Three Days In And We Are Making Great Progress For 2021 Rebuild

Gary Elliott Motorsports Posted on October 18, 2020 by Gary ElliottOctober 18, 2020

Bob, Chris and Tyler came over Wednesday and Thursday to give us a good start on the car. Bob returned on Saturday and with Shannon and I digging in we got the hood and doors fitted. Still lots to do, but a great effort so far.
The panels have to be ready for paint by the 27th of October. When they go out to PYE Chevrolet for paint we can work on the other things that need attention…..like power wash the complete chassis and clean the interior. Then it’s front end, brakes, exhaust etc.
I am very happy how the progress is going so far.

Rebuild Continues

Gary Elliott Motorsports Posted on October 16, 2020 by Gary ElliottOctober 16, 2020

Bob, Chris and Tyler came to the shop twice this week to get the car panels installed and fix a few bent parts, nothing too serious. Our goal is to have the panels, doors, fenders, nose, tail, hood and rocker panels, ready for the final week of October.
Once all the holes are drilled and the body panels riveted in place, they will be removed from the car and sent to PYE Chevrolet for paint.
Special thanks for our sponsor PPG for supplying the paint and materials.
PS….the car will be power washed once all the work is done and panels are out for paint.
We had an oil leak from the power steering that got into the rad. The rad shroud made it impossible to get to the rad, plus at least 4 of the 6 tracks we raced this year were very dusty. Next year we will power wash the car after every race.

2021 Late Model Rebuild Started

Gary Elliott Motorsports Posted on October 15, 2020 by Gary ElliottOctober 15, 2020

I really want to get my Late Model done early for 2021. Bob and Chris came over Wednesday to get started. I bought all the needed parts, 2 front fenders, 2 doors, steel front bumper, a nose, rear bumper cover and rocker panels. Some of our existing parts can be fixed or kept for spares.
Our goal is to have this car completely finished by the end of November.

Quaker State Team Fast At Center For Speed

Gary Elliott Motorsports Posted on October 7, 2020 by Gary ElliottOctober 7, 2020

Action shot by Ernest Pothier.
We had a strong run finishing 8th. It was a great way to end the season, a real confidence builder for 2021.
We did get roughed up, body slammed trying to pass a car clean. He turned into me knocking us off the track, doing body damage and cutting the RF tire.
Later a car spins coming off turn four. He was on the inside and instead of braking lets his car slide up the track, I was coming through and bang.
There was no place to go and I am guessing he was just trying to get away from the traffic heading his way.
The good news for our team is our lap times, very close to the fastest that day. I knew the car was good, it felt awesome, like it did at Riverside only better. This was one of my best races in many years.
I will be doing updates during the off season.

Center For Speed A Good Debut For US

Gary Elliott Motorsports Posted on October 6, 2020 by Gary ElliottOctober 6, 2020

We had our 8th race of the season at Center For Speed in Shediac New Brunswick. This was the first time on this track for me and I caught on to faster than any of the others. I was more aggressive here in our Pro Late Model than I have been in the last 7 years. I believe my confidence is finally coming back. We were a top 5 car but racing has a way to change how things could be, but a great debut overall.
The full report will be on Diary of a Season 2020 soon.

Atlantic Stock Car Championships….Center For Speed October 4th

Gary Elliott Motorsports Posted on September 30, 2020 by Gary ElliottFebruary 18, 2021

Sunday October 4th we will head to the Center For Speed race track in Shediac New Brunswick for the final and 8th race of our shortened season. I am happy to have got in as many as we did. Every race was 150 to 250 laps. One other race was 200 laps.
We had some bad luck, mechanical issues but overall it’s been a fun learning season.
New car, new crew and new tracks. Center For Speed will be the 4th new track for me in 2020, giving me 46 different tracks competed on. I’m really looking forward to this new track and experience.
