6 January             Can Am Speedway, Lafargeville NY ( Winter Enduro)

This past weekend I got my racing season off to a good start with a trip down to Lafargeville, NY for the Can Am Speedway’s winter enduro.

I left my home in Cornwall, Ontario at about 9-00 am on Sunday morning for the snowy drive south . After a breakfast ‘to go’ from the ‘401’ Tim Hortons , I was at the track as the pit gates opened  at 11.00 am.

Www.rickattheraces.com web master Craig Revelle was already there and we both watched as the race cars started to arrive. Another early arrival was my photographer friend John Meloling from Syracuse so spent quite a bit of time chatting to him.can am13 enduro

Unlike the 2012 event which was a ‘road course’ configuration held on the speedway infield, this years track was an ‘inner oval’.

After, around 20 cars took to the track for the first of the two 40 lappers, I netted my first ‘new track’ of the year.

The ‘Inner Oval’ at the Can Am Speedway became track # 206 on my TRACKCHASING totals.
