I have been rally busy the past few weeks with so much going on, but here is a run down for 2024.
We celebrated 50 full seasons with Quaker State…..”1974–2024″
We raced 14 Nights……………1348 Career…our last race of 2024 was at Center for Speed in Shediac New Brunswick October 19th after our Ontario trip.
We reached 900 Consecutive Nights…..905 in a row now
We reached 3000 total races at Flamboro October 2nd 50 lap race………..3004 now
We finished 8th Overall in the Grisdale Triple Crown at Flamboro October 6th
We finished 10th of 19 cars at Peterborough Speedway on October 13th
We finished 10th in the Maritime Pro Stock Tour standing’s. We were 8th when we headed to Ontario but two races that were rained out in the tour were rescheduled while we were away.
We had a date with an Ontario sponsor on September 26th plus an event at Glendale Secondary School in Hamilton.
I would miss the October 5th race at Petty Speedway, a rain date from the June 8th race that was cancelled after being there all day for 7-8 hours. The series agreed to give us last place points for the October 5th rescheduled race.
We would also miss the final race at Riverside International Speedway on October 12th, we were in Peterborough, but had enough points that only 2 cars could pass us when they added the last place points from Petty.
This season was filled with milestones. God has provided me to continue racing by good health and dedicated sponsors.
I am in the process of working on sponsors for 2025.
I hope to run another class next year as well as my Pro Late Model as our team sets a goal of 1000 consecutive nights. We are 90% the way there and can only make it if I van race in two series for the next two to three years. It will be a challenge but I feel “1000 in a row” is a stat that I would love to hold because I love racing, and 2 cars will give us more nights to add to 905.
We start our rebuild this weekend and will add pictures to keep you updated, and as well on Facebook
God bless you all and your families.

WE had our race on display at another sponsors location of Saturday the 14th. There was no racing for us and we were glad to support Truro Mazda.
Like Canadian Tire they were very happy we could bring the car, so Buttons and I made the short trip and had a great day.
Thanks for visiting our site.
God bless you all

This past weekends race was rained out and rescheduled for October 12th. Unfortunately we are in Ontario. We lost 2 races to rain this year, the other one is rescheduled for October 5th but again, we will be in Ontario. We are currently 8th in points. Because we were at the rainout in June, we will get last place points and that would still keep us in 8th, but if the October 12th race goes we will likely drop to 11th. Can’t help that though.

We supported the 60th Anniversary for River Glade Speedway in New Brunswick like we had scheduled but most cars on the list did not show up. Only 6 of us graced the River Glade Rebuild.
The track had been closed for 14 years or more and excitement was in the air with this 3 day event. Night one was Pro Late Models. The gates opened at 10 am and races started at 6. On a Thursday night that may have scared some from coming but they had months notice.
The last time I was here was in 1984 in our Hobby car and we won a heat race. I wanted so bad to maybe take my first checker in the Maritimes since coming here in 20220, but it wasn’t meant to be.
We did time trials, then a heat race. We finished 4th in both. I decided to change the gears for more RPM, but only had enough to get another 70 RPM and could have used about 100.
There was a driver intro and the national anthem. We would start 3rd in this race.
On the green I felt right away the throttle not going all the way to the floor. No matter what I did in that first lap[ could not get the throttle wide open. I had to pull over and let the field go by.
I got lapped but to our surprise we were able to pass 2 cars to put us 4th, they were also a lap down. When the 30-lap caution came out I pitted and Shannon came over right away and then Bob.
The track was lining up the cars for the restart as we were trying to find out why the throttle would not open…..then Bob found a large stone jammed in the linkage acting as a stopper.
Once removed I headed back to the track and just got there as the field got the green.
It took about 10 laps to catch the 2 cars I passed earlier but I was so far behind the leaders they caught me again with one to go. My spotter said “the yellow is out” so I was happy because I would be on the lead lap and have a chance for a top three…..I let off the gas as the leasers were coming and then the spotter said ..”no that was the white”, but I had already slowed down enough for the leader to pass me.
Not sure where we finished, nothing has been posted yet, I would think 4th.
Our next race is September 7th at Riverside Speedway.
Thanks for visiting our site and God bless you all.

Also very thankful to my kids David Elliott, Shirley Tiemersma, all my crew over the years and the crew this year.
