There aren’t too many divisions out there where you can compete in an older car. Everything is constantly evolving or engineered every year. That’s what makes the Pro Stock division so special.

“With the experience, I now have as a driver for reading the track, finding those preferred lines or even adjusting the driving style to the track conditions has improved and is important to finishing consistently. Sometimes you need to put your car where others may not feel comfortable running. These cars can be tricky to drive you never know if they will slip out from under you. You really need to know your limits and to try to run as close to them as you can. All in all the car ran superbly all season and finish a close second was a good result for us but we had a bit of a hard time with some track conditions over the season and hope to improve on that next season.”

Dave went on to explain: “We are at our strongest during the dry slick conditions or when there is a minimal bite. To make a run for the 2020 championship we will need to be good no matter what the track throws at us. The competition is tough at Cornwall and you need to be on your game every night.”
