The team
headed to the last race of the year at Cayuga Speedway for the
labour weekend event in conjunction with the Nascar Canadian Tire
Series. The team practiced hard trying to tighten the car up
throughout practice. "The car was extremely loose - it just
felt like i was driving on marbles all afternoon" stated Dave.
"We qualifed 7th overall out of the 21 car field, but as soon as
we took the green the car just didn't want to get up and go.
We were just slow coming off the corners and finally the engine
let go going into turn 4. I'm really disappointed - we were
really quick at Sunset Speedway last weekend and I was hoping to
back it up this weekend" says Dave. This ended the season
for the Maple Leaf team with Dave finishing 5th overall in the
points even with the engine failure and the crash at Peterborough.
