Brian MacNaughton Racing

Our 2006 racing season began in May. The Gahan Team decided to run the Maritime Prostock Tour traveling around the Maritimes racing, but Bob and I decided that we were satisfied just spending our summer at NBIS. Bob was approached by several drivers to help out mechanically on their team. One of those drivers was Brian MacNaughton from Lower Coverdale which is near Riverview, New Brunswick. Bob decided to help Brian through the racing season.

So far we have had no wins but a lot of top 10 finishes. I help out on the Saturdays that I don't work by timiing laps for Brian during practise, but when the actual race begins you can usually find me in the Bud section of the stands watching the race........and "NO, I am not drinking beer"!!

I enjoy it there because I can take my own chair and sit in the shade between the bleachers and as well there are not a lot of people running back and forth in front of me while I'm trying to watch the race. Nothing irritates me more than trying to watch a race and have people stand in front of me to have a little chit chat....or kids running up and down the bleachers.

We have missed 2 weekends of racing due to rain so we will probably still be racing in mid October. I am hoping for the rest of the summer to be beautiful on the weekends, as by mid October the air begins to get a little chilly.

I will be keeping our winnings posted here and any excitiment from the track on a weekly basis so check back. We have also taking up a new sport at the track called washerboard. Terry and Bob (from Moncton) were the winners of the washerboard tournament 2 weekends ago. I am not counting on winning any tournaments but it sure is fun. "Got to keep practising". For anyone not familiar with washerboard...the object of the game is to throw a washer (metal discs not washing machines...lol) into a hole and score points for the team, if the washer goes in the hole. There are 3 holes in the board and the holes have values of 1, 3, & 5. The trick is not to go over 21 or you get points taken away....so many times we have been at 20 only to be set backward because we got a 3 or a 5. Sometimes I think the more beverages you consume the better you get, but that's my theory.

Until next week.....Good Luck Brian!
