    I wanted to write this before January raised its ugly head to usher in the new year but, as they say, I was overtaken by events.  Here we are a couple of days into 2026 and I’m already a few paces behind the curve. I can only hope that’s not an omen of things to…

    For those of you not familiar with our climatic challenges here on the Atlantic coast of Canada, you may find it strange we have scheduling difficulties when it comes to motorsport events in the region.
