Buttons waiting for opening day.
It seems most likely that our race season will start once again in New Brunswick on July 3rd. Last year it was July 4th, USA’s birthday. Canada’s birthday will be on Thursday, so maybe it could be on the Thursday, we will wait and see. Cases going down will be the reason for the government to open.
Our car is all ready but lettering. I am still waiting to hear from potential sponsors before having Kirk Alexander of Finish Line Graphics, letter the car. I left the number on the roof because it will be the same again in 2021 and it was in perfect shape.
Hope all of you are well. Pray for those affected by Covid in a more serious way, those in hospitals, those who can’t see loved ones who are sick, those who are stuck at the border waiting to get to their new homes in Nova Scotia, and businesses trying to hang on.
Thanks for visiting our site.

Thanks to Ernie Pothier for this photo. I chased Shawn Pierce #21 for a bunch of laps before finally getting by. I had to use up as much track on the inside as possible, the drop is about 8″, it was most important not to fall off the edge.
Update
With Nova Scotia Covid restrictions higher now than earlier in 2021, and all borders locked down for travelers, it looks like we won’t be racing until July, possibly late June. I’m thinking the Government will set Canada’s birthday, July 1st, as a present for the 97% of the people in Nova Scotia that don’t have Covid. It will be a great ease of stress for the communities to finally get out of the restrictions, especially the small businesses.
In the southern US, racing and other sports are back to normal, and no spreading of the virus, hopefully we will be soon.
Our car is ready, just lettering left to do.
If we don’t start racing for 7 weeks that will give more teams time to get ready. In order for us to race, it will depend on the # of fans allowed to watch a race event. Most race tracks can’t open with 50 fans. Last July some New Brunswick tracks were fairly full by late July. In Nova Scotia, racing didn’t start until September because fan limits were set at 250 in the summer. By the fall NS was allowed 1250, still far too low to justify racing with the Maritime Pro Stock Tour, the top Late Model series in the Maritimes.
I’m hoping we get at least 8 races again in 2021 and then see this virus gone before the winter….for good. We will then see the common cold and influenza back as it usually is in the winter.
Hope everyone is well, pray for our country to be free, people to be safe and small businesses to get back to work.
