I want to say again, thank you very much to Jason & Michelle Legge for allowing me to call their shop my home. I now have a place for part of my museum, and my Late Model. I went to the Legger Race Shop on Tuesday and stayed until Thursday to get my bay and side of his huge shop set up. Thanks to Lloyd and Jared for their awesome help. There is much more to do, but we put a big dent in it. I do need to find a home for our Modified at least for the summer, and we hope to move it to the same shop where the Late Model is by October.
This was a ton of work, and travel for me, but I have all my Quaker State memoribilia and product in a safe place, and I can call it home.
Thanks again Jason, I am truly looking forward to helping you with your future racing endevours hoping I can contribute to your success in all you do.
The Mod is stressed right now, but I promised him he won’t be outside much longer.
Quaker State Late Model At John Bear GMC
We had our Quaker State Impala on display for 3 days at John Bear GMC Chevrolet in St. Catharines from June 17th to 19th. This was a cusotomer appreciation event and was very successful. Our next show is this Saturday, June 27th, at MacMaster Buick GMC in Orangeville.
This week we have our Quaker State Late Model at John Bear Chevrolet Buick in St. Catharines. I pick it up Friday and head north to Full Throttle Motor Speedway to first race the Thunder car for Jason Legge, and then go further north to Sauble Speedway to race our Quaker State Late Model. Hope to see many of our fans and friends at the Full Throttle and Sauble.
Davey Terry #14 Best Appearing Car At The Rick Woolner Memorial
We take great pride in bringing the best looking car we can for the beginning of the season, and keep it that way all year. We do it for our sponsors, and for the fans. When I was just a kid, maybe 5, I always picked the best looking car to win. He didn’t always win, but was still my favorite.
In this picture, it’s clear to see, that we’re not the only ones who take a ton of pride in bringing a good looking machine. Davey Terry #14 and his team always keep their car immaculate as well. The Modifieds have really stepped up their fan appeal with the paint schemes and lettering efforts for 2015, many of them very nice looking cars.
Our team wants to congratulate #14 Davey Terry and his team on winnng the Best Appearing Car for Part 1 of the Rick Woolner Memorial. The fan voting was close between Davey and Gary McLean #8, but the 3 time OSCAAR Champion would have to settle for runner up in the voting……PS…..finishing 2nd in Best Appearing was one thing, but what really hurt, was settling for 3rd in the feature.
Way to go Davey Terry….this great shot provided by OSCAAR photographer Todd D Walden
Quaker State Modified Takes 2nd In Rick Woolner 50 Lapper
Wow, it sure was a wild night for us. 16 cars made it out and most of them were fast. some struggled others will be better next time we go to complete the Twin 50 Memorial race.
Our car was set up Friday by Wylie Motorsports. My son David was a big help as well. It was awesome and quick from the start. I made a mistake, mostly because I was working with my crew to get things organized. They did awesome as well. But in the confusion I forgot to get a transponder and during time trials my laps did not count and we were penalized and had to start last in both heat races. We finished 4th and 7th putting us 12th of 16 cars.
The feature was awesome for us, we ended up 2nd beating a hard charging Gary McLean who paced us the final 12 laps, but closed in on our bumper on the final 2 laps when we got into traffic. We crossed the line in 2nd and both Matt Smith, who did an awesome job spotting, were ecstatic.
Congrats to Shane Sticle on his win, and Gary McLean for a podium finish and racing me clean.
The full story on this race and the past 3 will be updated by Monday on Diary of a Season 2015.
Thank you for visiting our site.
Special thanks to my crew last night, and to Scott and Rick Wylie for gearing us up. 50 laps of no handling issues. Very nice .
Rick Woolner Memorial Part 1
Tonight the OSCAAR Mods will race the first of two 30 lap features in memory of Rick Woolner. We are looking forward to being part of this memorial race, and the challenge that Full Throttle Speedway brings. It will be even more exciting with 18 to 22 cars.
David and I spent 7 hours on Friday, in New York, with Scott and Rick Wylie, setting up our car and making changes to get us around the ends better. We won’t know the fruits of our labour until we get on the track….and that will be very soon.
Hope to see lots of fans and race cars.

Sun Sets Below Quaker State Chevy
Had some computer issues this past few days and wasn’t able to get up dated as quickly as I wanted. Please bare with me, I am in chaos right now for a short time, moving and finding a good place to keep my Mod. The Late Model is at Jason Legges and the Modified is outside with a tarp over it. Hmmmm, not what I expected but things will get better….I know it.
We raced the Late Model Friday night. Marty, Paul, Glenn, Scoob and Lloyd made up our Quaker State pit crew. We did succeed in being much better by the 2nd feature than we were in the first, although we finished 5th in each. A few more changes and we will be little closer to the Outlaw Late Models that are dominating right now. We have to make a big leap to close the gap, and then a few bigger ones to run with these unlimited Late Models.
Here is a great picture by TW Robarts. You would think I would have felt that blast of heat under the car, but as bright and big as it looks, it was out in a split second….oh yes, and that’s a good thing……I will be updating our site every day now for the rest of the week. A lot happened last weekend and another big weekend coming. Watch for the full story on Diary of a Season 2015.

Thunder Car A Fun Ride At Full Throttle
May 29th Full Throttle Speedway. The 1988 Monte Carlo was fun to drive, it just needs a few tweeks to get it better. This night was just a shake down, and we learned a lot. This car had been parked for two years, and then Jason had it rebuilt. Once the car is finished, we will be looking forward to the next outing on June 19th at Full Throttle Speedwat and possibly a new Quaker State paint scheme.
This Friday we will be at Full Throttle racing our Late Model and racing again on Saturday at Sunset Speedway with OSCAAR in our Quaker State Lincoln Welders Modified. Can’t wait for either race. We have made some changes in the Late Model as well and hope to be much more competitive this time at the short fast high banked oval.
More to come on Diary of a Season 2015 soon. You can find Diary of a Season 2015 by going through our Message Board, and then General Chat………… Thank you for visiting our site.
Driving Jason Legge’s Thunder Car #36….Full Throttle Speedway
On Friday night we had our first run in Jason Legge’s 1988 Monte Carlo. Corey and Ron brought it to the track and Marty, Paul and I helped get it ready. The full story will be on Diary of a Season 2015 very soon.
It was a night for shake down only, first time this car has been on the track in 2 years, but it was fun. Wishing Full Throttle a successful season and hoping to see more Thunder Cars support the track.
Just like our Late Model we promise to come back with the right stuff next time. Tires and set up are all we need.
Crew members Marty Paul and Corey. Ron was here, but missed this picture photo op.

The Modified was rained out at Flamboro Speedway, but we don’t lose the race. That’s good because the Modified schedule isn’t very many races. It is rescheduled for August 29th, but we are committed to Sauble Speedway that night, and that means I need to get Jason to fill in for me. I am sure he will be good with that. 🙂
***************************************************************************************************************************
This weekend coming is a double header. Friday night at Full Throttle in the Late Model and Saturday at Sunset in the Modified.
