Discussion

PLEASE NOTE: There is a 150 word maximum for comments. All comments greater than 150 words in length will be deleted in their entirety.

ALSO NOTE: Derisive name-calling of an individual or group will result in the entire comment being deleted. This includes the terms "stupid" and "idiot" and similar references.

Welcome to our new online comments feature. Before you can join the discussion, you must first register with Disqus and verify your email address.

Once you do, your comments will post after they have been reviewed by a moderator.

We welcome your thoughts and your opinions, including unpopular ones. We ask only that you keep the conversation civil and clean.

Not all comments are deemed printable. Some are disqualified, at the newspaper’s discretion, for a number of reasons. Here are some typical practices to avoid in trying to get your comment printed:

There is a 150 word maximum for comments. All comments greater than 150 words in length will be deleted in their entirety.

Don’t state as a fact something that is unsubstantiated or that our editors wouldn't know to be true.

Don’t presume someone’s guilt in a case when it hasn't been established by a court.

Don’t assail or impugn an identifiable individual or group. If you have that kind of criticism, sign your name and submit it as a Letter to the Editor. (There is some leeway on this in connection with public officials, but it is not unconditional.)

Don’t use profanity. This includes the term “tea bagger.”

Don’t be incendiary or tasteless. Those qualities are subjective, of course, and our editors will be the arbiters.

Do not identify yourself in the main content area of the article content form. Only by enforcing this rule can the moderators prevent unscrupulous commenters from falsely identifying themselves as someone they are not.

Don't type in all caps. It is considered the Internet equivalent of shouting.

In sports articles, do not criticize officiating.

Remember, moderators are not allowed to edit any article comments. If an article comment fails any of the above criteria, the entire comment will be deleted.

We monitor comments Monday - Friday, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, 2 p.m. to 8 p.m. Approval of comments outside these times may be delayed.

Renegades to be featured

PLATTSBURGH -- It's the Versatile Trailer Sales Renegades' turn to try their hand at extra-distance competition Saturday, July 12 at Airborne Speedway as the eight-cylinder, stock suspension cars are slated for the 40-lap Higher Peaks Dental Mayor's Cup Special.

When Keith O'Neil of Mooers drove to his first career-win last Saturday, the Renegades went their customary 25 laps. Set-ups and tire wear issues may be magnified in the Mayor's Cup event. O'Neil got to the front on lap 3, went unchallenged on a mid-race restart and led runner-up Joe Daniels to the line by five car lengths.

Lonnie Rivers of Morrisonville regained the top spot in the Renegade championship point standings with a third-place finish. Rivers leads Lance Rabtoy of Fairfax, Vt., 307-304.

If last weekend's J&S Steel Sportsman 100 was any indication, the Renegades will respond to the extra-distance race with a race to the wire in the Mayor's Cup Special. Shawn Duquette won Saturday's Sportsman 100 with Richie Turner and Bucko Branham perched on his back bumper.

The Higher Peaks Dental race card will also include the Ernie's Tools Modifieds, J&S Steel Sportsman, Keeseville NAPA Auto Parts Warriors and Monster Energy Bombers.

Gates open Saturday at 4 pm. Qualifying heats begin at 6 p.m. Admission is $10/adults, $3/kids 6-12, $20/Family (two adults, two kids). Children age five and under admitted free of charge.

Trim places 10th in

Adirondack feature

BREMEN -- Morrisonville's Bryant Trim came in 10th Saturday in the 76-lap feature at Adirondack Speedway after turning in the fastest time in the TJ Toyota of Potsdam time trials.

Lee Gill won the main event for Late Models with John Papin, Jerry Dineen, Erik Cupernall and Zach Arthur rounding out the top five.

Trim, with a time of 16.017 seconds, narrowly edged Gill, who was timed in 16.018, in the time trials.

J.R. Mooney won the True Stocks 20-lap feature, Tim Dunn took the checkers in the 15-lap Sport Compacts feature, and Gregg Roes raced home first in the 20-lap main event for Light Trucks.
