Because of the weather forecast showing rain for Sunday, Flamboro Speedway owner John Casale has decided to run Saturday only. I think it’s a great idea, although there is a casualty, the Pro Late Models won’t be racing the Grisdale Triple Crown this weekend, not enough time. By eliminating the Late Model class, Flamboro will […]
Hoping for better results this weekend at Flamboro Speedway’s Octoberfest Classic. It would be so good to win another feature in 2016, in either class, although our Late Model isn’t equipped as much to take a win with the competition we run against, but we will try our best. The Modified has already won a […]

I was looking forward to racing Kawartha Speedway again, but the weather cancelled the Saturday race for all southern Ontario tracks I compete at. I decided to head to Delaware for their Mod Open Invitational. I knew I would be in trouble, with no crew and old tires, but I’ve raced most nights at the […]
After losing last Saturday at Full Throttle Motor Speedway because of rain, and Sauble the week before that, our team has lost 3 races in 2016 because of rain. I usually book 28 to 35 races per year figuring I will lose a few to rain. In 2015 we ran 32 nights and 34 nights […]
