We’ve lost a few races due to Covid restrictions but looks like we are getting a few more so we really might only lose one race of the 12 our team had scheduled.
We will lose one in New Brunswick due to border issues but we should be good with the remaining schedule we planned.
September 11th Riverside International Speedway
September 25th Scotia Speedworld
October 2nd Scotia Speedworld….to replace the race we lost at Petty on August 28th
October 10th Shedica, Center For Speed, our 11th race of 2021.
If these 4 races do get completed we will hit 860 consecutive nights at the end of 2021.
Our team will be doing at least 3 more shows this season, one at PYE Chevrolet, and two at Canadian Tire Truro.

We will do a few more show events with our sponsors.

We Get….”Kenny U-Pull” Hard Charger Award At Riverside International Speedway
What a great day we had at Riverside International Speedway. This was our 7th race and our 6th race in the East Coast International Pro Stock Tour. We had a decent day running with both Ryan Van Oirschot #80 in the first race very close and racing hard with Waylon Farrell #48 in the second.
It was a grind no doubt on this very fast high back oval.
I was lapped in the first 75 on lap 53 and in the second 75 twice.
Congrats to Craig Slaunwhite for his win.
We were deemed the Hard Charger based on us being the only car to gain a position after the invert.
We have been so blessed this year just racing as hard as I can against all these youngsters and having a great time. We’re 6th in points with 3 points races left. We can still catch 5th although the #0 of Matt Vaughan is running very strong.

Twin 75’s Riverside International Speedway August 21st
This weekend will be our 7th race of 2021 and our 6th in the East Coast Pro Stock Tour.
I have been racing more aggressive this year but still a long ways from running with the fast cars. I have gained more confidence in myself this year and look forward to racing at least 3 more years to get to 50 years with Quaker State

Gary Elliott Motorsports Will Make History……Double Header Scotia Speedworld August 14th & 15th ….Cummins 150-Parts For Trucks 150..
This weekend will be the most laps I’ve raced in a 2 day event, in my 53 years racing. Because of Covid, Scotia Speedworld along with East Coast International, will host two races at the track, the first time in the Maritime Pro Stock Tour’s history. The double header, though never done before, will help the series complete a 9 race schedule……exciting for me. I’ll sleep till Wednesday. 🙂
Saturday will see a 10 lap heat race followed by the Cummins 150 lap feature event. On Sunday we will have the same format, a 10 lap heat race then the Nova Truck Centres 150.
I raced 5 features on October 25th 2015, three Late Model 50 lap races in the Grisdale Triple 50’s and between those races two 30 lap features in the OMRS Modifieds. That totaled 210 laps in one night, but no racing the night before.
On the weekend of this first time event I will race 320 laps in 2 days. Fifty lap races are not grueling but 150 lap races are.
I am so fortunate to be able to compete in these races though it is tough physically. God gives me strength and desire to do this, my sponsors make it possible with their tremendous support, and I thank God for them as well.

12th At Petty International Raceway For The “East Coast International Pro Stock Tour….Now 6th In Point Standings
We had a safe run Saturday night. The car was terrible the first 2/3 of the race. We made a pit stop with 40 to go and got the car much better. We would pass the 10th place car but he was one lap down less than us.
Here is a picture provided by Grizzly Photography.
The full race report with photos from both Grizzly Photography and Wing Nut Productions will be up soon on our Message Board in Diary of a Season 2021.

Round 3……July 31st……”East Coast International Pro Stock Tour”
This Saturday we head to New Brunswick for our 4th race of 2021 and the 3rd of 9 in the East Coast International Pro Stock Tour at Petty International Raceway. Hopefully we have good weather, lots of fans and a good turn out. This track is small compared to Riverside International Speedway but it is very fast and things happen quick.
Petty is like a big Varney Speedway, now known as Full Throttle Motor Speedway. I like racing in the Maritimes, but I am still sore after the battle at Riverside. High speed, high bank and lots of g-force. My lower back was very sore on Sunday and still is a few days later….it’s okay when I get up and walk, hopefully it will be when I sit down and race this Saturday.
We are at 853 consecutive nights now. Our team is fantastic, very reliable and have learned lots on the car making things easier for me, and I am very appreciative.

Riverside International Speedway….July 24th
This Saturday will be our 3rd race of 2021 and the 2nd for the East Coast International Pro Stock Tour.
Riverside Speedway is a very fast Canadian high bank speedway, faster next to Jukasa Speedway in Ontario.
We don’t have much to do on the car for this weekend, but want to get the brakes fixed and a thorough routine check over.
The full story from last weeks race at Scotia should be up by tomorrow on Diary of a Season 2021.
