August 7, 2006. CASCAR Super Series race teams were in action this past weekend at the Grand Prix of Trois Rivieres for the Arctic Cat 100. For Bryan Cathcart it was the first time on the temporary street circuit and he demonstrated an ability to adapt to the tough street circuit.
With track time at a premium Cathcart was trying get the Fitzsimmsons Stars Chevrolet up to speed as quickly as possible. “It was good to have a teammate for this event” said Cathcart. “With Bertrand Godin coming into the MidAmerica stable he’s helping me with the street racing stuff, and I’m helping him our on the handling characteristics of stock cars”.
Cathcart had a disappointing result on the road course event earlier this year and was determined to improve. “The car was improving this weekend but still not where I wanted it to be for qualifying and could only manage 23rd on the grid” said Cathcart.
As the green flag waved for the Arctic Cat 100 Cathcart wanted to avoid trouble and settle into a rhythm for the 42 lap event. “I guess we were far enough back to stay out of the corner one trouble” said Cathcart. “After that I just concentrated on the job and tried to stay relaxed and things worked out pretty well.
After the first lap incident was cleared, the race ran green the rest of the distance and Cathcart was able to move up eight positions and score a 15th place finish. “It’s not a bad day when you can gain some spots the way we did and come home with the car intact” said Cathart. “I am looking forward to getting back on the ovals for the next race”.
Bryan Cathcart and the Fitzsimmons Stars Chevrolet will be back in action this Saturday night on the Mosport Speedway oval.
