Here is David’s post on Face Book re his announcement to retire. It is tough for me to know he won’t be back. I wanted him to race cars from the time he was a child. I am so proud of my son, he truly had an amazing career with over a dozen Championships, and well […]
What an honor to win this award, and it means even more when it’s in honor of Don Hawn.
I was so blessed at the OSCAAR banquet, not only to have three of my sponsor reps there, Quaker State, Lincoln Electric and Grind Stone Property Management, but also one of my crew members Stephen and Lucy Lippert. We won both the Best Appearing Car and Sportsman of the Year awards. This was the 15th […]

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”. […]

It was a crazy weekend for us. I will post the full story on Diary of a Season 2018. We picked up 2 wins in the heat races, exciting wins, but the car had severe mechanical issues in the feature. David meanwhile tried his best to get us a top 3 in Flamboro Late Model […]
Sunday September 16th Buttons and I headed north east to Gormley for the annual Charity Classic Custom Car, Truck & Bike show. This event was hosted by the Highway 11 Cruisers and was packed all day. In this pic, the police from Smokey & The Bandit pulled Buttons over for speeding. It was very hot […]
David had a good but frustrating night. His lap times were the fastest all year getting down in the 15:1’s. Losing brakes in the first 30 lap feature hurt us but he still picked up 4th and runner up in the second. The full story will be on Diary of a Season 2017 soon. Thanks to Derek Smith for this photo.
