It was a busy day for me on Saturday April 13, which started off with a trip from my home in Cornwall, down Highway 401 from my home in Cornwall, to Brockville.

The B.O.S were holding a ‘Fan Fare’ outside the Walmart Store beside the 401 exit. I arrived at 11-00 am to find about a dozen Modifieds and Sportsman cars lined up out side the main entrance. Most of the tracks top drivers were in attendance and there was already a lot of fan interest.

I stayed and chatted until about 12-15 before heading back to Cornwall where my local track was holding it’s annual Mall Show. As mentioned in last weeks report, we moved the cars into the Mall on Monday night for the week long show.

That night, across the bridge in Hogansburg NY, the Mohawk International Raceway were holding their annual awards and banquet.

It was taking place at the Brass Horse Grill on Route 37 and I arrived with www.rickattheraces.com web master Craig Revelle in time for beer or two before it got started.
