Special thanks to Ken Bayliss, Lloyd Lariviere and brothers James and Jason for helping get a few things off our list today. We couldn’t complete much of it because of missing or failed parts. The brake reservoir was leaking, never had one of those leak before, so the brakes couldn’t be bled. The water pump […]

This weekend should be a big one for us as we try to get a bunch off our list. The panels for both cars are being painted now by Josh Watson. His Dad Glen Watson has been a very successful Super Late Model racer for years with OSCAAR. This picture shows the red panels now […]
I know it’s filthy….but that’s okay right now. Picked up the Late Model from Jason Legge on Tuesday night. Then Wednesday I took all the Mod panels and some Late Model parts to Josh Watson for him to paint. Got the new engine from Bennett Chevrolet today. Now to cram over the next few days. […]
I picked up the Late Model from Jason Legge who has been very helpful to me this winter. We have a long list of things to do. We don’t want to miss any scheduled events, it’s important to keep our streak of 753 consecutive nights going. The next few weeks will be intense, but it’s […]
The past few days have knocked off most of the first list for the OSCAAR Modified. Lloyd came down and we got the wheel bearings repacked, a complete nut and bolt, the brakes bled, the led painted, the chassis painted and an oil and filter change. The body panels will hopefully be dropped off to […]
What an ordeal it was just to get my Mod chassis power washed this week. A good friend came over Sunday to help sand some panels, in preparation for Josh Watson to paint. Then we put air in the tires and loaded the rolling chassis in the trailer so I could head out Monday and […]
The Modified is done chassis, shock, engine wise, but the body needs complete sanding, all exterior and interior panels, then it has to be loaded to power wash the chassis and frame, drive line etc. Wheel bearings will have to be repacked and brakes bled. The body panels go for painting the end of this […]
A little behind, but the Modified is home now. Bumpers out getting Chromed at Metal Coaters. New paint to be done on the sheet metal of the Modified, decals will be and then sent to Josh Watson to do his magic. More updates on the OSCAAR Mod soon……the Late Model is still being worked on […]
I posted this picture the other day and noted there was one racer that I did not know his name. Steve Trendell message me his name this morning. He is sitting on the second row, at the far right. He’s Bob Beck, and I should have known him because in 1973 my brother-in-law Harry Bow […]
How great it is for our team to have Ron Easton of Oakville Trailers sponsor us for the 2016 race season. I have dealt with Ron for many years with all my cars, our CVM Coupe, Late Model and now Modified. There isn’t a race car that Ron and his shop can’t build, fix, fabricate […]
Here are just a few of the many racers who showed up on Saturday for the 50th Anniversary reunion. You can be sure there will be another one, or something even bigger this summer……just need to get it planned now and let Flamboro owners know so they can get a great picture of all the […]
On April 2nd the CVM/Hobby Club held their 50th Anniversary celebration event at the Legion in Dundas. The Hobby’s, known as the Jalopies during their beginning, raced at the CNE when it opened in the early 50’s until it closed in 1966. A group of men decided to preserve these nostalgic race cars forming a […]
