GAHAN RACING
We started racing in May of 2002 with the Gahan Racing Team at NBIS, which is the fastest short track in Canada and it is located in the Geary Woods in Geary, New Brunswick. We raced in the Sportsman Division in 2002 and claimed "Rookie of the Year".I was the chief cook for the team and each week we would BBQ in our pit with a huge supply of chicken and later on steaks and sausages that were donated by The Victory Meat Market. In 2003 we continued to race in that division, but in 2004 the driver/owner, Paul Gahan decided he wanted more speed, so we moved up a division to the Prostock class. My main job now was spotter, that is the person who has the communication with the driver and tries to keep him out of trouble. Sometimes things happen so fast on the track that keeping your driver out of trouble is next to impossible. A spotter has to be quick thinking and calm at all times.In 2005, we continued in the Prostock class and had a trying year. We took our trailer to the track and soon made NBIS our weekend home. We have great food, good fun and lots of relaxation. We have made many friends there.
