Before the end of 2019 I purchased a 2017 Distant 101 chassis from Cole Butcher. Cole won with this car the last night it raced in 2019 in the CAT250 at Scotia Speedworld, in the very exciting Parts for Trucks Maritime Pro Stock Tour. The car needed a seat and belts. I bought a great […]

I posted in Diary of a Season 2019 many pictures of the progress for our new shop. It will be on the final page below the report of our final Ontario full time Modified race. Thanks for visiting our site 🙂
Well it’s been too long since I have posted on here but I do have some updates, and will start posting more daily. I also plan to finish my last race report, though it won’t be long, but that’s okay. Here is a picture of my shop, finally completed, I will post some pictures soon […]
I know many of you have been waiting to see something from me since ACC on Thanksgiving weekend. I will finish my last race post. It wasn’t as good as I hoped but I also wasn’t focused with so much on my mind, saving the car for the Wilson family, moving in 2 days, delivering […]
This Sunday Flamboro Speedway, it’s annual Octoberfest, will be the last time in my career that I race 2 cars in one night. I’ve done it many times. The most features in one night was 2017….5….Triple Crown three 50 lap features and 2 OMRS 30 lap features with the Modified, 210 laps and jumping from […]
What an up and down weekend for us. After a disappointing Saturday in both the heats and feature, David and Jim got the car right for the feature on Sunday. We won Best Appearing Car, presented earlier in the day, and I drove my heart out in the second 36 lap feature. We finished 4th […]
This Saturday and Sunday OSCAAR and Sunset Speedway will honor me before I go to Nova Scotia. This special event is called Ironman 72 Twin 36 lap features. It came to be by the genius of Dave Gainforth who used my age and the number of my car to create this memorable night for me, […]
My goal on September 7th at Flamboro Speedway was to make sure all functions were good on our Pro Late Model. The last time out the car was terrible, and that was 100% on trying to get 4 nights on a set of tires……not good. My crew Louie, Troy and Wally did go over some […]
We didn’t fare very well on the track but we sure had a great time on the Rock. It was my first time in Newfoundland and I got to see some family and race on a track I never did before. The racing part was tough, but it didn’t discourage me because the rest of […]
We make our second trip to Delaware Speedway this Saturday. We’re hoping for a better run this time. Since our last Modified race we have changed the engine, removed 150 pounds of lead and rescaled the car. My 604 idea didn’t work because that engine isn’t suppose to be muzzled, but we tried. We were […]
July 27th was a busy day for us. A show at Canadian Tire in Waterdown, our VIP event for Quaker State and other sponsors, friends and fans, as well as racing. The full story is up on Diary of a Season 2019. Thank you for visiting our site 🙂
We had a great car Saturday night at Sunset Speedway. The chip and fuel issues were both fixed. Unfortunately a simple error got us black flagged and put us 2 laps down. We would recover and finish 10th in a shortened feature, scheduled for 50 but only getting in 34 laps. The full story will […]
