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 […]

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 […]
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. […]

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 […]
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 […]

What a run we had at Riverside International Speedway on September 26th. The 150 lap race was filled with the top Pro Late Models in the Maritimes. It was our 7th race of this Covid season and our best night out. I set a personal record racing 136 laps non stop….and yes that was an […]
We return to Riverside International Speedway this weekend for the Toromont 150. This will be our 7th race for 2020 with one more to go, next Sunday at Center For Speed in Shediac. Riverside is a beautiful track, much different than the others but similar to Bristol and Sunset Speedway. Much smaller than Bristol and […]
Our first ever Mike Stevens Memorial was a good run for us, though almost a disaster….thanking my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for keeping me safe and having His Angels guard over me and all the racers, staff, fans and families. Thanks to Brian Birt for this photo. On about lap 78 I felt a […]
This will be our fourth trip to Petty in 2020 and our first Mike Stevens Memorial race. Mike died in a very unfortunate incident in 2013. He was a great racer, loved by everyone and we are truly honored to be in this race. I did some testing on Tuesday after Kerry and Aidan came […]
