June 7th Capital City Speedway 2 Race Wins!!

Our 3rd race of the year , 2nd at Capital City Speedway proved to be a very good night for the Giant Tiger race team. Starting at the back for both heats and the feature , Paul finished 4th in the first heat after a very rough race. In the second heat Paul made his way through traffic and won the race , the first checkered flag for the new Legends car!! In the feature , Paul again started in the back and quickly moved up to 3rd place. After many laps fighting for second place and with two laps to go , Paul looked to go inside on the 32 car into turn 3, then dove to the high side and passed both cars to take the white flag in the lead. The first Feature win for the Giant Tiger Legends car came next. Paul has one a race in every class of car he has run at CCS and it was the first win at CCS since 1999 , the last year of running full time in the Cascar Division.

May 27 Peterborough Speedway

Saturday May 27th was our first trip to Peterborough Speedway with the Giant Tiger Legends car to race in a Tribospec/Sunoco Ontario Legend Series event. An excellent turn out of 19 Legends raced on the very fast 1/3 banked oval. Paul practiced all day in the hot sun so we were unsure how the car would react once the sun went down. Paul finished 7th in the first heat and 4th in the second. Paul started near the back in the 25 lap feature race and made his way up to 8th before getting caught up in a spin. Starting from the rear again , Paul charged through the field to finish the race in an impressive 6th place.
