RICK @ the RACES (17 / 18 May 2008)
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.
I also chatted with Stephane Lafrance, who was unveiling his new look car.
Once the racing got under way , I took my usual spot on the middle to shoot some pics. The Sportsman Feature provided a win for Shane PecoreWhere as Jessica Zemken driving for the Lasalle Team, blew away the opposition in the Modifieds
On Sunday at the Cornwall Motor Speedway, the night got cut short with rain, after the Modified Feature,
In the heat races, Stephane Lafrance got a win in the new car, that was unveiled at Brockville the night before As I say, the night, rain cut short the evening soon after Laurent Ladouceur, claimed the Feature for the Modifieds.
As this was the Victoria Day weekend, and I had the Monday off work, I took Mum and Dad into Ottawa , where we saw the Victoria Day Parade
