We had a rough double header weekend. The Modified was good first set of hot laps, but by the feature it was not the same car. We will work on it for the next OSCAAR event. Our Late Model had 3 features to run on Saturday at Flamboro. We got the car better each time […]

We race the Modified this Friday night at Kawartha Speedway. I am looking forward to being back at this big smooth fast track. The last time we raced at Kawartha was in 2014. Our team was fortunate to win a feature at Kawartha in 2002 in our black 33 Chev Coupe. This Saturday June 3rd […]
We started our 4th season with the OSCAAR Modified class. It was a good night for us, a good start to the season. We had all hands on deck. Lloyd, Louie, Paul, Stephen, Lucy, Randall, Rick, and Laurie. Everyone chipped in making it a very easy night for our crew and for me. The full […]
We are proud to announce that Lincoln Welders is back with us for the 2017 race season and committed to 2018 as well. Special thanks to Lincoln for supplying us with the welder we are using to rebuild both our cars for the coming season. Here Buttons displays our new Lincoln welder. Thank you so […]
While the Late Model is undergoing a make over that I hope covers up the mess I brought to Steve Lyons at Creative Edge, the Modified is going together very nice. The paint job on the Modified, done by Josh Watson is amazing and that car will look great as far as paint is concerned. […]
This weekend should be a big one for us as we try to get a bunch off our list. The panels for both cars are being painted now by Josh Watson. His Dad Glen Watson has been a very successful Super Late Model racer for years with OSCAAR. This picture shows the red panels now […]
The past few days have knocked off most of the first list for the OSCAAR Modified. Lloyd came down and we got the wheel bearings repacked, a complete nut and bolt, the brakes bled, the led painted, the chassis painted and an oil and filter change. The body panels will hopefully be dropped off to […]
What an ordeal it was just to get my Mod chassis power washed this week. A good friend came over Sunday to help sand some panels, in preparation for Josh Watson to paint. Then we put air in the tires and loaded the rolling chassis in the trailer so I could head out Monday and […]
The Modified is done chassis, shock, engine wise, but the body needs complete sanding, all exterior and interior panels, then it has to be loaded to power wash the chassis and frame, drive line etc. Wheel bearings will have to be repacked and brakes bled. The body panels go for painting the end of this […]
These pictures from March 30th show our Modified taking shape. Mostly cosmetic updates for this year. Things have been hectic for me causing a slow start on our cars, but we are in high gear now and looking forward to getting both cars home and finished. The Modified will be painted by Josh Watson once […]
Our Modified was taken to Oakville Trailers where Ron Easton will make some repairs to the chassis, side bars, front and rear bumpers and body sheet metal. There are a few more repairs and changes that need to be done as well. Our quick change needs repairs as do some shock mounts and the pan […]
I just want to thank my racing peers in the OSCAAR Mods for voting me the Sportsman of the Year 2015. It is truly an honor to win such an award. Thanks from my heart. This was a great year for my team, thanks to Jason Legge who helped us immensely by providing a place […]
