My goal on September 7th at Flamboro Speedway was to make sure all functions were good
on our Pro Late Model. The last time out the car was terrible, and that was 100% on trying to get 4 nights on a set of tires……not good. My crew Louie, Troy and Wally did go over some basics and we found a few small things including the LF caliper needing to be bled.
With 3 new tires. and some minor repairs the car ran well. I kept clear of traffic, (weird for a driver) to avoid any damage to the car before presenting it to Paul, Steff and driver Wally Wilson, in this picture.
The Mod is a different deal because it has a lot of protection, but I am driving it cautious as well. Only 6 race nights left, and about 6 weeks before I head to my new home in Nova Scotia.

Newfoundland A Beautiful Place
We didn’t fare very well on the track but we sure had a great time on the Rock. It was my first time in Newfoundland and I got to see some family and race on a track I never did before.
The racing part was tough, but it didn’t discourage me because the rest of the trip was A+.

Mods At Delaware Speedway August 17th
We make our second trip to Delaware Speedway this Saturday. We’re hoping for a better run this time.
Since our last Modified race we have changed the engine, removed 150 pounds of lead and rescaled the car. My 604 idea didn’t work because that engine isn’t suppose to be muzzled, but we tried. We were carrying too much speed into the corners to make the 604 effective. Thanks for visiting our site. 🙂
Best Night In The Modified In 2019……May Be A Start To Better Nights

Fuel Cap Not Put On, Black Flagged, Loose 2 Laps….Fast Car
We had a great car Saturday night at Sunset Speedway. The chip and fuel issues were both fixed. Unfortunately a simple error got us black flagged and put us 2 laps down. We would recover and finish 10th in a shortened feature, scheduled for 50 but only getting in 34 laps.
The full story will be on our Message Board, Diary Of A Season 2019.

Delaware Speedway Friday Night….Farewell Event on Sunday
On June 15th we were to have our first of two races at Delaware Speedway but like many nights in May and June, it was cancelled due to rain. They reschedule that event for this Friday night and though I was hoping to be off to get all the arrangements and organizing done for our event on Sunday, I am always glad to race.
I am hoping to be as competitive as we were at Full Throttle Motor Speedway last weekend in the Modified.
Delaware is one track that I rarely run good in my own car. The only feature win there was on July 26th 2013 driving Dave Hodgkinsons Pro 4 Modified, pictured above. It was a great night winning the heat and feature. Dave let me put Quaker State on the car and my number, very cool.
Hopefully my crew and I have a strong performance this time and bring it home unscathed. More on my event on the next post…..Saturday night.
If you want to come, there are still tickets available, a fund raiser for my move east. I appreciate the support I get from all my friends and fans.
