The Finals – 1967 GP of Canada Proxy

The final two rounds 5 & 6 of the 1967 GP of Canada Proxy came to a climax with an unplanned double header at the Cornwall Autodrome, hosted by Marek and the rest of the West Island Montreal and Cornwall Racing and Supper Club (WIMC). The #17 Cooper car of Kelowna’s Richard H had a seesaw final weekend, with an oh-so-close-to-podium 4th place in round 5 followed by a disappointing 12th in race 6. That landed the #17 car in 7th place in the Final Overall Standings … More The Finals – 1967 GP of Canada Proxy

Race #9 Quail Ridge Speedway

Seven racers made it out to Quail Ridge on Sunday for racing action.   A lot of close races with open wheeled F1’s plus some other cars really standing out in the other classes.  Don’s Slot.it Audi is so steady and eats laps, Rob’s Open 320i just as steady, and all the modern F1 cars are so close in performance.   Some bad luck in the F1 class for Leo, I have never seen two chassis guide holder’s break and both in the same class with his main F1 and backup F1! … More Race #9 Quail Ridge Speedway

Race #8 Canalami Raceway

Race #8 was held at Lez’s Canalami Raceway and basically the battle was for second place as Lez locked up first place fairly early.  We all think his plan was to rattle us with that center lane truck he selected for IROC….and it worked!    Second place was a big battle ending up in a tie between Rob and Don…Rob getting a lucky fastest lap point in Vintage Slot.it preventing Don from having second place all alone … More Race #8 Canalami Raceway

Group 5 Proxy Round #2

The second round of the Group 5 Proxy was ran in Auburn, Washington at the Willow Park track.  This four lane 51 foot copper taped track is typically set at 10 volts of power.  The Kelowna cars ran well with Lezlie finishing 4th place, Rob 5th place, and Leo 15th place.  The Group 5 Proxy is still fairly young this season so no car looks unbeatable yet. … More Group 5 Proxy Round #2

Race #7 Tronson Model Speedway

Congrats to Lezlie for taking home the Golden Cobra Sunday afternoon.  Don made it close winning two classes but in the end Lez prevailed in total points.  Rob had a fantastic day crashing and burning in two classes….maybe there should be a trophy for that!?  Newcomer Ken finished on the podium in IROC showing all of us he is a good driver and a future force!   … More Race #7 Tronson Model Speedway

Group 5 Proxy Round #1

The world’s fastest proxy started off with a bang in Maple Ridge, BC at Roger’s beautiful newly built MDF track running at 10 volts.  The cars were flying and very well driven to achieve maximum laps for the fantastic cars in this proxy.  Earlier in the day the three local Kelowna cars  performed very well in qualifying, all three Kelowna cars ended up in the top six qualifying.    The race itself was live streamed on YouTube showcasing the great driving skills of the lower mainland drivers.  At the end of the day Rob finished on the podium tied for 2nd with his BMW M1, Leo’s BMW M1 finished 11th, and Lez’s BMW M1 in 14th … More Group 5 Proxy Round #1
