I have been rally busy the past few weeks with so much going on, but here is a run down for 2024.
We celebrated 50 full seasons with Quaker State…..”1974–2024″
We raced 14 Nights……………1348 Career…our last race of 2024 was at Center for Speed in Shediac New Brunswick October 19th after our Ontario trip.
We reached 900 Consecutive Nights…..905 in a row now
We reached 3000 total races at Flamboro October 2nd 50 lap race………..3004 now
We finished 8th Overall in the Grisdale Triple Crown at Flamboro October 6th
We finished 10th of 19 cars at Peterborough Speedway on October 13th
We finished 10th in the Maritime Pro Stock Tour standing’s. We were 8th when we headed to Ontario but two races that were rained out in the tour were rescheduled while we were away.
We had a date with an Ontario sponsor on September 26th plus an event at Glendale Secondary School in Hamilton.
I would miss the October 5th race at Petty Speedway, a rain date from the June 8th race that was cancelled after being there all day for 7-8 hours. The series agreed to give us last place points for the October 5th rescheduled race.
We would also miss the final race at Riverside International Speedway on October 12th, we were in Peterborough, but had enough points that only 2 cars could pass us when they added the last place points from Petty.
This season was filled with milestones. God has provided me to continue racing by good health and dedicated sponsors.
I am in the process of working on sponsors for 2025.
I hope to run another class next year as well as my Pro Late Model as our team sets a goal of 1000 consecutive nights. We are 90% the way there and can only make it if I van race in two series for the next two to three years. It will be a challenge but I feel “1000 in a row” is a stat that I would love to hold because I love racing, and 2 cars will give us more nights to add to 905.
We start our rebuild this weekend and will add pictures to keep you updated, and as well on Facebook
God bless you all and your families.

We did our 3rd show of the year on Friday at Canadian Tire in Truro. It was a fun day, lots of customers and fans dropped by. We also had a show on Saturday at Truro Mazda on Saturday from 10 until 1 PM. Both shows were good for our sponsors, our series and of course our sport.
We have done 4 shows now in 2024 and plan to do two more in Ontario when we leave on September 24th. I will post about our next race by Friday the 20th.
Thanks for visiting our site. God bless you all.

We hope to get in our final race at Riverside for the East Coast International Pro Stock Tour this weekend. This will be our 11th race and the 8th of the Tour.
We sit 8th in points right now and are hoping this race doesn’t get postponed because we leave for Ontario on September 24th.
We have a good hold on 8th but not secure enough to have any bad nights or miss a race.

Race#7
20 Cars
Robbie MacEwen wins
#898 Consecutive
Heat-6th
Feature- 20th crashed
Our visit to Oyster Bed Speedway in PEI was one I was really looking forward too. I love this little track and seem to run not too bad here. Our crew were fantastic, making many changes to get us better but we couldn’t get below 13:693. Most fast cars were in the 4’s and 5’s.
Jack was amazing again both spotting and making changes on the car with me. Bobby, Emily and Ray all did their part, especially in the feature when we were handling so bad, right front the start pretty well. I came in on the competition yellow, but was down one lap. The crew took air out of the LR tire to help the car turn better and I went back out.
We got the lucky dog. The cars were doubling up when I went back out and to my shock I couldn’t drive the car it was so loose I was almost spinning out at 30 mph. It was then I realized my RR tire was going down. I messaged to my crew, as we were still going around under the yellow “I have a RR flat tire”. I headed back into the pits and they changed it getting me back out before the restart. We had 4 practice tires we were allowed to use in case of a flat. I marked their depth before we put on the new tires. The best tire was a 5 in depth. It was our RF spare. I went back out and made the restart before the green. However the car still would not turn. The race went green until another yellow when a car needed towing, and again we were down a lap.
I went into the pits and asked them to check the rear stagger. It was less than 3″…not enough variance, should be 3 to 3 1/4″. The spare we put on was only 85 1/2″ and needed to be bogger to give us the stagger we needed. They rotated the tires on the outside because the the RF tire was bigger and that would give us what we needed.
I returned again to the track with 121 laps remaining. But it wasn’t to be this time, our night would end with a bad crash on lap 121 restart when the field got together going into turn one. I couldn’t stop and the track was completely blocked. I hit #11 Jordan Veinotte very hard on the RF, doing lots of damage to the car. Congrats to PEI’s Robbie MacEwen on his win, his 2nd Tour race in his career.
Here are some of the parts we know we need so far:
RF-spindle
RF–strut
Front steel bumper’
Front nose
Braces for the front bumper
Body braes
We have started work on the car and should have it ready by Thursday. Lots of dollars and hours again for this repair.
Our next race is back to Oyster Bed Speedway next Saturday August 3rd. My Ontario crew chief Jim Hulzinga and his wife Marie will be there.
