We're teaming up with Ontario Motorsports Technology Learning Centre to provide a space for racers to learn how to prepare their stockcars.

They'll provide the space and the equipment, and we'll provide lessons in welding and fabrication, basic machining, and the practical application of Bob Bolles' Race Car Technology series of books.

The 16'x16'.spaces.will be available for as little as $250/month from OMT Learning Centre but the lessons will be provided for free/at cost of the materials used.

We raced at Full throttle speedway at varney on Saturday with the Ontario Late Model Association.

In the first of two features we pulled off early after a wire connection worked itself loose and turned off the ignition system to the engine.

Starting sixth in the second feature, we were able to move up to third at one point due to collisions. Unfortunately, we didn't quite have the pace to stay there and ended up finishing fifth on track; fourth after a disqualification of a car in front of us.

Our lap average is only 0.2 seconds off of the lead group's average and we were able to easily stay on the lead lap which is a huge improvement since our first race with the OLMA.

We'll continue to work to improve the car, and the driver will.continue to work on his speed and hopefully we can be in contention for wins soon.

Thanks everyone that came out to cheer us on!

Last race of 2026?

We're testing and racing at Full throttle speedway at varney this weekend as part of the Ontario Late Model Association double features Saturday night (two races in the same night).

These are likely to be the last races we run this season so we can focus on 2027 plans.

We raced at Full throttle speedway at varney last night for our third and fourth races in the Ontario Late Model Association.

Contact early in the first race broke a part in the braking system causing handling issues for the remainder of the night.

We started sixth in the first race, had made it up to fourth but ended up finishing fifth.
In the second race, we chose to start at the rear of the field (seventh) and finished sixth, one lap down.

Thanks again to everyone that helps our program out. A special thank you goes to Kevin McMillen and Aiden Maynard for their help this week.

We discovered a bad engine part while diagnosing things today. We're more assured than ever that the car has a lot of potential once we go through the growing pains of a new car, drivetrain, etc.

We pulled off early in the feature tonight running third.
The gauges were sending some warnings and we wanted to ensure we didn't cause any engine issues.

The car is working well overall - driver thinks he had the best center of the corner speed of the field.

The YouTube video of the feature can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/live/fEIzx0K74GE?si=N1Ch6w_Npj0NNSJ9 (-26:37 from "Live" end).

Thanks to everyone that supports us.
