BROCKVILLE, Ontario (July 24) - After rain spoiled the Ontario Dirt Late Models season opener at Autodrome Edelweiss on Friday the tour traveled to Brockville for another attempt at racing. Weather kept the event in question right up until race time, but fortunately the rain held off allowing the 27 teams in attendance to take to the track.
In the 30 lap feature it was David Scott and Andrew Reaume on the front row. Reaume was able to power to the lead from the top line and held the number one spot for the opening laps. Very quickly it was apparent that turn one would be a problem for the ODLM drivers. Paul Grigsby found himself into the barrier on the entry of the corner in the opening laps. Shortly after that yellow flag a multi-car crash left many teams in despair. Jason Haskell, Greg Belyea, Adam West, Charlie Sandercock and Keith Cameron were among those with the most damage done to their machines.
As the race got back underway Reaume continued to show the way out front. Pole sitter David Scott however slowly began to reel in the leader and took the top position midway through the A Main. Scott set sail from that point on and cruised to the win. "I love this track, it was fun to race on and the fans are great!" said the Garland, Pennsylvania native.
Reaume was able to hold on to second place while defending series champion Greg Oakes finished third.
The win gave Scott the Ontario Dirt Late Model point lead heading into round two at Cornwall Motor Speedway on Sunday, July 25th.
