Race Weekend!! I know many of you have been yearning for off-road racing - we'll this is the weekend for it. We have two races set for Sunday. One race at the Greenhill track in Nova Scotia and one at Fast-Track in St. Andre. The weather looks like its going to cooperate so get your stuff ready. Hope to see you there...
September 18, 2007 - 9:38pm
First off, for those of you that were debating going to the race in Saint-Andre (Grand Falls) and didn't go, you missed out. It was an amazing event. Congratulations to the organizers. On behalf of all of the racers, Thank you!
The cash prizes for the top three racers in each class proved to draw people from everywhere. There were racers from many part of Eastern Quebec, Bathurst, St. Quentin and the Moncton area to name a few. And we can't forget having the privilege of racing in front of 100's of spectators.
The track and facility was perfect. The track condidition after a full day of rain was nice and damp and provided for very fast racing. You'll see from the pictures that it is a beautiful track. With long sweeping banked turns to a huge step turn and a long straight with perfectly setup jumps it was a pleasure to race on. From start to finish the track itself is 815 feet.
Check out the pictures and results pages for more information. Again, thank you to the gang from Saint-Andre. Specially Allain, Richard, Luc and Lisa for your hospitality. We'll be up to see you for the next race guaranteed...
Here's also a quick shot of the group (click on image) that was left at the end. Thanks to all those who came out to race.
