By Alain ForcierNext weekend Alain Bergeron’s 2005 season will begin. Team Bergeron’s first objective is to finish all the 'Empire Super Sprints ' races and finish in the top 5 in the championship at season’s end. The 'official' beginning of the season for the ESS regular is Sunday, May 8th at Cayuga County Fair Speedway NY, but several drivers will meet the day before at Fonda Speedway NY for the Sprint 360 Open.
The test will give Bergeron and his team the opportunity to make any last adjustments to his car. The ESS season is long, with about 30 races, ending in October. Last season, Alain Bergeron was in a good position to achieve his objective of fifth in the series standings when he went from twelfth to fifth in the standing in a single weekend of racing.
That weekend Bergeron won at Autodrome Drummond. Afterwards things took a turn for the worse when engine troubles and three major accidents dealt a fatal blow to his campaign. The last accident, at the beginning of September at Granby, terminated Bergeron's season when he suffered a broken hand as a result.
It was a sad end to the Québecois drivers 2004 season, one that started off so well. Bergeron had already won the first three DASH races of the 2004 season.
Despite his 2004 setbacks Bergeron’s long-time partners are back for 2005. They are Coffrage Daniel Lampron, Carquest, Domaine del'Érable, Castrol, Entreprises Joe Boucher, Concept Fini Meubles, GarageRéal Barré, Emballages Pro-Cart.
For 2005, two US partners are also lending their support to Bergeron. They are DMI and Real Racing Wheels. Thanks for your support
