RICK @ the RACES ( 6 Jan 2013)
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.
Unlike the 2012 event which was a ‘road course’ configuration held on the speedway infield, this years track was an ‘inner oval’.
This fact prompted a few of my ‘TRACKCHASING’ buddies to make the trip from as far away as Reading PA and Rochester NY. in the quest to add the ‘new track’ to their totals.
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.
