HERE WE GO! The 2005 JCAR racing season starts next weekend (May 28) at Varney Motor Speedway in Mount Forest, Ontario. This could be your last chance to see the trucks' and cars' paint in perfect condition. All of the drivers are raring to tear up the track for the first time in 2005.
We have many new faces in the JCAR community this season. A bunch of the new drivers joining the JCAR family are Mat Johnson will be driving the #15 13hp truck/car. Stephen Goldner(#30) and brother Kyle Goldner(#60) will be piloting a couple mini-trucks. Brandon Ronald will be making appearances in his #97 9hp car, and Eddie Swales will also take to the track in his #23 9hp car.
Tom Tanner will be driving the #32 solid 13hp car, and his daughter Megan Tanner will be driving the #89 9hp car. There are a few more new drivers to look for as well. Those drivers will be announced shortly.
There has also been a bunch of drivers that have taken the step up from the 9hp cars to the 13hp trucks. Brandon Thurlby(#2) will be driving a brand new mini-truck. David Sharpe(#55) has purchased a mini-truck over the winter.
Brady Bice(#5) will be doing double duty as he is planning on racing both his 9hp car and will also driving a 13hp truck, which they purchased over the winter. Corey Moesker(#39) will be making the step up from the 9hp cars to the mini truck series and has high hopes for the 2005 season. Ryan Minke's chances of winning have increased over the winter as they have sold off the solid 13hp chassis, and has bought a suspended mini-truck.
The 2004 JCAR 9hp Champion, Jesse Pontello of St. Catharines, has been given the opportunity by Quaker State to race the #36 Vintage Modified race car this season, but may make a couple of appearances in a mini-truck in 2005.
Louis Dejardine of Parkhill, will be defending his title of the 'JCAR 13hp Champion' in 2005 as he will again be driving the #35 truck.
I believe I speak for all of the JCAR competitors when I say that it's definitely time to go racing again! See you at the track!
