CRAIG REVELLE
- I am, and have been a race fan for all my life. I
am 31 years old, and have spent all of my summers from as far
back as I can recall, at the racetrack.
Brockville on
Friday nights, Can-Am on Saturday nights, and Cornwall on
Sunday evenings used to be the weekly routine for me as I was
growing up, and I wouldn’t change any of it for the world,
lots of great memories.
Today, Brockville and Can-Am are running on
opposite nights, and I still hit Cornwall intermittently, and
I still have the passion for the sport that I have always had.
Without hesitation, I am the
first to admit that my mechanical aptitude is not very good at
all, and as much as I love to help out my friends with race
cars, in the pits, turning wrenches on race day is not my
forte. With that being said, I lend a helping hand in
other areas, such as website design, and graphic design,
something that can be of use to any race team and something
that all teams should have. [read

CLARKE - Although I’m not as serious about it as some of the
people who call themselves ‘track chasers’, I enjoy
racing. Dirt, pavement...it doesn’t
matter. I’m a race fan first and a track
chaser second. I enjoy talking to the
drivers and teams in the pits and learning about where
they’re from, where they’ve raced and how their seasons
are going. That doesn’t mean I know
anything about cars. In fact, it’s just
the opposite. If I get in my personal
vehicle and it starts, I drive it. If it
doesn’t, I either call a mechanic or take the
bus...depending on what’s in my wallet.
My
first exposure to racing was with my father and brother at the
old Kingston Speedway. I loved that place
and thought the drivers who raced there were superstars.
It would be great to see a track there again....[read

DAVID
SMITH - live in Kent, UK and have been following motorsport
for over 35 years. I first became involved with oval racing in
the late 70’s when my Late Uncle who was a mechanic for
National Hot Rod Legend Barry Lee, took me along to Wimbledon
and Arlington stadiums. Spurred on by these
trips, I acted as mechanic for a good friend Colin Brooks who
raced mini’s at the now defunct Crayford stadium in Kent. Helped
by Colin and ex- Spedeworth superstox driver Ron Francis, I
built my own mini rod and competed for two seasons with some
success. When the money ran out, Colin
moved up into Hot rods and enjoyed success with a... [read

I’m
a race fan for all of my life! I’m 16 years old and I get
out to the track whenever I can. I got into racing from my dad
who used to watch racing at Cayuga and Pinecrest Speedway.
Racing is even in my name. Most people know me as Rudy but my
real name is Andrew or A.J (named after A.J Foyt). My first
time at the track I was 4 years old and it was at Capital City
Speedway. I live in Pembroke Ontario about 1 ½ hours from
Ottawa. Over the past few years I’ve been visiting
Peterborough & Kawartha Speedway. You can find me every
Wednesday night at Capital City Speedway, I take Picture’s;
do race reports and also a crew Member for Ogilvie
Motorsports. I hope in the coming years to travel to Quebec to
follow the ACT Castrol Series also head down to the states to
watch some PASS and ACT events. I’ve only been to one Dirt
race in my live at the Golden Lake Speedway, but I would like
to see some dirt races in the coming years. READ RUDY
