Nevin Scott #19….We Battled For Most of The Race July 18th
“All I could see was this big Quaker State logo in my mirror” stated Nevin after the race. He held me off for many laps, and in the end after both of us pitting a few times I still couldn’t pass him but sure had fun trying.
Our next race is August 15th at Petty International Raceway.

Good Night At Petty International Raceway July 18th….11th Place Finish
We had a good run on Saturday night at Petty International Raceway. A full field was on hand, 25 fast Pro Late Models. We started 25th and stayed out of trouble finishing 148 laps and claiming 11th place.
In this picture courtesy of “Ernest Pothier photos”, I battled all night with #19 Nevin Scott. We had some good moments compared to our first night, radios were great, crew were awesome and we had our best finish yet. A top 10 would be good in our next race.
The full story will be up on Diary of a Season 2020 very soon.

Petty International Raceway Presents….”Bryon Construction 150″…. July 18th
This Saturday we will head to Petty International Raceway for our second race of 2020. We’re hoping our radios work this time. They were new in the off season but have been nothing but static.
We had some help during the week from Brent Rowley of EIT Radios, hopefully they work away from home. If so I can race more aggressive and not worry about where I am on the track and causing or being in a wreck.
If it rains there is a rain date set for Sunday.
Thank you to my crew and sponsors for making this all possible. Their support has been incredible.

Petty International Raceway…..A Learning Day For Us
New car
New track
New crew
We got the first race of 2020 in the books on July 4th. Ironically this was our 43rd different track and Petty at that, quite a coincidence.
We had trouble all day with radios and that hurt us terribly, but all in all it was a good test for me in the car and for my crew in the pits. I must say they did a fantastic job and they are sure keen to work and help on the car, just like my crew in Ontario.
We had issues with the car, I think mostly learning how to drive the track. I was up and down concentrating on the car and knowing it, as well as a track I had never raced before.
We didn’t finish due to an electrical issue with the cooling fan, and had to leave the track with overheating. I think we finished 14th of 18 cars but not really sure yet.
The full story will be on Diary of a Season 2020 tomorrow, I have a bunch of good pictures like this one from my good friend Ernest Pothier who took pictures of my cars in Ontario before he moved here. Overall Petty was a good shake down.

July 4th Brycon Construction 150…. Petty International Raceway
Getting excited for this big race July 4th. Haven’t raced 150 lapper in decades. That’s not counting a heat and maybe last chance.
Yes I am somewhat nervous. New car, never been moved yet, and never been on Petty International Raceway before.
I’m waiting for gaskets to come in to fix a fuel leak that started recently, I really need them by July 2nd to finish the car.
Looking forward to this race to promote my sport and my sponsors.
Thanks to Sue Chisholm for making this ad for me.

Brycon Construction 150….Petty International Raceway
With borders finally opening in the Maritimes, race teams will get their first race of 2020 at Petty International Raceway on July 4th.
The Brycon Construction 150. It will be a 150 lap race for all Pro Stock Late Models from Nova Scotia, PEI and New Brunswick.
I hope to get out Friday night and practice there, so far there has been no opportunity to practice even moving the car, let alone racing it.
I hope to have an advertisement to post soon.
