This Saturday will be the 11th of 12 scheduled East Coast International Pro Stock Tour races.
This will also be our 13th race of the year and the most since Covid. We will celebrate our 872nd consecutive night, a streak that started on June 5th 1987. Our goal is 900, but some are suggesting me to try 1000…..I don’t know about 1000, though it would be crazy to reach 1000 consecutive nights.
We will hit 877 this year if we have no rain outs, that would leave 23 nights for 900 and 123 for 1000.
I will leave up to my God to provide me the strength, health, sponsors, crew and desire to reach 1000.
Meanwhile we look forward to 2023, our 50th year with Quaker State, and then 2024 to have achieved 50 seasons with our amazing sponsor. In 2 years we can advertise 1974 to 2024, although 2023 is our 50th.
I still have diescasts available but getting close to the cut off point. So far of the 700 ordered, 496 have been asked for and we haven’t really advertised much.

Petty International Raceway A Success For Us On August 27th
We ran our 12th night of the season and the 10th in the East Coast International Pro Stock Tour.
The car count wasn’t the best, but every race division for the most part is struggling a little, but not all.
We finished 10th in this race and had a strong run the final 30 laps.
The full story will be on our Message Board Diary of a Season 2022 very soon. I am getting pictures as well, need them to tell a more full story.

Quaker State Team Looses Clutches In Center For Speed 150
This was our second time at Center for Speed located near Shediac New Brunswick. I was very much looking forward to racing on this oval that reminds me much of Ontario tracks, flat, wide and little banks. It does have very wide turns.
We struggled in the warm ups but got it going in the heat race after some changes by our crew. We had a great run in the heat finishing 3rd but did not finish the feature with the clutches slipping bad enough we couldn’t finish. We completed 120 of 150 laps.

Return To Center For Speed….Shediac….Invitational
This Sunday we will be in Shediac New Brunswick at Center For Speed for their Pro Late Model 150.
Tyler Hallahan usually comes with us but will be racing at Riverside International Speedway in his Mini Stock Invitational.
We will have most of our crew with us. Alex Coggins has to work as well. Shannon Riley, Bob Landry, Chris White and Jack Lynds will be there and of course Buttons. We will miss Alex and Tyler.
Looking forward to this race, hoping for a podium and no damage as we compete in our 11th race of 2022, the most races since 2019. Hope to see many fans at the race. Should be excellent weather.

Summer Clash 250…..We Had 11th Fastest Lap
Another 250 lap race is in the books, though we had a rough start with a flat tire on the green to start the race, our team persevered to finish 14th, eleven laps down. We lost most all of those laps
at the start of the race, had we not been so unfortunate to get a RF flat, we may have finished in the top 7 for this long race. My son David Elliott spotted for us and coached our amazing crew through changes on the car to make it better and Dad (me) run a little harder.
The highlight of this race, besides not getting beat up was our best lap time of 14:686. It was the 11th fastest of 25 cars.
Special thanks to Ken MacIsaac for this great picture.
I am currently working on Diary of a Season 2022, should have it done by Thursday. Seems to take a long time to get good pictures, but we have a few and I am waiting for a few more.

Summer Clash 250 Starts Off Bad But We Finish 14th
It was a fun day, lots of action. David came from Ontario to help my team and I. He was a huge help getting us on the right track with bump stops.
After getting the car better for the feature things went south in a hurry on the start of the 250 lap Summer Clash at Scotia Speed World when our RF tire went flat coming off turn 4 to take the green.
We had to make a pit stop under green, putting us several laps down and taking us out of any chance for a good finish. There were a ton of cautions. We made several pit stops to improve the car each time out. The bright spots for us were a good handling car at the end of the race and no damage. The full story will be on Diary of a Season 2022.
