Thanks to Morgan Amber for this photo. This was one of my toughest wins of 2018 with our heat filled with fast cars including Cory Horner who once restarted outside of me with 4 laps to go. Good restarts and a great handling car allowed us to win our 7th race of 2018, the most wins since […]
Today is David’s birthday. When he was 10 years old I told him we were going down town Toronto to meet a friend of mine who was going to give me something for the race car. We stood opposite Maple Leaf Gardens for a long time and I said “maybe he’s not going to show”. […]
