Banquet 2006

This years Awards Banquet was a huge success! The event, held in Brantford, wrapped up the 2006 season in fine style. Masters of Ceremonies Bob Joseph and Ed Sanderson did a great job of hosting large amount of racers, team members, volunteers and fans. The food, as always, was excellant and the companionship was even better.

2006 was the year for young, second generation racers! Class 1600 Champion Jeff Zoskey was also voted by his peers as the Driver Of The Year while Class 7 Champion Brian Aube took home the Overall Points Award and Truck Rookie Of The Year. Travis Dinsmore took home second in Class 1600 and the Buggy Rookie Of The Year.

The voting for the Driver Of The Year was close...in fact, there was only one point seperating Jeff Zoskey from three other drivers. It was close enough that the executive decided to award the runner ups trophies. Congratulations to Jeff Zoskey, Brian Aube, Kevin Kern and Ray Weese. This award is voted by the drivers for whom they feel is not only a good, clean racer on the track but also a true sportsman off the track and in the pits. 

The Hard Luck Award was also a tough choice this year. There was 4 drivers that stood out as having problems all year long. In the end, it was decided to give the award to the one driver that broke at every race, but still plugged along all year. There was a few motor swaps and control arm changes on Saturday nights by Rob Sanderson, who took home the tool box filled with duct tape, Mech.wire, zip ties,rachet set, etc.
