We’ve been working on our Modified on weekends only and that’s been keeping us from getting where we should be by now, but I do like what and how we are doing the rebuild. Some additions this year include a sand blasted and powder coated chassis, new rad, new fuel cell, new gauges and tachometer as well as new switches.
Our engine is being rebuilt and should be done in 2 weeks. Once the Modified is completed we will start on the Late Model.
David and I will share the Late Model driving this year and run for the Flamboro Late Model Championship…….more soon…..thank you for visiting our site.
50th Full Season Anniversary

We have more to announce soon, including sponsor news…..our new paint scheme will be unveiled soon.

Modified Chassis Out for Sand Blasting and Paint
Two weekends ago Louie and Stephen came by to finish stripping the Modified, leaving just a steel frame. Last Wednesday Louie and I made a dolly out of ply would and casters to move the chassis around.
It’s now at Rival Sand Blasting in St.Catharines, then will get powder coated after.
Next step is to clean and double check all the parts going back on.
I will soon be posting our OSCAAR Modified schedule.

Shop Clean UP….Sort Through Awards…
Special thanks to Jeff Warnes for coming to my place a few times over the past few weeks to do some cleaning and purging of trophies we’ve won over the years. Looks like we didn’t get rid of many, and we’ve given away a few in the past 2 years. We did fill a plastic container with trophies to be given out.
Thanks for visiting our site.
Found The Cause For The Rattle In The Car
Well, it is down to the bare bones now. We wanted to do a face lift on our Modified and go for the Championship in 2018, our 50th year.
Louie has been a great help getting the car stripped. We already have a new fuel cell, rad and electric fan, and we will order many other new parts before the car is ready to race.
More pictures soon as we make progress.
