Woods Racing

After the Mirabel Grand Prix, I headed back west to Cornwall to watch the Dave Seguin 7x Team tear up the dirt track. This is my 2nd year with Dave and his team and I can’t talk enough about this class…every race I attend, I love and if I had the time, I would build my own car and join in…but for now, I’ll stick to being the primary sponsor for the 7x Nissan.

.

Coming off a heat win in Brockville Saturday night, Dave started on the pole for the 1st heat…now..track conditions we’re horrible to say the least and with his rear wheel drive power-house, he got stuck on the outside and got shuffled back.

.

The feature treated him much better though, despite seeing temp’s of +200, and blowing a frost plug out the side of the block, he passed the checkered with a 5th place finish…that will keep him up in the points, and hopefully keep the camera’s pointed at the Canada Synthetics / Woods Racing sponsored car.

And Sunday is race day folks…quite the busy one at that.

.

I headed out early in the morning and headed across the Pointe-Fortune ferry to get to Mirabel for the Mirabel Grand Prix. The Fastco team was racing the Hyundai’s in the CTCC class. ( http://www.touringcar.ca/ for more info). The Fastco team runs the WoodsRacing logo on the front splitter in exchange for fluid tech support and product. It’s not often I can get away on a Sunday to watch a race so I was super excited to be there.

Martin, the crew chief, is one of the smartest in the business, and he does an amazing job orchestrating these crazy events.

.

Due to tranny problems in 2 of the 3 cars, Glenn gave up his seat to Lee, and since the car changed drivers, he started at the back of the pack. Even though it was crazy hot, and there was a lot of traffic on the track, Lee fought his way up to 11th spot by the time the checkered flag flew.

.

It was a great race, I love the series and glad I can help play a role in making these cars run awesome lap times.
