| COVER: WE DON'T SEE THE LAUNDRY MUCH ANYMORE BUT LEWIS MADE SURE WE DID NOT FORGET WHAT IT LOOKED LIKE | ||||||||
 BITS
FROM THE PITS APRIL 30/23*Danny Lanctot has long been know for GREAT looking race cars, but I think all will  agree
he has out done him self on his new ride. After selling what many would agree
was one of the nicest 69 Camaro's to ever run down the track at Luskville
Dragway the Lanctot Racing Team bought this corvette. The car was purchased out
of Buffalo New York and was a beauty when it came home, but it is beyond
beautiful now after the new graphics where displayed this past week.*Speaking of NEW, look for the Urslak Racing Team to have something new between the pipes of their Racetech Dragster that second generation driver and former Jr. Dragster Track Champ Landyn will wheel. Randy will pick up a brand new Scott Shafiroff "632" cu in Chevy for the dragster and the 2023 racing season. The engine from the Racetech will move into the Undercover Car that has not seen much action but will this summer. Plans are for both Landyn and Kayle to compete for the Super Pro Championship as well as the Canadian Bracket Super Tour titles in 2023. Randy is also hoping and very much counting on the Racetech being fast enough to qualify for the BDL Top Dragster racing being held at this years Bracket Bonanza and was quick to point out "were in". Randy says he hopes this season is special as the brothers who competed against each other in Jr. racing will once again do the same only this time in what many of us call "The Big Man Cars". *After days, I am still at a loss for words to describe how devastated the drag racing community is, on the news that we have lost Brian Ackers. Brian was one of the good guys, always had something 
positive to say about everything, always had a smile, and was always ready to
help no matter what. He was without question one of the most laid back guys you
would meet, and he was a true supporter of Luskville Dragway and the Super Tour.
And let’s not forget that he along with brother Barry where a force to reckon
with on the drag strip winning many big dollar drag races and the Bracket Super
Tour Super Pro Championship in 2020, becoming the first door car to do so. His
pit area was surrounded by Jr. Dragster Drivers, and they all loved him, and he
was amazed at how good these kids where, and so he decided to create an award
“Acker Bros Quick Draw” for the best reaction time each and every race day,
which also came with a $50.00 bill. Yes, Brian was a giver and the only thing he
would take was the stripe many, many times on race day. Brian we will all miss
you, but will never forget you, you were a winner, RIP my friend. *By now everyone knows we had to once again cancel our kick off to the 2023 season for another week, as the weather man was pretty retched to say the least. So now we cross our fingers once again and hope for May 6, which gives us only two weekends until Malcolm Carpentry Opening Weekend presented by Precision Concrete Finishing. |

LEWIS GAGNE TRUCKING KEEPS ON A TRUCKING WITH LUSKVILLE DRAGWAY:
APRIL 30/23 Owner Lewis  Gagne has been a great asset to the sport
of drag racing and a great supporter too Luskville Dragway since he became a
regular at the track and on the tours. A racer who made an impact from his
first appearance until this day, also makes a difference when it comes to
helping, and helping Luskville Dragway he does. Nick named “Screwy Lewy” for
a reason, you would have to look pretty far to find anyone that has more fun
than Lewis does, and he has everyone else having a good time as well. When
it came time to buy and install new concrete barriers at the track, it was Lewis
who said "Get Em, I Get Em There" and he did, 14 tractor trailer trips later.
Lewis Gagne Trucking is located in North Bay Ontario but Lewis will be first to
say Luskville Dragway is his home track. 2019 saw this team also start the
career of a second generation Gagne drag racer, as young son Logan began his Jr.
Drag Racing career and it will be this summer when Logan's younger twin bros
start theirs as well. Once again in 2023 we are proud to announce we will
once again be having the Lewis Gagne Racers Appreciation weekend, which features
bonus purses, a free racers breakfast on Sunday Morning, and the induction
ceremonies for the Wall of Fame. Lewis Gagne Racers appreciation weekend will go
into its 7th. year in 2023 and will once again take place the second weekend in
Sept. which is the 9-10 of Sept.

POTENTIALS FOR TOP DRAGSTER: APRIL 30/23 If 
you read the Bits from the Pits section then you will know that Urslak Racing is
installing a big 632 cu in engine in the Racetech car that Landyn drives, and
they are expecting to go fast. Fast enough in fact that they totally have their
eyes set on entering the BDL Top Dragster event presented by Mid Mountain
Performance at this years Bracket Bonanza. Landyn is very much excited about his
chances against some of the fastest dragsters in the country, and is also
looking forward to showing that he can win in this fast bracket. Another
potential entree for the event is another dragster, which also runs a blower,
and that being the car of Serge Marineau of Montreal. Serge has always had very
fast race cars and the new Blown Dragster is the fastest yet. We point out that
no one knows what the bump will be, so it is anybody's guess how quick you will
have to go to qualify at this first time ever race. |

FROM THE PITS APRIL 24/23 *Weather man was not on our side this weekend which is kind of frustrating when the weekend prior was mid July type weather, but that is one of the down falls of this business, its totally depended on the weather man. So we will cross our fingers and try again this coming weekend, the good thing is we have one of the rain outs out of the way, as you always get at least 3 a season. *Some good news for the Semi Pro Class, but bad news for those that compete in it, as Ashley Muttart is set  to
return to the drag racing wars after a 4 year lay off. Ashley who wheels a 67
post Chevy II that he purchased from ADM Motorsports proved to be one tuff
competitor after buying the ride. Ash was able to nail down some big wins with
the car right off the bat and was a threat at any race he was at. Muttart took
some time off from the drag racing world to take a stab at late model stock car
racing, but decided to come back to his roots and take on the straight and
narrow once again. Ashley bought a new motor for the car which should give it
some more ponies on the starting line, and some more wins on race day. So
for the class great news for the competition "Be Ware" the North Shall Rise
Again.*We have a few mid pit personal parking spots now available if you think you might like to be up in the middle of the action. This 2-3 spots that have not been renewed and are now avaible like we said they would be . *Another Major NHRA National Event Track has been sold and will seize to operate as such at the end of this racing season. Bandimere Speedway will host its final National Event this season and the historic track will then close its doors marking another major blow to big time NHRA Drag Racing, and something all of us in this business has to worry about. The number of Drag Strips that has closed over the last 5 years has been alarming, and yes it has mostly been the big land facilities but with out support it wont be long before the small race tracks will follow suit. There has never been a more important time in our history where it is so important to support your local race track. |

FAB 2L SIGNS BACK ON
FOR THIS SEASON: APR.24/23 Once again 
the drag racing community at Luskville Dragway indicates they like what is
going on, and once again one of those racers puts his companies hard earned
money up to back that support. Larry Lepine who is no stranger to the
winners circle on his very fast motorcycle, who opened his new company up
during the covid pandemic has stepped to the plate once again in 2023. Larry who is a second generation drag racer, started running his
bike on cruise nights a few years back, and quickly moved to racing
competitively in the Semi Pro Class at the track where the sleds and bikes
compete on race days. And it didn't take long before he was more than
competitive, and was long after that, that
 he made his way to the winners
circle. This would also include winners circles at other tracks whether it
be in Semi Pro or full tilt bike events. The pinnacle of those wins would
have to be his Super Tour Big Dollar win at Luskville Dragway. FAB 2L is a metal fabrication shop that can build anything you want out of Steel, Aluminum, Stainless or Titanium. They can build everything from book shelves, to furniture to full stair cases like the one shown in the picture. They can also do repairs to any type of metal products, from Kitchen accessories to racing transmissions. Larry and crew can also fabricate that unusual piece of metal that you may need for your motorcycle or race car. So once again the racers who race at Luskville Dragway come through loud and clear with the words we support the track that supports us. So now we need all to support those that support our track. |

SPEEDY GLASS ROCKLAND CONTINUES TO HOLD UP THE TOWER OF ADVERTISING
@ LUSKVILLE: APR.22/23 We are extremely ple  ased that we can announce that
Speedy Glass of Rockland, Ontario which is owned and operated by a
second generation car guy who loves to come out and run his Harley every
once and a while at
Luskville Dragway, will be back once again as a major advertiser in 2023.

Dad race. Fact is Dan still has the Firebird that his Dad raced back in the

This is also Dan's 32nd year of being in the Auto Glass business, and that tells you something right off the bat, he knows what he's doing. We are extremely pleased and honored that Dan and his company have been supporting Luskville for this many years. It should be noted that Couturier also supports other events around the Ottawa area an  d in particular
Rockland.Couturier who operated the Apple Auto Glass on Gladstone moved to Rockland, Ontario a few years back and now carries the Speedy Glass Title in a brand new state of the art building in Rockland, Ontario. The shop offers much more than just the automotive auto glass that they where mostly famous for on Gladstone, as the new name obviously states loud and clear. This shop is the only one to go to if you have a performance or nostalgia car that needs glass done, as Dan treats like his own. Dan is a very community oriented person and plays a big part in many events around the Rockland area, he is very much part of the community. Also as can be seen in these pic's, no job is too big or too small for the team at Speedy Glass Rockland, so don’t forget this advertiser if you need the services that they provide. Speedy Glass Rockland is located at 2-2770 Chamberland St. Or by calling 613-446-5050 |

FROM THE PITS APRIL 17/23 *Well its only 1 week to go until we get the schedule 2023 racing season underway at Luskville Dragway with our first test and tune, and cruise night. This is obviously dependent on the weather and that we will keep you posted on our Facebook page Luskville Dragway NHRA. Figures that this Saturday past was weather like we are hoping for, for our April 22 opening. Yes the track has been  scraped and it will be dragged with
the dragger and sprayed. This will be the first runs since the installation of
the new concrete safety barriers, and the new repaved shutdown. Gates open at 12
we start running at 1pm and we go until 10 pm Saturday Night weather permitting.
This past few weeks have been very busy getting things in shape which also
included drilling 10 holes through the concrete barriers for the infra reds to
shine through. Never matter what you do there is always something extra that you
did not quite think of, but thanks to Advance Concrete it was quickly taken care
of.*Big news out of the Mike Ogilvie "Kendall Warrior" top dragster as Mike is proud to announce that he will be carrying the Kendall Colors for yet another year. This is not a big surprise to us in the industry as this is one of the best programs out there and gives Kendall Oil and W.O. Stinson's some very incredible exposure by a very professional race team. * This just 
in as we go to press, Renfrew, Ontario's Charlie Kenopic who started his drag
racing career at Luskville Dragway wins Super Gas at the Division One season
opener at Cecil County Dragway. Charlie began racing at Luskville Dragway back
in the 70's when I did, and has gone on to be one of the best if not the very
best Super Gas Racer EVER out of Canada. Charlie began his career in a home
Built Vega, and then went on to buy my wrecked Don Hardy Vega and turned it into
a Monza to win a number of times. The current 63 Undercover Corvette Roadster
was also a car that had some damage that Charlie easily repaired and has gone on
to win Division One Title with and now another race to start his championship
bid. |

W.O. STINSON & SON FUELS THE EXCITEMENT AROUND LUSKVILLE DRAGWAY
FOR 2023: APR.17/23 With ou  t question these are changing times as we worked
our way through the virus years and then back to some sort of normality in
2022. But as we head into 2023 one thing has stayed normal and not changed
during those
trying times, and that is the strong support from W.O. Stinson & Son to Luskville
Dragway and all the racers that compete at the small NHRA race track located
in Luskville, Quebec. John Armstrong who heads the marketing department for
Stinson, as well as much more, including total control of their Motorsports
involvement has been stead fast for many decades now with Luskville Dragway and has made it
clear that will continue when we go racing in 2023. And we are extremely
excited to announce that this year Stinson's will once again be back and
back BIG TIME with Luskville Dragway. 202 will mark the sixth year in a row
that W.O. Stinson & Son will hold the official Co- Title Rights to Canada's
Oldest, Richest, and Best Big Dollar Bracket Race, The Stinson & Son Bracket
Bonanza. This is a HUGE accomplishment for Luskville Dragway which over the
years has had a number of different title rights holders, like the very
first one, Reddi Chef Chicken, The Ottawa Sun and Napa. With the support of
Stinson's & Sons we hope to make this years Bonanza the BIGGEST EVER.Obviously race fuels and lubricants are not their mainstay as this company which is the largest fuel supplier both for cars and trucks and also for homes and business's across our area. W.O Stinson's & Sons gas stations can be seen almost everywhere and are one way that you the motorsports personal can certainly support those that support us, just by purchasing your gasoline needs at a Stinson Gas stations. W.O. Stinson's also can take care of your personal home or business fuel needs whether it be furnace oil or propane for your house or business. W.O. Stinson will continue to be the official race fuel supplier for Luskville Dragway and will continue to make deliveries each and every week directly too the track to make it easier for racers to get their fuel. Along with VP Racing Fuel race teams will also be able to purchase Kendall Race Oil and Brad Penn performance products as well. W.O. Stinson is the official Sunoco Fuel Distributor for Eastern Ontario and in being so can supply you with the best price and the best product. Please support those that support us and purchase your fuel and lubricant needs from Stinson's. This is a perfect time to point out once again the importance of supporting those that support us, with out them we would not survive. Again I remind EVERYONE, you can have your products delivered right to the track, call Derek May at Stinson's. I would also remind everyone that Stinson's deliver to the track every Friday during race season, and we will have a mid week delivery the week of the Bonanza. |

MISTER TRANSMISSION NORTH BAY & SUDBURY RETURNS AS MAJOR ADVERTISER
FOR 2023: We
can not emphasize enough how humbled we are with the support we get from our
advertisers and how lucky we are to have them. This weeks announcement is a
perfect example of just that as Bill Harling the owner of Mister
Transmission locations in Sudbury and North Bay has resigned for 2023 and as
added to his program. Bill and his Father Gord (and now Daughter Sarah) have been a big part of
Luskville Dragway and the Napa Money Tour for many years now and have been
some of the biggest supporters of what we do and for that we will be forever
grateful. 2023 will see Bill and the North gang not only take all their parking spots, memberships, and their big grand stand bill board, but will also see them be the $1000. sponsor for the Jr. Dragsters on the Sunday of the Bracket Bonanza. This is huge for the kids and Bill was one of the first to step up at last years season ending races to commit to the Jrs. in 2023. The Harling Family is a perfect example of the racing family, with 3 generations of them racing together at the same time. Much like my family who is also a 3 generational drag racing family, the Harling's spend their weekends together racing many weekends at Luskville Dragway or the airport venues we put on. |

| FRANK ANGER
AND AL RAY ADD ANOTHER DRAGSTER & DOOR CAR TO THE FRAY: APRIL 17/23 Al Ray has what many would call one of the nicest 67 Chevy II on the planet, but had the misfortune of a pit accident with another car last summer causing some major damage. Al did not hesitate on how he would fix it as it headed right back to Tennessee and the shop it was built at to be repaired. Well that too became a story with truck troubles and such, but needless to say the car was repaired the truck was fixed and the car got back to its home in Belleville where Al and the team are finishing putting it back together. So with that as a back drop we are pleased to announce that the plans are for the Chevy Deuce to be part of the BDL Top Sportsman Race presented by Mid Mountain Performance at this years Bracket Bonanza. Joining Al Ray this week is half of the Anger Bros, as Frank Anger will put the faster of the two new Diamond Dragsters into the field for his changes on winning the inaugural event of this type. The Anger Bros are players when and where ever they race and Frank will be a contender for the first ever such title at Luskville Dragway this season. The Twins have twin cars other than Franks is much faster with the blower than Fred's is, so it will be Frank carrying the Anger hopes. |

FROM THE PITS APRIL 10/23 *With the drivers meeting now in the books, the work towards getting ready for opening weekend begins in earnest fro 2023. Advance Concrete drilling will be coming in this week to drill the infra holes in the concrete barriers, so the laser beams can get through. Signs will start to go back up and a overall cleanup always takes place after 6 months of hibernation. We are looking at the paper less time slip program that Stephan Monette (a Canadian) designed and installs but if that happens it wont be until mid season. As we announced at the drivers meeting some more gravel parking spots will be installed and some other upgrades as well. *We have mentioned it in passing, but we can now confirm that as part of the LARRY WAY  car
show circuit, we will be holding the Wayne Young Memorial Car Show at Luskville
Dragway on Sunday June 11/2023. Anyone who was ever part of the Ottawa and area
car scene or racing scene over the last 7 decades knew Young's Speed Shop and in
particular Wayne Young. He was very much involved with Luskville Dragway for all
my days of running it, as well as every car show that ever took place in this
area. If you went in to Wayne's and asked for some support for a show or a race,
you always got it. The show will be free admission for all, the track will be
open for anyone that wants to try their car and the cost for making runs will be
$20.00 per car. We will have much more to say but look for many others to be
involved as we try to do something special for a special man. *Drivers Meeting Update: The meeting was well attended as usual and after some small discussions on new rules, (engine diapers, sfi, safety equiptment) race dates and other minor things, everyone moved to the practice tree room for some fun. The meeting and the practice tree day is a time when some of the racing family gets back together after a long winter and having a good time is usually on the schedule and it was. Congrats to Darryl Jensen who won the practice tree competition beating Carl Jessup in the finals, Dave Rennie and jr, dragster racer Cole Malcolm Krottner showed he's looking down the road at a super pro dragster as the second semi finalists. Thanks to Busters and all those who attended many from a long distance away. |

OGILVIE AUTO & FLEET BACKS 2022 BRACKET BONANZA WEEK, CONTINUES A
TRADITION: APR 10/23 You have heard  me many times
talk about Luskville Dragway and its family like atmosphere, there is no
question about what makes that happen at the small NHRA drag strip located
just outside Ottawa, Ontario. It is my personal opinion that the large group
of racing families that call Luskville Dragway their summer cottage is very
much the reason. We have celebrated Canada Day together, Thanksgiving
together and many, many birthdays together, and we have given each other
support when tragedy happens. One perfect example of this is the Mike and Vicky Ogilvie Family from
Jasper, Ontario who along with daughters Rachel and Ashley play a BIG part
in that atmosphere we are so proud of. And the family aspect continues with
Mike and Vicky as they own and operate Ogilvie Auto and Fleet as a family as
well. The business which on the quietest of days is much louder that any of
its counter parts in the big city keeps Mike and Vicky running off their
feet to keep things under control. In the racing season, Long days of
running the business
are usually followed well into the evening getting FOUR Super Pro Dragsters
ready for competition at Luskville Dragway or somewhere on the Napa Auto Parts
Super
Tour on the weekend, as well as many times helping others or customer s get their stuff
ready as well. This is a family that from the very beginning have done as
much as they possibly can to help support and promote their home track. Ogilvie Auto and Fleet is a Napa Auto Pro Service Centre which means they offer a wide range of vehicle maintenance and car repair services that help prolong the life of any car. Ogilvie Auto and Fleet can also take care of your heavy truck or motorhome repairs as well, and does so for many of the racers from Luskville Dragway who require this type of service. This is also a shop that is very well diversified as they also offer everything from detailing, towing, car sales, Black Mountain Jeeps and accessories, and many performance lines as well including custom wheels. Starting last season Ogilvie's became the official Canadian Dealer for FTI Transmissions and Convertors as well as Jones Transmission Cooling Systems. Mike and the team currently do a huge amount of the racing transmissions and can supply you with what ever you need. The shop which employees a dozen full time employees is well known for its methodical work ethic, which is shown and on each and every job that comes through the doors. For 2023 that incredible support will continue as Mike and Vicki will carry the title rights to the Canada Day weekend Super tour Race. They will also be presenters at this years Bracket Bonanza and will carry the FTI racing transmissions high and loud on the tower side scoreboard. A side note and high light for this year, Mike and Vicki will become grandparents as daughter Rachel and husband Brandon Barker will add a new baby girl to the racing family. |

| OGILVIE AND MORGAN GET
US TO 8 CARS COMMITTED FOR TD/TS AUGUST 5TH. APRIL 10/23 This years Bracket Bonanza is shaping up to be the biggest thing that ever happened  for the small little NHRA drag strip located in the
Pontiac just outside Ottawa, Ontario. With the announcement that Top Dragster
and Top Sportsman would be one of the high lights in 2023, there was lots of
excitement to say the least. And this week we take those committed to competing
in this class to 8 with the addition of Mike Ogilvie on the dragster side and
Joel Morgan on the door car side.Joel hails from Kingston, Ontario and has been a regular at Luskville Dragway for years and years, with a number of rides. Even when Joel did not have his car up and running he was part of the Acker Bros. team and would travel to Luskville to crew for the other Kingston Team. Joel's D&D Performance powered Camaro brings the crowd to their feet each and every time he does one of his wild blown burnouts. Joining Joel this week is another Blown Car however this one is a Dodge, yes the big Blown Dodge between the pipes on Mike Ogilvie's Dragster will be screaming for a spot in the Top Dragster side of things come this years Bracket Bonanza. Mike who is probably the first local car to successfully compete with a blown motor will try and use that experience to not only qualify but when the BDL Top Dragster/Top Sportsman race presented by Mid Mountain Performance. |

FROM THE PITS APRIL 3/23 *Drivers meeting coming fast, as is the 2023 racing season, things kick off April 8th at Busters Bar and Grill with the 42 annual drivers meeting, and membership drive. Just a reminder all parking spots and memberships must be done by then in order to secure your parking spot for the 2023 season. *We are sure that everyone involved with Luskville joins us in congratulating Mr. and 
Mrs. Brandon Barker (Rachel Ogilvie) as they announce to us all that they will
be adding a new baby girl to the Bracket Life Brand racing team. The duo who
call Luskville Dragway their home track are a big part of everything that goes
on with Luskville Dragway, and all of the Tour Races we go too. The wedding was
a perfect example of that, as it was filled with many drag racing teams who as
you all know is our racing family. So as Brandon and Rachel take the next step
in life, I think i can maybe see that Jr. Dragster that hangs on the wall at
Mike and Vicki's shop maybe making a return to the track some where down the
road. Congratulations from everyone involved with Luskville Dragway.*Julia Malcol  m
was welcoming the sunshine this past weekend as she was able to get her new Jr.
Dragster out in it for some photos. Julia who was a rookie of the year in the
Jr. Class will step into her brand new Half Scale Jr. this season which is a big
step up from her beginning car which was sold to James Hewitt. Derek and Troy
travelled to Buffalo New York a week or so ago to pic the new ride up, and then
Derek spend 5 hours taking some lettering off. The paint on the car is
immaculate and patience was in store to get the lettering off in an effort to
make sure the custom paint stayed pristine. This new car comes with a completely
freshened Claws race engine and will be much faster than here previous one.
Plans are for some early season testing to be ready for Malcolm Carpentry
Opening weekend in May. Proud of this young lady and its only a matter of time
before she visits the winners circle. |

SOMETHING SWEET
FOR LUSKVILLE DRAGWAY, AS HONEYWELL WORKS SAYS WE ARE ON BOARD AGAIN: APRIL 3/23 We 
are fully aware that we are very fortunate to have the advertisers support
that we have, and don't think for a moment that we are not aware of it and
appreciate it greatly. Every year when one season finishes the next one begins,
and some of that work first to be done is resigning all of those that have
helped make what has happened at Luskville Dragway to continue to happen. Paulo
Giust always makes that much easier as he is usually one of the first to call me
and offer his continued financial support and any other support
needed. He made it very clear as he has many, many
times, that his support of Luskville Dragway is unwavering, and that if we
don't support ou r local track we wont have one like many other areas in
North America. That kind of support is and those kind of words is something
you never forget and something you are forever grateful for. Yes we have met
some incredible people and made some incredible friends along this road of
running Luskville Dragway, Paolo is very much one of them. So we are
extremely proud and pleased to announce that Paulo & Shannon are back with his support
in 2023, and the Honeywell Works Wally Weekend is on once again, August
18-19-20/2023.Paolo and Shannon Giust are the owners of Honeywell Works, it would be hard to find anyone, who is more of a supporter of his home track, and a track where he started his illustrious drag racing career than Paolo. Although he travels all over North America racing, he never forgets his roots and is quickly to say, “if we don’t support our local track, we won’t have one”. To this day even though his Radial vs. the World Camaro (Pro Mod) keeps him very busy he takes time to be part of Luskville Dragway, with his cash and with his support in many other ways. I don't think you could ever find anyone who is more supporting of his home track, both with his money, but also with his very staunch personal support. Honeywell Works specializes in commercial and residential site development services, and with over 30 years of experience brings you the best, when ever you can support those that support us. After the terrible crash in Orlando in late 2022 Paulo is currently rebuilding is "Black Betty" Pro Mod and will return to the Pro Mod wars. After the car is finished at G-Force Race Cars it do much more local racing than before, this is good news for those of us that would like nothing better than see him and his race car run. OVER THE YEARS PAULO HAS ENTERTAINED US WITH MANY DIFFERENT RIDES THIS IS JUST A COUPLE OF THEM

| RENNIE &
POITRAS ADD THEIR NAMES TO THE TOP DRAGSTER/TOP SPORTSMAN RACE :APRIL 3/23 There is no question that the Top Sportsman/Top Dragster race scheduled for this years Bracket Bonanza has garnered a  lot
of attention, and I think it is safe to say that everyone is looking forward to
seeing 16 of the fastest cars compete in it. Who will be the number one
qualifier, who will win the race, and who will surprise, we will have to wait
until August to find that out, but we done have to wait to see two more of those
that will try and do all of the above. Dave Rennie, who is definitely no
stranger to the winners circle after his dream season in 2022 where he captured
the Super Pro Super Tour Title has added his name to the list of fast door cars.
The little white Vega is definitely the "rat" that roared and with its low 5
second zone pass's will have to squeeze every once of horse power out of it to
make the field, but should get in and then look out. Poitras debuted what many
believe is one of the nicest dragsters to ever set foot on Canadian Soil, last
fall near the end of the season. Not only is Kevin's new Chrome Worx Ultra Car a
looker but he quickly went out and laid down some very, very quick pass's in the
new ride. Kevin who is also a major supporter of the Bracket Super Tour will be
a car to watch as it has the potential to be the fastest qualifier for sure. |
