We had a good race night at Peterborough Speedway August 4th finishing 2nd in both heats and 7th in the feature. The full story will be on Diary of a Season 2018 by Tuesday night. I rested on Sunday and Monday got a lot done on the Modified to prepare for next Saturday’s OSCAAR Modified show at Sauble Speedway. It will be our first time at Sauble since 2016 and I can’t wait.

2nd Win of 2018…Comes With The Modified At Flamboro Speedway
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 picture.
1250th Career Night In The Books
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 family, my crew, friends, sponsors, fans, competitors, their families and crew, promoters and their families.
Thank you to all those who have made this milestone an amazing journey.
Our 1251st night was very good including winning our second heat race of 2018. The full story will be posted on Diary of a Season 2018 by Sunday night.

Quaker State Show Car Busy
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 on the Q”.
They close downtown Queen street for a few hours every Tuesday and the street fills up with beautiful hot rods, drag cars and on this day our Late Model show car.
Looking for a good night of racing on Saturday at Flamboro Speedway. I’ve done better in the Late Model this year, and that sure is weird. Hoping to get the OSCAAR Modified on the podium this weekend.

Was This The Last Race At Kawartha Speedway?
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 night race is completed in Diary of a Season 2018, found on the Message Board on the left side menu.

Mod at Kawartha Speedway Friday Night…Late Model Saturday at Flamboro Speedway
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 OSCAAR series, quite a ways back from the leaders, and we’re 5th in points 12 points behind 3rd.
Hoping for a strong run in both cars.
Thank you for supporting Gary Elliott Motorsports and visiting our site.
David Spun Out Twice In First Feature….Still Finishes 5th
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, and climbed the back chute wall, and the second spin out while he was on the leaders bumper…..the issue was resolved when Billy Schwartzenberg apologized early after the first feature. Once he did there was no more issues for David or our crew. Most times things unintentional, but when the aggressive driver fails to make good of his mistake, the deal doesn’t die, but hangs around for the right opportune time to “pay back”. David usually never pays back, but clearly, if you disrespect him on the track, know there’s is one coming unless you mend that busted fence.
Watching David race is exciting for me and the fans because they see a hard charger that races clean. He deserves to be in a newer car to compete against the very best but the funds just are not there, in spite of that he does fantastic with this car.

David Finishes 5th In Both Features….Should Have Had 2nd In The First
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 Board……Diary of A Season 2018. It is cokmpleted now.

David Racing The Late Model Tonight…..July 7th At Flamboro Speedway
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.
I get tonight off, (not use to saying that) but will be with David and our crew at Flamboro Speedway to support our Late Model in action. David won the feature his first night out, but in the second feature a broken rear axle shaft took him out of competition, he finished the race but wounded. We currently sit in 7th in the standings after my race finishing 7th and 8th in the features. *got to do better next time for me*…..races start at 6:30 tonight.
Next weekend I will run a double header, racing the Modified at Kawartha Speedway on July 13th then the Late Model at Flamboro on the 14th……hope to see you there.
