Wow, it sure was a wild night for us. 16 cars made it out and most of them were fast. some struggled others will be better next time we go to complete the Twin 50 Memorial race.
Our car was set up Friday by Wylie Motorsports. My son David was a big help as well. It was awesome and quick from the start. I made a mistake, mostly because I was working with my crew to get things organized. They did awesome as well. But in the confusion I forgot to get a transponder and during time trials my laps did not count and we were penalized and had to start last in both heat races. We finished 4th and 7th putting us 12th of 16 cars.
The feature was awesome for us, we ended up 2nd beating a hard charging Gary McLean who paced us the final 12 laps, but closed in on our bumper on the final 2 laps when we got into traffic. We crossed the line in 2nd and both Matt Smith, who did an awesome job spotting, were ecstatic.
Congrats to Shane Sticle on his win, and Gary McLean for a podium finish and racing me clean.
The full story on this race and the past 3 will be updated by Monday on Diary of a Season 2015.
Thank you for visiting our site.
Special thanks to my crew last night, and to Scott and Rick Wylie for gearing us up. 50 laps of no handling issues. Very nice .

NOTE: Many of our fans and friends have been having difficulty getting on our site, me to. The problem was the hosting company of the server. I noticed back in November they were not contacting me when they took money from my account. Then my stie went down for a long period for no reason on my part. I called Mike Larkin, of Canadian Computech….a wizard….and asked him to look into it for me. He didn’t know why I was having trouble, but he suggested it could be with the hosting company Dark Scape. Mikey suggested I switch to Go Daddy once we get things settled with Dark Scape.
I tried contacting Dark Scape again with no reply. Finally my site went down altogether in December. Mikey then started looking into transferring my site to Go Daddy, but ran into red tape with proper forms needing to be filled etc.
In mid February I was sent forms to fill out, the questions included the name of the owner of the site etc. I filled out everything they asked and emaild it back. To my shock, I got a reply back from this board, saying that I did not own my web site, it was owned by Dark Scape and only they could release it. I explained that I could not get in touch with them, and then I was told there was nothing they could do. I asked about my site, and the lady said it belonged to them not me. I told her I had been posting on it for 7 years and had tons of my history, but that it was shut down. She said there was nothing anyone could do, “your site is lost sir”. WHAT!!!! Anyway I was a mess for a few days. I called Mikey back and told him what she said, I was very discouraged. He said “no problem I will check into it”. I said “but my site is gone, there is no way to get it”. Then the most awesome news I could here. “Oh Gary, I saved your entire site when I checked into it a month ago, not to worry”. Wow, what a blessing, thank you Mikey.
So now we are up again, under Go Daddy and I will be updating this site frequently as before. It is now www.garyelliottmotorsports.com but if you use the previous name it will work as well.
Here is our first update with the new look web page 🙂

This has been a difficult off season, but we are making progress slowly. Our Modified had a few repairs done to it, nothing major, except maybe the lead tray on the left front, but other than that it was new bumpers, nose and sides.
We will doing all the maintenance to our Mod soon, changing of all fluids, and thorugh nut and bolt. Our shocks were sent to Jeff Walt for testing and rebuilding, and then we can prepare it for final scaling and set up.
Then it goes to Creative Edge for lettering and race car SPA treatment.
Special thanks to Marty Hagen for all his help so far. I will be posting more updates now that our revamped site is up and working.

I would like to thank Ron Easton of Oakville Trailers for his awesomes support in 2015 again. He has done all the work on the Mod and is currently working on the Late Model as well.
