We race our Late Model this Saturday at Flamboro Speedway. Really hope we can get our car better to run in the top 5. It’s been frustrating not able to keep up. Maybe this Saturday we get a better run in our Quaker State Late Model.

Kids Camp 2016 A Great Success
The Scripture Union Kids Camp was a great success at Sunset Speedway. Weather was bad one day, but the kids got double carting the next day.
I was very happy to be involved again with this awesome opportunity to share my love for racing and Jesus.
Special thanks to my sponsors who donated items for the kids, Quaker State, Lincoln Welders, and Permatex. We also got books and nice bags donated by Open Doors, as well as kids sponsored by Timber Green Landscaping and Uptown Hockey Management.
Thank you to Lloyd Lavariere for his help and bringing Daisy to keep Buttons company.
Scripture Union Race Camp Sunset Speedway This Week
I will be at Sunset Speedway from Monday to Friday for the 4th Race Camp through my sponsor Scripture Union.
This is such an honor for me to share my passion for racing and Christ in the 4 or 5 seminars I will do each day with the Kids.
They will have an assortment of games each day, meet and do things with our Modified, and get to race go karts each day.
Thanks to my sponsors who provided prizes for the Kids
Quaker State, Lincoln Welders, Permatex and Grind Stone Property Management. Also special thanks to Uptown Hockey and Timber Green Landscaping for sponsoring 2 children each.
I won’t be home until late Friday night, or early Saturday morning because we are racing at Delaware Speedway Friday…..this will be the last race of the Chase, then elimination rounds start.

We Win Our First OSCAAR Modified Feature……Don Biederman Memorial
What an awesome night for my team. OSCAAR ran Twin 20 lap features, no heats. We won the first feature, and 3rd in the second feature giving us the Don Biederman Memorial win as well. This was our first OSCAAR Mod and 39th career feature win.
The plaque we won is amazing “Don Biederman Memorial OSCAAR Modified Race Winner”. Having that plaque is truly an honor.
Special thanks to my crew, family, sponsors and friends for their constant encouragement.
Louie did an awesome job spotting. Lloyd was unable to make it, or any of my crew, except Buttons, but the win was for them as well.
We have one more Chase race, Delaware August 19th, then we start the elimination rounds at Sauble Speedway August 27th. Eight cars will start the Chase, we are qualified now 3rd in points,
At intermission I came on the track to give away 3 trophies from my collection to young fans. I wanted to give these trophies to the kids because they meant a lot to me, and the fans of our sport mean just as much.
Thank you Lord for such an amazing blessing.
