The Giant Tiger Race team and friends and family wish Randy all the best on a safe and successful tour in Afghanistan. We will celebrate his return in Febuary 2007.

Short Video of lap 1 at Mosport

Giant Tiger Racing at the Ottawa Ex

Come to the Giant Tiger Stage area and see the Giant Tiger Cascar Sportsman showcar on display.

August 12 Mosport Speedway

After extensive work at the shop since Peterborough, the team travelled to the very fast Mosport oval and ran on the same program as the Cascar Super Series. We installed new springs on the car and a new setup which resulted in a well handling race car right away. Practice was short but the car felt good. We only ran one heat race and after we started 5th, we had a great 2nd place finish. That lined us up 4th for the feature and the car was fast from the start. We finished in 3rd for our first podium finish in the Ontario Legends Series. The car was good enough that we were even a threat for 2nd but time ran out and the tires got a little too hot. It was an excellent result after some hard work by the crew. Our next race will be at the 4/10th flat track at St.Eustache on Sat. Aug 26th.

July 22 2006 Peterborough Speedway

The 2nd of two nights in a row at the old 1/3 mile Peterborough speedway. The car was loose in practice and got worse as the night went on. The team adjusted the car all night long with no success. Finishes in the heats of 8th and 9th places were follwed by a 13th place finish in the feature. We would have to find out what was wrong with the car before the next race. It was a disapointing race for us.

July 21 2006 Kawartha











The Dejong motorsports team has been busy the last few weeks with a
number of out of town shows. Friday July 21'st we were at Kawartha
Downs in Peterborough. It is a lightning fast track, and the car was good
 in practice. We finished fifth in one heat, and third in the second one.
The feature was a caution filled event, and we started 5th. By half way
 we were in third, but got shuffled back to sixth on the re-start. We were
 able to gain one more spot before the end, and earned a good fifth place finish.
