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.

From the backyard to the beach

Three week in a row is tough on any team. We did well at Flamboro in qualifying and the feature, 2nd place, still showing improvements. At Sauble beach we battled all night long with the 99 car. He did a great job holding us behind him. For most of the race he was sideways. It was tough to get past when you don't know where he is going. We drove by him on the restart and with 5 laps to go we were passing into third. We could only get up to the front wheel of the 71 car and did not make the pass stick. The last lap the 71 was rubbing the decals, paint and fibreglass off the side of the apprenticesearch.com car. He held us off by about 1 foot. Anyone know a good paint guy? Decals? 50 laps to go next time by.

Fan Appeciation Night

Mosport speedway is one of the fastest tracks we race at. This years fan appreciation night was very special. Our series got together for a photo with the fans to send to our troops. Rob Dehaan was kind enough to ask us to take part and put the Apprenticesearch.com car up front with his car. Oh yeah the racing went great as well. Our team ended up finishing third in the heat and the feature. We moved up into fourth spot heading to our home track. We are looking to move into third within a couple of races. Dave called a great race and all we need to do is change the Oil and Tires. See you at Flamboro.
