Daytona 500

Who is your pick for the big race? Gordon? Earnhardt? Johnson? Edwards? The Biff? Ford ? Chevy? Dodge? or Toyota? Will there be a big one?

Important always wear your safety gear.

Just a quick reminder to always wear the appropriate safety equipment. Things can happen in the blink of an eye!!! No Joke......
Please read this article it is an important reminder. We need to protect ourselves, we are responsible for keeping ourselves safe at work and at home. This is especially true when you have high speed power tools involved!

Lots of questions????

Thanks to everyone that came out to see us at the Civic Centre. I had a great time fielding many questions about the skill trades. It was great to see so many young people intersted in a career path that includes apprenticeships. Thanks to the organizing group and my fantastic hosts for the day. See you soon.

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.
