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.005_5 003_3 006_6

Shane Pecore was the Sportsman winner.036_36 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.023_23 (Medium) 025_25 (Medium) 027_27 (Medium) 030_30 (Medium)  033_33 (Medium)
