Sat 17 May       Brockville Ontario Speedway

Sun 18 May     Cornwall Motor Speedway.

The original report for this week, which covered the Victoria Day Weekend season openers at the Brockville and Cornwall tracks has been mislaid, but diary and photo records confirm I was there and over this period, my Mum and Dad were visiting me from England for two weeks. I had picked them up from the Montreal Airport the previous Sunday ( 11 May) and they were staying until  Sunday (25 May)

At the B.O.S,  I went about my usual pre-race walk about , and noticed the abundance of female racing talent that was present, so got pictures a few of them.
