Our 2017 season begins Saturday May 20th at Flamboro Speedway. This is the longest I’ve had to wait to race since my Mini Stock days at Cayuga.
This is season 49 for me and the boys and girls. We have a few goals to reach, I listed them on Diary of a Season 2017 on our Message Board.
Hope to see you at one of our races in 2017. Thank you for supporting our race team and visiting our website.

Here is our 2017 schedule.
After 7 consecutive perfect attendance seasons at Flamboro Speedway, from 2005 to 2011, we are happy to announce our 100% series will be with the Flamboro Pro Late Models. This will give us 40 seasons of perfect attendance if we complete the full season, and that’s our goal, Lord willing.
We will run 8 of 11 OSCAAR Modified events and Rob Di Venanzo will run the other 3 so we support OSCAAR’s full season. I love running the Modified and racing against the Modified drivers.
We are happy to be running 5 APC races this year. It’s a big jump to run that series. It’s much more expensive per race, but it’s also the best Late Model show in Ontario.
My sponsors will enjoy these races with usually fuller grand stands, as APC draws good crowds.
We will also be running the IWK 250 at Riverside International Speedway on July 15th, and hopefully get to race with Mark Martin.
Looking forward to a fun season with our crew and sponsors.

After completely stripping our car, and carefully putting it back together, it was a pleasant surprise to find that our first set of hot laps were fair and the second not bad.
There were a few issues with the car.
The brake pedal was travelling too far in the first session, so we put the car on jack stands and bled the brakes.
There was an oil leak, coming from the right side rocker cover, and the carb had a slight hesitation. All easy fixes for opening night May 6th.
Special thanks to Lloyd, Louie, Stephen, Rick, Laurie and Rob for coming out to help with the track duties.
They did a great job and our team has generated a ton of enthusiasm making this year look like it will be fun.
I didn’t feel any performance difference in the car and that was disappointing. Maybe if we can keep up with some of the faster cars we’ll know how much our efforts moved us forward competition wise.
We know this was just a test, but it was a good one and I am very thankful for all we did since November and how well the car worked after being rebuilt.
Good job crew…..thanks for visiting our site.

This Saturday Flamboro Speedway will open the doors to the track for practice. Our team hopes to make it out. There are still quite a few things left to do and at this point we are not certain we’ll have the things done to get us to the practice session.
If not we will get some laps in early on opening day. I don’t like to rush things, and though we are miles ahead of 2016, we are still a long way away from being ready to test our car.
The biggest things is final scaling on the Late Model, getting the trailer loaded with tools etc. That will the biggest task of all. The trailer has had it’s annual safety, but needs a few hours to load everything, tools, parts and supplies…..and a good cleaning.
The Modified is close, but it still needs 10 hours work on it to be ready for practice and that won’t happen for sure this weekend, although it wasn’t planned anyhow.
I feel bad that we might not make practice day, but it takes a lot of hours to get ready for a season, and though we have done great, we are a few days short of being ready, Louie has been the catalyst making it out twice a week, but we need 4 or 5 people twice a week to finish all we have left to do.
I will post on Diary of a Season 2017 soon, with updates of our team and shows we will be doing.
