We had to Sunset Speedway Saturday morning to put our car on display in front of the main grand stands to promote the OSCAAR Modified show on July 1st. Races start at 6PM so hopefully it won’t be as hot…stay hydrated this weekend. PS……I’m glad it’s hot, not a fan of the cold and we […]

We found a few issues with the car after our race on June 16th. We have already made some changes since that race , and going to make more. We shouldn’t have been so far off, but we were and mostly due to no practice because of the leaking oil filter. Plans are to get back […]
This may have been the most excited I had been for a race, since going to Nova Scotia in 2016. I was very pumped all day and looking forward to racing on the big oval. I thought for sure we had the car to compete. However mechanical problems plagued us every time we went out, a very bad oil leaks, […]
Saturday June 16th we race at Jukasa Speedway for the first of back to back weekends at this amazing huge fast track. I am ready, the car is ready, I’m hoping my crew are ready, it will be a long day, and we have to move everything in from outside the track. It will be […]
We had a decent run on Saturday night at Flamboro Speedway in the Late Model. It was my turn to drive it. Got spun in the first but finished 7th, and got in the wrong lane in the second putting us 12th from 4th on a restart. Overall it was a good run, I was […]
This Saturday morning June 9th, I will have my car on display at the Canadian Tire in Waterdown from 10:30 until 2:30. This will be my first of two visits planned for this Canadian Tire location. We are supporting the youth sport drive “Jump Start”. You can make a donation to the store for this […]
Last time at Kawartha Speedway we ran awesome. Had too much gear but we finished 6th. After our engine was rebuilt we thought we might be more competitive, but so far we haven’t been able to find out. The engine is fixed and in the car, but careless work on our chassis prevented us from […]
The last time I pulled an engine out of a race car, other than off season, and not including last weekend at Sunset, was 17 years ago. In fact it was common practice with the inline six engines. This time I pulled it out alone, just me. It was okay, I knew what to do, […]
We went to Full Throttle Motor Speedway on Saturday May 26th only to find out that we were the only car in the All Pro Modified class. FTMS decided in 2018 to have their own Modified series, and allowed cars from OSCAAR and OMRS to race under their own rules. I had added 7 shows […]
We finally got to race in 2018. The full story is on Diary Of A Season 2018. I appreciate so much my crew for all their hard work, it wasn’t an easy time. We were blessed by not getting wrecked in the second heat. This picture is Ashley McCubbin’s shot. Our car was smoking and […]
What a night for Gary Elliott Motorsports. After a final check over of the car this past week we were ready to start the 2018 season. My first two race nights were canceled due to weather, giving David the May 12th season opener at Flamboro Speedway. JR Fitzpatrick was very strong but David stayed close […]
Here is our 2018 schedule. David and I will split the racing at Flamboro Speedway in the Pro Late Model. He will race 5 and I was to race 6. However, the terrible snow storm in late April and heavy racing in early May took out two of my nights….April 28th and May 5th. I […]
