RICK @ the RACES (13/14/15 June 2008)
Frid 13 June Autodrome Edelweiss
Sat 14 June Brockville Ontario Speedway
Sun 15 June Cornwall Motor Speedway
The original report for this week, has been mislaid, but memory, diary and photo records tell me that on Friday 13 June 2008 I was at the Autodrome Edelweiss, in Quebec for a regular program that included both Modifieds and Sportsman.
After an on-track autograph session for the kids, the features commenced.
Shane Pecore was the Sportsman winner. The Modified feature proved that Jessica Zemken’s win at Brockville, the previous week ( that I missed, while at Fulton) was no fluke, by doing it all again at Edelweiss. She was driving a car owned by Mike and Lori Lasalle.
The next day I was at Brockville for Modifieds and Sportsman, where , once in the pits, I made B line for the Lasalle Motorsports hauler, to get some pics of last nights winner, working on the car.Once the racing got under way, I was out on the middle taking pics. Sportsman winner was Chris Raabe
Josh Kane won in the Rookies(mini-stocks)
Dana Aikins won in the Street Stocks,
While Danny O’Brien was the Modified winner
On Sunday , I was close to home, at the Cornwall Motor Speedway,
Promoter Ron Morin, joined in the fun by shooting free T shirts out into the grandstands.Part of my job at the CMS is taking pics of the heat winners and on this occasion, I had some different ones holding the flag in the Modified heats.
