After being rained out 4 of the last 5 visit to Mosport we tried our luck with mother nature again Saturday May 30th. After the first practice we has a short rain storm that caused about an hour delay to dry the track. Paul started 3rd and whent 3 wide on the backstretch on lap 1 to take the lead. Paul led the entire race until the white flag lap ( sound familiar? - see May 8th in Ottawa) when the #36 car of 36 Johnny Whalen made a kamikaze dive into corner one hitting Paul and spinning him out. On the restart Paul managed to pass 6 cars for a 6th place finish. After the 1st heats the skies opened up and put and end to the nights racing - Mother nature wins again.
May 8th, Capital City Speedway.
The seasons first race was held Friday May 8th for the Giant Tiger Race team. We had a very successful preseason test a few weeks earlier. Paul started 6th and within 2 laps was leading. Paul stretched the lead out to 7 car lengths before a caution flag came out with 1 lap to go. On the restart Paul got taken out on the backstretch and spun in front of the entire field. Thankfully Paul missed the walls and all of the other competitors as they all had to take some evasive actions. A very disappointing first heat. In the feature Paul started 8th and ended up finishing 3rd with a wounded race car.
