We got our second win of 2018, a heat win, but still a checker and a good one at that, battling hard with Jeff Showler to grab the victory. This weekend we head to Peterborough Speedway to race our OSCAAR Modified. This win was our 254th career checker flag. Thanks to Ashley McCubbin for this […]

Due to being very busy the past few weeks I didn’t get a chance to post this before race night #1251. But here it is, a milestone of 1250 total nights since 1969. I could not have done this with out God’s hand on my life. I am very thankful for the support from my […]
This week is a busy one for my race team. Buttons and I did a show at Niagara Falls on July 24th, and will do another in Kingston on Friday July 27th. Then race the Modified on July 28th at Flamboro Speedway. Here is a picture from the show on Tuesday with the club called “Cruise […]
I just finished getting a good design and decent price on t-shirts, celebrating our 50th year racing. They are available from S to 4XL and children sizes. Please let me know if you would like to order one, they are $25 plus shipping, unless you meet me somewhere or at a race before the season ends. […]
Rumor and maybe facts say that Kawartha Speedway ran it’s last race on July 13th. If so I must say it sure was a nice track to run. I was fortunate to win a feature there in 2002 in the Coupe. I will post anther picture soon of our 1250th night of racing. The Friday […]
Double header this weekend for me, running the OSCAAR Modified on Friday at Kawartha Speedway and then race the Late Model at Flamboro Speedway on Saturday. This could be the final race ever at Kawartha Speedway, sad really. Hope all can make it to see this show. Our team is tied for 6th in the […]
The amazing run by David on Saturday night was deflated by rough driving by his peers. David rarely ever hits anyone to gain a spot. He will retaliate if you beat him up and say nothing about it, that sends him into combat mode. However, after the first feature, where he was spun out twice, […]
It was a tough night for many cars at Flamboro Speedway July 7th, including our car. David was fast, but could not avoid bad luck, being spun out twice, including while running second. David runs the car in front of him clean, always. He deserves the same. The full story report is on our Message […]
Losing 3 races so far this season to weather, mechanical issues with the Modified and no Mods coming to Full Throttle Motor Speedway has knocked out some races for my schedule, and because of that, our 50th year hasn’t been anything like we hoped. Still lots of racing left to make some career high lights though. […]
We finally had a good night of racing, but I still messed it up being dumb after the first heat race……explanation will be on Diary of a Season 2018, race #5 later tonight. We got our first win of the season in the second heat race, beating Gary McLean as well. See the full story […]
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 […]
