, Oxford is not part of the 12 race schedule.

my error Scroad-thanks for catching it. It's on the overall schedule but is a non points event

hopefully (not sure how many tracks cars can covert to run ACT Rules) but be nice to see more Ontario cars try to make the race with it being on a sunday....should also help bring up the mini's/TC count if they run them as well along side ACT.

Moving the race to July ... will no longer have to worry about calling it the "FrostFest 200".

Only negatives may be some American teams may pass on it with the new best 10 out of 12 races counting for the ACT title and it being a week before the Oxford 250 so some drivers may skip it to save their cars.

My 2007 Race Count: 48

Next Up: December 1-2, 40th Snowball Derby: Five Flags Speedway (FL)

My 2007 Track Count: 19 - New Smyrna (FL), Volusia (FL), Bristol (TN), Toledo (OH), Delaware (ON), Flamboro (ON), Merrittville (ON), Kawartha (ON), Humberstone (ON), Ohsweken (ON), Sauble (ON), Cayuga (ON), Ransomville (NY), Albany-Saratoga (NY), Oxford Plains (ME), Barrie (ON), Little Valley (NY), Wyoming County (NY), Winchester (IN)

Yes but let's remember that the Sizzler was prior to the final NASCAR race and it was till warmer at the NASCAR event. So we can't control the weather here in Canada!!!LOL

What exactly is the rule though? Do they get show up points? Do they have to run all 12 to be allowed to throw out the 2 finishes?

They do not need to run all of the races to be championship-eligible.
However, they do need to run all of the races to be eligible for any provisional starting position, should they fail to qualify for an event.
