See you Wednesday

We are looking forward to seeing everyone in Brantford on Wednesday. Bring us a bunch of questions. You might even get to sit in the race car. See you at the Civic Centre.

Safety first

Lately there has been a big shift towards health and safety in the construction sector. Companies are finding that they actually save money for having a safe workplace. Decreased W.S.I.B. premiums, happy and healthy workers are part of a smart business plan. At work I am on the Health and Safety committee. We have monthly meetings and bring new ideas to our employer. Getting involved is the best way to help protect yourself and other workers. I try to be a leader at work, just like on the track. Every time I climb through the window of my race car, we are prepared for what ever may come at us. Crashes, fires and other drivers are some of the dangers. Helmets, fire suits, extinguishers and radios help us with the first two. Any suggestions on what to do with the drivers? Come out and see the car and it's safety features at the Brantford Civic Centre on Nov 26 from 9:30am to 3:30pm. Look forward to seeing you there. Be safe, work smart, finish first. Safety first.

Maybe next year

The season came to an abrupt stop on the front stretch at Sunset Speedway. I will give you one guess why........ Imagine that, more rain!!!!!! We managed to do some practice and that was fun, but we really want to go racing. Thanks to everyone at apprenticesearch.com for the tremendous support all season long. We look forward to next year and some fall shows. Thanks to all the fans from Norris Racing.

Finally we get to RACE!!!

For a change the weatherman worked with us. The track was fast and we had lots of fun. Second place in the heat race and a fourth place starting spot in the feature. The car was good and we made it into second place by the half way mark. A couple of cautions and some interesting restarts. Contact with the 71 car allowed the leader to pull a two car length lead on us. We finished second and gained a few points. A great way to start back racing after so many rain outs. Next stop Sunset.

Rain Rain Go AWAY!!!!!!!!

The sun was warm, the beach was packed and we were fast in practice. We drew the second last qualifying spot and had our plan set. That is about the same time the wind picked up. Tents, chairs, coolers and small animals (not really) went flying by. Then the rain came and put a damper on everyone. Maybe next time. See you at Flamboro, rain or shine.

National Champion???

After weeks of rain and another off weekend we went back to our roots. Racing motocross at the Trans Canada Nationals. I know race car drivers are not supposed to be able to ride on two wheels, let alone win. With the support of apprentice search we tested well and set some very good lap times. A holeshot and the lead of every lap. The toughest competition was my brother Tom Norris. He was jumping the huge double (I was chicken) and gaining ground on me pretty fast. I made it past the lapped riders better and held on for the win. Yeah I know it was the Heritage class, but a win is a win. See you at the beach for 50 laps. I hope I remember to keep it out of the dirt.

Is that Rain????

We raced the weatherman and he beat us real bad. The Barrie area had a downpour that lasted over an hour prior to race time, forcing the cancellation of the races. Flamboro is next for our series and we hope to see you there.
