We just got back from our trip to Ontario that included a seminar visit at Glendale Secondary School and races at both Flamboro and Peterborough Speedways. I was very disappointed on how the car handled at both tracks, no excuses, but we had AFCO shocks, less than $200 each and not much rebound, racing against […]

We had a good run on Saturday night at Petty Raceway. The car handled great, we were faster the last 40 laps than most teams, also passing cars in the final 30 laps. Thanks to Rye Grizzly Chapman for this photo. The full report on our 12th race of 2022 will be on Diary of […]
It’s near impossible to race without enough help and this series demands a good size crew. My all new crew for 2020 have been doing great and I appreciate them very much. Left to right Chris White, Tyler Hallahan, Kerri Fry and Bob Landry. Jeff DeCoste and Shannon were not available for this photo and […]
My Dad left his family and his Nova Scotia home, to go to France to fight against the Nazi drive to take over Europe. What really upset Dad was when Hitler suggested they would be heading to Canada after Europe. Dad was 19. He drove a jeep and a big truck taking supplies to soldiers. […]
We are working hard on David’s 2015 Championship car, getting it ready for our season opener at Flamboro Speedway on April 28th. There is lots to do, and now, man hours will be very important for us to get this car ready and lettered to start the season. My crew have been extremely helpful this […]
Special thanks to Jeff Warnes for coming to my place a few times over the past few weeks to do some cleaning and purging of trophies we’ve won over the years. Looks like we didn’t get rid of many, and we’ve given away a few in the past 2 years. We did fill a plastic […]
Here are some of my family, Gehrig, Megan, and Brianna, and crew, Lloyd, Louie, Stephen, Lucy, Ken and friends, at the start finish line for a few photos, courtesy of Ashley McCubbin. I had the honor, earlier, to take Ron Johnstone’s ashes for one lap around the Peterborough Speedway oval, while Amazing Grace was being […]
We finished our 799th night at Flamboro with the car getting beat up pretty bad in the final feature with 15 to go. The full report will be on Diary of a Season 2017 on our Message Board, General Chat section. I re-injured my back and ribs, similar to 1999, so I will be very […]

It’s been a long journey filled with many great memories. Also been a dedicated run to not give up at times. It started on June 5th, a return to racing after a 2 day suspension in the Hobby Club. That new start has gone without a miss is in its 31st season. We have accumulated […]
We finally got our car running the best it has in 7 years. This wreck on lap one is too bad because we put down 7 laps in the low 15:4’s….I know, still off but much closer than we have been. The full story is on Diary of a Season 2017…..I am very excited about […]
We ran our Pro Late Model on the weekend with close to 40 other Pro Late Models in the APC Rankin Construction Twin 75’s. We had some good moments but finished 32nd and 25th, both poor finishes a result of carb and fuel issues……but no damage. Congrats to Jason Hathaway on winning both features, and […]
